When I went to to start up my 8580s, I
found that all three of my floppy disk drives would not read diskettes.
Two of them are manufactured by Mitsubishi. Before shelving them,
I decided to pull off the covers and poke about. I found several
surface mount electrolytic capacitors that were either open or had very
high ESR.
I successfully repaired both
units by replacing the capacitors indicated. The third unit is manufactured
by Alps, and I haven't looked at it (yet).
Ed. Tom: If you only have the classic through-hole
caps and you don't want to wait for the SMD parts to arrive, then sure, go for
it! It looks ugly, but it will work no problem. Otherwise I would suggest
getting the proper replacement - a set of electrolytic or polymer SMD caps
of the appropriate diameter and matching or slightly higher capacity/voltage
rating.
