Greetings. I have an Amstrad PC5286 and it has the power supply broken. Because I couldn't fix it, I decided to make a new power supply with some parts of the old one (chasis, wires, etc).
Now the problem is that there aren't power voltage references. I have looked for a service manual but I couldn't find it. The power supply has two connectors to mainboard:

I suppose the big connector has the following voltages: +5,+5, Ground, ground +12. I took a risk putting negative voltages in the little white ribbon (don't kill me, please :P )[/size][size=78%].

Ikesankom,
Have you looked on google for PC power supply arrangements?

Hello. I've looking for manual services and found many about Amstrad 1512 and similars, but not about this computer.
I've asked in lots of websites, forums and anybody can't help me. Even there are some in archive.org (there is many free info about CPC).
About power supply wires, I'm more focused on the little connector. It looks like a pre-standard and proprietary system. The mobo doesn't show any voltage or i/o input information.
I haven't found anything yet. :'(
edit: sorry, I've read PCW8256
