Dear Cathy,
I had a similar problem and when I replaced the ribbon cable it
solved the problem. You can't see any damage on the old cable or
connectors. In my area there are computer flea markets about once
a month and you can get replacement cables for a few dollars. You
can also get used floppy drives for one or two dollars. New drives
cost from ten to fifteen dollars.
That's my two cents. I hope it works for you.
