Procedure 1
FDD Head Cleaning Check
FDD head cleaning is an option available in the Diagnostics Program. A detailed description
of the head cleaning operation is given in Chapter 3,
Tests and Diagnostics
.
After loading Toshiba MS-DOS, run the Diagnostics Program, then clean the FDD heads using
the cleaning kit. If the FDD still does not function properly after cleaning, go to Procedure 3.
If the test program cannot be executed on the T1900/T1900C, go to Procedure 2.
Procedure 2
External 5.25-inch FDD Check
The floppy disk controller on the computer’s lower system board controls the internal and the
external FDD. To determine if either the system board or the internal FDD is defective, check
the following items:
Check 1
Connect an external 5.25-inch FDD to the PRT/FDD port and make sure it func-
tions properly. If it does, perform Procedure 4. If it doesn’t, perform Check 2.
NOTE
: To use an external 5.25-inch FDD, set the external FDD/PRT option
in the SETUP program to FDD A or FDD B.
Check 2
Replace the lower system board with a new one following the steps in Chapter 4,
Replacement Procedures.
