Title: 1541 II repairs.
Post by: Rorshach on March 26, 2009, 04:48:08 PM
Greetings Programs

Anybody know of a place to get troubleshooting info for the 1541 II? One of mine I got just over a year ago and has given me trouble in any writing operation. Saving a program results in a write protect on error. Formatting or Validating results in other errors usually a read error. I have checked the IR emitter over the write protect notch is functional. The Dectector underneath could still be functional. I did try Ray Carlsens site but there is nothing specific to the 1541 II and the 1541 troubleshooting does not cover anything related to this problem I have.
