Alright, starting a new topic for this one. So before I did anything, if I had a disk inserted in the floppy drive, my PC98 would try to boot from floppy drive, and the light would turn on for about three seconds before turning off. I was then left with a black screen.

I figured this for a dead drive, so I got a few replacements from computer shops.

The first one would have its light turn on and stay on upon boot, but my PC98 would NOT try and boot from floppy drive, and instead booted from hard drive.

The same thing happened with the second floppy drive I tried.

But after that, the light for the floppy drive would not turn on at all. No matter which drive I tried, including the original, now gives me no light at all. It's clear there's some power going to them, because the motor for the floppy drive still turns on.

Even with the original floppy drive inserted, the PC98 will NOT attempt to boot from floppy.

Is it possible I shocked it? I'm trying to figure out what happened and I'm at a complete loss. I can take pictures of my BIOS setup if that helps.

Please help, I'm pretty worried about this one.
