This is strange considering the top case just sits there.... Are you sure  
cable isn't loose or being pinched by the top cover or even in way of the 
closing screw?

I'd say to bring it to a tpug meting but thats a wayz off now with summer.


Anyone else on the list here,have a drive mech that was scared of the dark?

After a frustrating time I picked up the 1581 again today and managed to get it 
nearly working except for one oddity,
when I close the case (ie top cover) and tighten the rear screw the drive will 
read but not write, even when I format a
disk it barfs out a ?bad disk error.  It works with the top cover off but I 
really don't wanna leave it that way.  Any
ideas?
