Introduction

Hi everyone.I'm new here Joined as I have a PC I would like to repair along with some other electronic devices that require desoldering and soldering.As I am disabled I am at home pretty much all the time so the time involved in diagnosing and fixing these things is really not an issue for me.
Have learned a lot be reviewing posts and look forward to getting help in repairing these devices.

New member here. Ran across this site when I was doing some research. I am actually a Network Engineer by profession but I have been breaking open my toys since I was a young kid to see how they worked. Stumbled across a nice HDTV with a bad capacitor issue and a fever has kicked in for me to learn more about electronics and how to troubleshoot them. I figure if I only open already broken devices, I can not get into too much trouble.

Hi everyone, I like to take things apart and figure out how they work, and I have this odd idea that I can fix a computer monitor.... well maybe with your help. I've sometimes fixed computers, sometimes not. In can definitely fix sewing machines. It's a process. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Work as a paralegal, 55 year old single mom.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

A quick hello from Colorado.
Mostly I am a computer tech, but sometimes I get asked to perform specialty work. I'm OK with a solder iron and I love playing with electronics. I have built 2 photo booths and started a photo booth company with them and help a buddy with his oxygen/internet kiosks. He just gave me a "broken" Samsung LN-S4041D. I have it open and am trying to figure out the issues. Looks like it is the 4 1000uf capacitors.
Thanks for a great forum.

Real name is Lew but I couldn't use that back in 95 when I had AOL and it's the only nym I use.

Hi guys the names Kevin from Northern Ireland.

Just here to get some help with a motherboard issue I'm having.

Was in tech support for a while, fairly experienced with general troubleshooting etc, unfortunely nothing that would help me fix this problem. Which of course is what brings me here.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all,
Seems like it has been a good sight. New to electronics but learn quick with pictures. Education has been self learned so the internet has been a step up from the library. Love the Do-It-Your self method I have done home wiring, pluming, appliance repair, lock smith, and building things i.e outside wood boiler, at this time i am building a log splitter, just finished up opening a Mosler safe. I do not spell very good but as stated it is not my fault the computer misspells it.I woke as a correctional officer at a state prison ( Guard ). I have six kids and loving wife going on 24 yrs(computer tech). My hobbies are fishing and honeybees. i also like messing with tv repair.The aggrevasion at work is they wont test they just replace inter units. It's good for me though i get it for dirt cheap. Thanks to all for future help and advice.

sincerely,
Gary
