Hi,

One problem floppy drive in a laptop, I hear a "wine" noise (belt slip)
during an attempt to read a floppy. I removed the floppy drive and checked
it. I removed the belt and cleaned it with a rubber cleaner/revitalizer.
Afterwards, no more "wine" noise and the floppy drive can read/write now.

I would like to buy a new belt, but this belt is very small in thickness
(can't use any other type of belt), and I doubt I can find a source that
sells them.


A floppy drive with a belt, and in a laptop? I haven't seen anything
but direct drive motors in floppy drives, since the 360K full height
5.25" drives went away. Who made the drive, and what is the model
number?
