Disk drive error codes (4040, 8050, 8250, sfd-1001, D9060, D9090) The Commodore disk drives indicated hardware failures detected during boot with a blink code. Here's the meaning from the 8050/8250 service manual: POWER UP DIAGNOSTIC FOR 8050/8250 FLASH CODE On power up, the three LED's on the drive should blink. The drive LED's go off and the center Tri-State LED remains green. The system has a built-in self diagnostic which can be read in the form of a flash code. In the event of a failure, the 3 LED's will blink in a repetitive sequence. The number of blinks between intervals will indicate the possible location of a failure. ERROR INDICATIONS NUMBER OF FLASHES ERROR CAUSE COMPONENT LOCATION 1 Zero Page 6532 UC1,UE1 2 ROM $E000-$EFFF 2364 UL1 3 ROM $C000-$DFFF 2364 UH1 4 Unused 5 Zero Page 6530 6502 UK3 UH3 6 Common RAM $1000-$13FF 2114 UC4,UC5 7 Common RAM $2000-$23FF 2114 UD4,UD5 8 Common RAM $3000-$33FF 2114 UE4,UE5 9 Common RAM $4000-$43FF 2114 UF4,UF5 10 Controller ROM 6530 6502 UK3 UH3 If the LED's come on and stay on, the microprocessor UN1 is probably at fault.
