disc drive doesnt work, makes a whirring noise but nothing happens

how much is the trinity worth selling with this problem? (UK estimate)

Hello,

You can find a replacement disk at eBay (around 10-20 EUR). It is quite easy to replace it, you only need patience to remove all screws on the back, then change it.

I replaced mine a couple of years ago buying 2 standard floppy disk drives in a shop for 5 eur (both)...I have one brand new unused in case the one I replaced will stop working.

It is a very straighforward job

depending on what model you have they will still sell £150-250 even with faulty drive

but yes a nos drive will set you back £5-15
