Welcome to the '''Acorn Computers''' category! Here you’ll find maintenance procedures, troubleshooting workflows, capacitor-replacement specs, expansion‐and‐modding tutorials and service manual links for Acorn’s pioneering line of microcomputers, from the early 8-bit Acorn Atom through the RISC-based Archimedes and Risc PC series. For the BBC Micro series see the [[:Category:BBC Micro|BBC Micro]] category.

Each system includes:
* Cleaning, maintenance & restoration procedures  
* Common fault diagnosis & repair  
* Capacitor replacement & power-supply mods  
* Expansion and expansion-slot restoration
