Opening up an Amstrad CPC 6128 to change the disk drive belt, and then sorting out a power supply for said drive.

  • Good video, very useful. But you have placed the write protect check pin in a wrong hole!

  • @deimos1975 That's odd. It's in the pin the instructions said it should go in, and it works just fine.

  • What a marvellous video. Really enjoyed watching this one. I am now inspired to sort out my 6128 which probably has the same problem. Or can I just send it to you? :D

  • @ash81b4u Haha... no you can't, but it's definitely worth having a go at :)

  • Contrats Steve! If I had recorded a video about me changing the drive belt on my Speccy+3 it would have looked quite similar to you doing this. :)

    Persistence pays off!

  • @markvergeer I'd have enjoyed watching that.

    This was almost 2 videos, as I was going to upload the belt replacement part before the socket/adapters arrived, and done the PSU bodge as a 2nd video. I'm glad I waited, as the 1st part would have looked like a fail.
