Apple IIC Model A2S4000 Doesn't read Floppy Disks

[3spooky5u]

I have no Idea where to put this, but when I went to put a floppy disk in today it wouldn't read. It was working fine yesterday. So i opened it up cleaned it out, checked for loose circuits and found nothing. :\

Any tips? :|

Apple IIc? Seriously?

Did you try a new floppy disk? Floppy disks have a habit of becoming unreliable after 30 years. Actually, so do floppy disk drives.

Yes I'm serious

I'll try replacing the floppy drive.

Not to be a fan boy from another camp, but the c128 from my childhood, that I gave to my nephew last year was still reading disks just fine. Don't know if it still does, but as of last year it was fine. So go buy a Commadore 128 and you will be fine, this apple stuff is a dead end, or so said my dad.

Actually good luck with it, hope you get it working.
