The Acorn A5000 Module Level Service Manual (Issue 1, November 1991) is Acorn's dealer service manual for the Acorn Archimedes A5000. The A5000 board is surface-mount, so Acorn documented it at module level: the manual covers fault diagnosis of a 'dead' computer, the A5000 functional test suite (memory, battery-backed RAM, IDE, ports, disc, real-time, audio, video, keyboard/mouse), the PSU-fail procedure, disassembly, and the earth-continuity and DC-insulation safety tests. It is a primary reference for the Acorn A5000 Maintenance Guide, Acorn A5000 Troubleshooting Guide and Acorn A5000 Capacitor Guide.
