Anyone have a repair manual for an A4000
« on: July 11, 2006, 12:08:40 AM »
Hello all:

Can someone send me a copy of an A4000 repair manual in PDF?

I need to look at a few things on this unit I just acquired.


Thanks,

Mike

Also it will need parts galore... so if you have odds an ends for a A4000 (case parts too) for a Rev B Mainboard, please PMAIL me separately on those.

Thanks,

Mike

@migaMan

Thanks though the schematics are nice, they will not really be helpful in what I am looking for.  I appreciate your help nonetheless.  :-)

EDIT:

@Everyone

Specifically, I could use an idea of what parts I need on the case and how the connectors go on the mainboard.   I am referring to the three 3-pin connectors that connect to the front of the case marked key (CN200), PWR (CN303), and DISK (CN302)... I know they go to the keylock, Powerled and Disk LED on the front panel (which btw is missing the 2 LEDS) but the question is does the > indicate that pin 1 is on that side of the connector?

Example (please excuse art ;-)):

CN200 0 0 0 > KEY

where the 0 0 0 would be the connector of course.

Thanks.

@Argus

Thanks for the info. :-)


@Everyone

There are so many parts missing from this thing, but I hope to be able to find enough parts to test the mainboards anyhow :-)

warp engine would be great

@argus

Yes I would need a CPU card to test the machine at least.  Have the Power Supply which we tested under load and all connectors show the proper voltage.  The thing is, if both boards work, I will want to build the A4000 all the way back up :-)

EDIT:  The only parts I have right now are a shell of a case with a front panel.  The power switch/rod is missing, the drive towers are missing, any support in the case is missing... it is literally just two mainboards (one in the case and one not installed) and the shell and Power Supply.


@everyone

If you have any of these parts, please do PMAIL me.  Also remember that donations to TEO in the form of hardware or software are accepted, we are trying to start up the company still.


EDIT:  I could also use the drive cover that covers the bottom drive of the A4000 (second floppy area)... wish there was a blow up someplace of the case so I could possibly see what parts I need.  Information is welcome.

Been doing some thinking on this, and this case is so in need of parts (based on pictures I have been looking at) that I probably could just use to get one or two dead A4000s with complete cases or at least complete cases from a couple of A4000's :-)  If anyone can help here... it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
