Maintenance Guides: Difference between revisions

Index the Apple printer and display Service Source volumes and the Schneider printer manuals, which were reachable from no article, with the measured test points they publish; and add an honest note on the two software-documentation collections
Index the fourteen Apple Service Source volumes that have a manual here but no article, add the Portrait Display to the displays entry, and link the Apple Documentation index

* '''Commodore 1541''' — [[Commodore 1541 Troubleshooting & Repair Guide]] (Sams, 1986: theory of operation, schematics, parts layouts and parts lists, with the drive motor servo circuit documented separately for the 1540, 1541 and 1542)

* '''Apple ink-jet and dot-matrix printers''' — ten ''Service Source'' volumes with no article behind them: [[StyleWriter Service Source]] (the only one with a '''revision-identification procedure''': Rev A logic board silkscreened QG2-5053, Rev B QG2-2403, and the two are '''not''' interchangeable), [[StyleWriter II Service Source]], [[StyleWriter 1500 Service Source]] ('''no internal supply and no fuse'''), [[Portable StyleWriter Service Source]] (optional NiCd pack; four of its ten error-LED states are battery states), [[Color StyleWriter Pro Service Source]], [[Color StyleWriter 2200 Service Source]], [[Color StyleWriter 2400 Service Source]] ('''internal supply and fuse'''), [[Color StyleWriter 2500 Service Source]] ('''same chassis, external adapter, neither'''), [[Color StyleWriter Service Source]] (actually the '''4100 and 4500''' manual) and [[Color StyleWriter 6500 Service Source]] (with an '''NVM hex decoder''' that makes the printer's stored state readable without the driver software). Also [[ImageWriter II Service Source]] and [[ImageWriter LQ Service Source]], both '''partial by Apple's design''' — the Take Apart and Adjustments chapters were shipped as a separate Paperless Printer file that is not here — and [[Envelope Feeder Service Source]] for the LaserWriter envelope feeder.

* '''Apple displays''' — [[Studio Display (17" CRT, 16" viewable image size) Service Source]] is the one Apple display manual here that publishes '''measured internal voltages with tolerances''': anode '''27 V DC ±0.2 V''' on Apple high-voltage probe '''076-0392''', B+ '''180 V ±2.0 V''' at pin 180V on P305, heater '''6.3 V ±0.63 V''' at pin H, and RGB cathodes '''65–85 V''' at pins RD/GN/BL and near-equal to one another. [[Studio Display (21" CRT, 19.8" viewable image size) Service Source]] adds a power-board check — '''6.7 V ±0.05 V''' at the cathode of diode '''DP9''', adjusted on '''PP1''' — and its own CRT discharge procedure. [[17" ColorSync Displays Service Source]] and [[20" ColorSync Displays Service Source]] are the '''AppleVision 750/750AV and 850/850AV''' manuals under the November 1997 names. [[Studio Display (15" flat panel) Service Source]] and [[Studio Display DVI Service Source]] cover the flat panels, and between them carry Apple's three-way version-identification table. '''Read [[CRT Discharge Procedure]] before opening any of the CRT models.'''

[[17" ColorSync Displays Service Source]] and [[20" ColorSync Displays Service Source]] are the '''AppleVision 750/750AV and 850/850AV''' manuals under the November 1997 names. [[Macintosh Portrait Display Service Source]] is the odd one out: Apple built '''domestic and international (“Series B”) versions whose troubleshooting and repair procedures differ''', and its Adjustments chapter carries '''two different video procedures''' — “Video With Screen Control” and “Video Without Screen Control” — so identifying the set in front of you comes first. [[Studio Display (15" flat panel) Service Source]] and [[Studio Display DVI Service Source]] cover the flat panels, and between them carry Apple's three-way version-identification table. '''Read [[CRT Discharge Procedure]] before opening any of the CRT models.'''
* '''Apple Macintosh and Power Macintosh models with a manual here but no article yet''' — fourteen ''Service Source'' volumes. Compact and portable: [[Macintosh Portable Service Source]] (the one Macintosh whose main cell is a '''sealed lead-acid pack''' — it sulphates rather than leaking alkali, and a pack that has fallen below 5.4 V can no longer be recharged by the machine) and [[Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh Service Source]] ('''377 pages with no Take Apart chapter at all''' — there is no Apple-published disassembly sequence for that machine anywhere). NuBus Power Macs: [[Power Macintosh 7100 Series Service Source]] and [[Power Macintosh 8100/ WS 8150 Service Source]], both of which carry the '''HDI-45 pinout''' and the logic-board connector map. PCI Power Macs: [[Power Macintosh 7200 Series/WS 7250 Service Source]] and [[Power Macintosh 4400 Service Source]] — '''both of those supplies are manually switched between 115 V and 230 V, not auto-ranging''', so an imported machine can arrive set for the wrong mains — plus [[Power Macintosh 7300/ 7500/7600 & WS 7350 Service Source]] (whose Troubleshooting chapter carries Apple's '''2/3/4/6 GB Firmware Utility''', a software fix for a drive that mis-reports its capacity and looks dead), [[Power Macintosh 8200 and 8500 Series/WS 8550 Service Source]] (the '''only''' coverage anywhere of the Europe-only 8200), [[Power Macintosh 9500 Series Service Source]] (processor card treated as a separate module — a 9500 that will not chime is often a card that has worked loose) and [[Power Macintosh 8600/ 9600 & WS 9650 Service Source]] ('''700 W peak inrush''', the figure to size a bench supply or UPS against). Also [[Macintosh Processor Upgrade Service Source]] for the PowerPC 601 upgrade card fitted to 68LC040 machines, and [[Power Macintosh/Performa 5200 and 5300 Service Source]], which carries Apple's '''REA Procedures''' for the freezing and video colour-hue faults and prints separate power-supply and analogue-board take-apart procedures for Rev. A and Rev. B boards. '''Read [[CRT Discharge Procedure]] before opening the all-in-one models.'''
* '''Schneider-badged printers''' — [[Schneider DMP3000 Service Manual]], [[Schneider DMP4000 Service Manual]] and [[Schneider NLQ-401 Service Manual]], the DACH-region manuals for the Amstrad DMP3000, DMP4000 and NLQ 401. The DMP3000 manual carries a '''full electrical parts list'''; the DMP4000 manual gives the '''three fuse ratings''' (T5A, T3.15A, T1A); the NLQ-401 manual gives the carriage '''T-belt MM310-3.2''', which also drives the ribbon feed.

* '''[[:Category:Apple Programming Documentation]]''' &mdash; around 160 programming books, compiler manuals and language references. Three items in it do bear on hardware: '''[[MC68030 Enhanced 32 Bit Microprocessor Users Manul Second Edition 1989|Motorola's MC68030 User's Manual]]''' (the manufacturer's own pinout, V<sub>CC</sub>/GND pin assignments, maximum ratings and decoupling recommendation for the processor in the SE/30, IIci, IIfx, Classic II and LC III), '''[[Power PC Concepts Architecture Design 1994]]''' for the PowerPC, and '''[[HyperCard Users Guide 1987]]''', which is Apple's own. Twenty-five pages in that category '''embed a file that was never uploaded''' &mdash; see [[:Category:Pages with broken file links]].

Annotated there, and the repair-relevant ones are pulled out on [[Macintosh Repair Resources]].
* '''[[:Category:Commodore Books]]''' &mdash; sixty-nine third-party Commodore books, annotated. Four reach the hardware and are named on [[Commodore 64]]; '''[[The Anatomy of the 1541 Disk Drive]]''' is '''not''' one of them despite its title &mdash; it is a firmware book with no schematic, no parts list and no alignment procedure anywhere in its 340 pages.

Software and configuration, but two of its start-up checks are hardware: reseat memory and expansion cards for an unusual start-up sound, and replace the backup battery for a machine that will not start.
