What channels are you using for the American RF cord?  When I use the Famicom, I have to use a channel in the high 90s rather than 3 or 4.

[MaxXimus]

mine is ch13 for rf

[ravenslolita]

Hmmm. I'll have to give it a go in the higher numbers.
I had it set to  ch.3 but i didn't look around in the higher numbers.
I'll give that a try.

You should use the color cables it's a lot better than searching for the channel. In my RF Famicom I get channel 65

[ravenslolita]

Thanks guys!
I found mine on ch. 92!
I'm so glad nothing is wrong with my famicom!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think he means turning it so that it is facing vertical, like how a Wii stands.

No, he means tuning the speed screw on the motor to alter the speed of it.

[jaybepr]

My friend how do i adjust the screw for the motor speed, were is that screw.

[133MHz]

Hehe I'm not the FDS guy here . But here we have a few members who are experts on Disk Systems that could help you out

[MaxXimus]

No, he means tuning the speed screw on the motor to alter the speed of it.

And that is why I don't give advice, haha.

I've never done it myself, but I think there's a plastic piece inside the FDS with a screw-like head. You turn that ever so slightly and test a game. If your games are working fine, you're done. If not, turn it slightly again.
