Hi Mick, |
18 |
|
19 |
I had a drive doing similiar things whith comparable "features". |
20 |
In my case it was a defective cable, which gave good contact when |
21 |
the drive was put on its side due the slight drill of the cable. |
22 |
But it is less likely as what the other said, though... |
23 |
|
24 |
HTH! |
25 |
Best regards, |
