Re: How do you know 3.5" disk drive works?

Mmm... after seeing the walk through, I am quite scared. :)

Note that I am not a hardware guy, the main reason my GS remains dead
for 10 years now is the power supply blown up. This might be simple
task for anybody here but not for a software guy like me. Does those
disk cleaner using a mockup 3.5" disk works? If yes, I would go and
hunt for one.

PS: 2 decades ago I did open up a 3.5" drive and cannot put back.
