Hi dear ,,colleagues''. First, sorry for my crap english. My EII story is a bit up-down. Bought it in 2007, perfectly working.Was a dream so I just decided to start ,, hunting''one -and finally got it. Since then no time to use the monster at all.Because of moving it from a room to another very often-from a place to another (renovating the flat, moving all things you know how is it).The problem I found -as expected,when I tested it a few days ago, the front panel with led's and buttons is completly dead... Just when I power the unit on , it blinks. The display shows some error data there.I took pictures.That's all.I just opened it. Oh...Jesus Christ. Inside I found flowers dirt, a pen, and a lot of dust.For sure the unit was serviced a few years ago, because there are some things that indicate this. I just cleaned it. But it behaves the same. The HD works, 5.25'' floppy works. I just have some blank new disks and one wich have (or have had, because I heared them ) just a few sounds on it... but now , when I introduce the disk, the floppy mechanism just runs ... and runs... and the display shows some unknown data there... very strange.What should I do ?
Second. Since I do not have any sound on the disks, What If I will change the floppy with an 3.25''? Can someone tell me what type? I can give the ten disks (new blank) and the old 5.25'' floppy mechanism to someone who need it , for free. Thank you guys very much in advance for help.
Regards, Mike, Oslo, Norway.
