Re: [M100] Can't format a disk with DVI

nimh chemistry is ok for the circuit, but there is always still the separate issue that the cheapest no-name manufactured ones are a risk simply because of unknown construction quality and longevity. So, try to get Yausa or Varta or Panasonic etc, and generally pay more than $5 per batt not $2

I would check all the caps on the board just to make sure. Which caps failed? Quite amazing it worked unless they ate through the write control line. From: M100 > on behalf of Chris Kmiec
