[comp.sys.atari.st] 520ST internal drive prob.

My 520ST internal disk drive's indicator light turns on and you here a small
whim but the drive motor never turns on.  I am unable to use the computer
because it won't read any disks.  What might the problem be?

There is a good chance the belt motor has either fallen off or broken.
