Your article will be declined if the hardware is not documentable, violates copyright, or lacks proper technical verification.
- Hardware Documentation Requirements
- The hardware covered in an article must have verifiable technical specifications and repair documentation available through reliable technical sources. These include official service manuals, engineering documents, circuit schematics, component datasheets, and established technical websites with documented repair procedures. Forum posts, social media claims, video descriptions, or undocumented modification guides do not qualify as primary sources.
- Technical Accuracy
- Do not copy-paste technical specifications or reproduce copyrighted service manual content. Instead, summarize technical information in your own words while maintaining accuracy of critical specifications such as voltages, component values, and safety procedures.
- Source Verification
-
- Official service documentation and technical manuals are preferred over community-generated content.
- Manufacturer specifications, datasheets, and engineering documents can verify technical specifications and safety requirements.
- Personal blogs, unverified forum posts, and video tutorials are generally not acceptable as primary sources.
- To create a technical reference, use
<ref></ref> as follows:
The power supply outputs +5V and ±12V rails.<ref>{{cite manual |title=Service Manual |publisher=Apple Computer |year=1984 |pages=23-25}}</ref>
- Safety Documentation: All articles covering repair procedures must include appropriate safety warnings with verified sources. High-voltage equipment (CRTs, power supplies) requires specific safety protocols documented in official service materials.
- More details on technical citation standards can be found in our technical documentation guidelines.
