Looking for a Technical Repair Manual - 2009/04/30 20:42 for an old Mac Classic II circa 1992. That I can purchase, if so how much?

I know there are newer, better, faster computers available--but I'm retired/disabled and only use it for word processing.

The floppy drive mechanism isn't fully ejecting the floppy--does anyone know if there's an adjustment--or something I can do--as I cannot afford $85.00 per hour to "just look and see if it's fixable," and then pay another $90.00 - $135.00 for the part, "if it can be found!"

Thank You

Re:Looking for a Technical Repair Manual - 2009/05/01 08:36 Technically, Apple does not allow Service Source manuals to be distributed, but they float around from time-to-time. This may prove to be useful for you.

Helpful members no doubt will jump in and provide advice and opinions regarding repair or inexpensive (or free) replacement options.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Re:Looking for a Technical Repair Manual - 2009/05/04 00:26 There is an adjustment for disk alignment but yours is probably just dirty. Cleaning the dust out of the drive may fix the problem. I would open it up and clean it out well (not just blow a can of air into it). It's not too hard to get the floppy drive out but you need a long T-15 Torx driver to get the 4 screws out of the case to open it.

Someone on this site may know where to find a floppy repair tutorial:
