After years I got my old TRS-80 down from the closet. What I remember it did   
   not work. But when I got it down and plug it all back in with the 3 disk   
   drives it worked and I booted up some old programs and games and bought back a   
   lot of good memory's.   
      
   But reading some disk all the sudden it could not read one. I reset it and   
   power on and off and with a disk or any other boot disk in the boot drive it   
   just spins the head never moves now.   
      
   I clean the ribbon cable connections and plugs. At lest on the drive they are   
   gold plated.   
      
   The TRS-80 still works. If I turn off the Expansion Interface it comes up with   
   in put RAM.   
      
   It just says at the one junk screen on resets with a disk in the drive and   
   spins it but never moves the head. I can move the head my hand and on a reset   
   it parts to track 0 and never moves from there now.   
      
   Not sure what is wrong it was working. I guess it was like this when I put it   
   away years ago. So with 20 years time it like fixed it self but now not   
   working. It was working for like 2 days.   
      
   Any one know what I could do? I removed the RS232 board in it. Still no good.   
      
   May best guess maybe the RAM went back. I got a 48K Expansion Interface.   
      
   I hope some one can help.
