    Thank you


    Just a quick THANKS to this site for saving my fathers computer. Being retired and on a fixed income, he did not want to have to purcahse a new computer. After some searching online for the solution to his BSOD I came upon this site. I ordered a set of 1800mfd@6.3v and replaced them on the MB. I was now finally able to reinstall his OS and get things running again. Again, THANK YOU. I don't repair MB's often but I now know what to look for when I do have interesting problems.

          Sharp LC80UH30U Vertical Band
          by AJ2021
          Hi all,

          I just moved to a new apartment and now I got a vertical band on my tv. The band is changing colors all the time. Is there a fix for this? If someone has had the same problem and fixed it I would really appreciate the help as I am retired and on a fixed income and cannot afford a new tv.

          I can change any boards and bad caps but I'm not good with a volt meter.

          Thank you very much for any assistance....

          Kenwood KR-6030 vintage stereo ,Old Man Trying to Save a Buck
          by DrDos
          Hello all. I'll try to keep this short. I have no knowledge of electronics. I can use a multimeter and am familiar with caps to some extent. I bought a Kenwood KR-6030 vintage stereo. It need work and so I thought I would recap the thing since I get power to the on switch but nothing else is working. No lights, no sound and so forth. I went to Mouser to order caps and I find I am way over my head. I not only do not know the type of capacitors I need but Mouser and digikey do not accept Kenwood part numbers. I have the info such as 220uF 63v and such but no place to put it. I could buy a recap...

          Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
          by DrewPhillips
          Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

          The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

          1980s Holz Her 2420 belt sander - Only works when speed control at maximum
          by Babbar
          My fathers belt sander from the 80s which i very much would like to continue using has an issue with the speed control. The machine works fine on maximum speed but will not turn or give any sign of life when on any other setting. The speed control is a dial going from 1-6 although implemented as a potentiometer without distinct steps. I took the machine apart and measured each component individually, all components and measurements have been captioned in the attached pictures. The Triac did not get identified correctly using my cheapo component tester, i don't know if this is user error, if the...

          Hi, All

          I'm a retired Software Engineer and SQL database specialist.

          Taking a recent interest in board repair to try to fix my son's laptop, and because of all the interesting YouTube videos on the subject.

          I hope to learn a lot by reading here and to get some help on my current project.

          Look forward to getting to know you all.

          Phil
