1571 dead/parts

Hello,

There doesn't appear to be a hardware section on csdb so move it if it doesn't belong in this section but somewhere else.

Anyway...

A while ago (2 years?) I had an automatic fuse from my room that turned off due to a shortcut.

Apparently it was caused inside my 1571.

The red wax-like stuff that's in the socket where you connect the power cable was melted away together with some of the plastic under it that's around the 2 serial cable connectors.

Yesterday I tried to connect it to a PC ATX powersupply but not much appeared to happen although I meassured 5 & 12V on the 4 pin floppy connector after I bridged pinhile 13 (black/gnd) & 14 (green/poweron).

Once I connect the CN1 connector with all other connectors to the mech unplugged the PSU fan won't turn and I hear some humming sound so I guess the main pcb is having issues and is generating some short circuit somewhere.

It's not clear that the mech is damaged aswell.

So I wondered if this can be fixed or if anyone is interested in the pieces for spare parts?
(I could bring it with me if I make it to X)

Otherwise it will end up in the bin :/

Edit:

The 1571 psu itself is useless, it broke in half decades ago and was "fixed" by bridging the broken "lanes" with some wires.

Just bring it. Even if the drive itself is damaged beyond repair some spare parts (especially all the mechanical components which fail more often than e.g. those of 1541 drives) might still be handy.
