Repairing a Chinon FB354 Amiga 500 internal disk drive. It's a very common model that was used in slightly different revisions in Amigas of various flavors. This one had some issues and produced random "Replace disk" and "Read/Write" errors.
I'm replacing capacitors, lubricating the head positioning worm gear and clean the heads. The culprit in this case were the little microswitches that determine if a disk is inserted and if it's write protected.
The contact cleaner I'm using (and that I highly recommend because it's awesome) is "Teslanol T6 Oszillin Kontakt- und Tunerspray".
You can get the contact cleaner via Amazon here (affiliate links):

I only found the spray available in Europe as of yet. If anyone knows a source for other regions, please let me know. ;)

Another way to support me (without having to spend any more money than you normally would) is to use my Amazon affiliate links.
If you buy stuff on Amazon, you can use the below links to get to your country’s Amazon site and I will get a small share of what you pay there. You can buy whatever you like and use this link as your regular Amazon link if you want to. The price and everything else stays the same for you. I consider this an okay (and easy) way to give me some support.
