Welcome
Tell us what is wrong (Not working), Pictures, voltages etc
Also have a look on the forum for others that have had Faulty units an how they went about fixing it.


Good  Luck    Ray

Hi Chris


Please unplug the cassette player First.


Please check the Voltages that you are using that feed to the amstrad (Unloaded and then if within reason Loaded)
Loaded voltages should be +5 Volts (Tip) and - (MiINUS)12 Volts (tip)  Oops 464 Not 6128.
Good luck   Ray
