The drive powers on but does nothing. When switched on the lower red switch light comes on but the upper "activity" light never comes on and the drive never moves. I have another 1050 that does work great so I know what it should be doing. Also the computer never recognizes the drive is there if it's hooked up - I just get the Memo Pad. Not so with the good drive - it talks perfectly with the computer.
I've read through all the posts I could find and did some work on the drive, but nothing seems to have worked. I've replaced the two rectifier diodes and the three large caps and the two small ones below them. The regulators are putting out 5V and 12V like they should from the right hand pin so I didn't replace them. Nothing gets really hot or anything, but I did notice the heat sink/shield that the regs are attached to did warm up when I had the power supply attached.
So, short of throwing this to the parts bin, what else can I try? It's starting to cost more than it's worth just in repair parts.
