[comp.sys.cbm] C64 & 1541 probs HELP

I have just taken my c64 and 1541 out of mothballs.   While trying to set it
up I ran into two problems I was hoping somebody could clue me in.



1.	My 1541 instructions are lost so this may sound dumb... 
	but my disk drive motor keeps running constantly when I turn it on.
	I turned it on then the c64 but no luck.   Do I need to service it?


2.	Something is wrong with the video output to my color tv.   It seems
	to be a grid of alternating blue and white squares.  Ive tried to
	poke an ascii character into it but no luck.  However I got the 
	color of the square to change.   Its hard to see, but the commands
	still work... just the screen dosent show it.


Thanks in advance
