My 1571 disk drive throws some weird errors. In this series of three videos, I attempt to repair it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very occasionally the drive works. Mostly it throws a “51 Overflow in Record” error when it attempts to read anything (directory, programs, data…). This is weird because that’s a write error! Yet it’s not writing…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In part 1, I perform essential maintenance – strip the drive down, clean it, and replace the electrolytic capacitors. A good general overhaul in fact Does this fix it? Well, obviously not, or it wouldn’t be a three part series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
