Fat Frog FDD doesnot read or write

[rmberg]

Hi, my floppy drive in the fat frog is not useable from one day to another.

Its light goes on for a split second when I turn on the table. When I try to load or save it says there's no floppy. When I try to format its looks like it does start but stops at 2%, I don't think it is actualy doing something at all.

I brought it to the dealer for repair and they changed it with a few other drives, which did not work.

They put an external power on it with no results.

They say that the mainboard is the cause and needs to be replaced.

They have contacted the import firm in the Netherlands, but there a no new boards available.

Now they advise me to buy a new computer. The computer is fine but I need to be able to save my shows.

I really need some advise from someone who knows before spending a lot of money.

Thanks.
