So, being the smart person that I am, I took apart my a500 and screwed something up. After I put it back together, I started getting read/write errors with disks that were working.

After googling around, I have a feeling I knocked the heads out of line when I took the floppy drive out. I have found some info on manually realigning the upper and lower heads, but I haven't found any reference images or much detailed info on it.

I have no idea what the heads look like or how to align them. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
H
