Amstrad PC and PPC Service Manual (Compendium)

From RetroTechCollection

The file held under this title is not a compendium. It is Amstrad's PPC 512S/512D, PPC 640S/640D Personal Portable Computer Service Manual — the same document as Amstrad PPC 512 / PPC 640 Service Manual, in a different 32-page scan. Its cover and contents list have been compared directly against that file; they are the same manual.

It does not cover the PC1512 or the PC1640. For those, see Amstrad PC1512 Service Manual and Amstrad PC1640 Service Manual, which are separate books and are both hosted here.

Which scan to use

[edit | edit source]

This file is 32 PDF pages; Amstrad PPC 512 / PPC 640 Service Manual is a 42-page scan of the same 31-page manual, with the wider drawings split across images. Both are complete; the other is generally the easier of the two to read values from.

The full description of what the manual settles — the battery compartment and running time, the modem, the display and the supply — is on Amstrad PPC 512 / PPC 640 Service Manual.
