Greetings from Manchester, England... One day I will successfully repair something!

rodtoo401 · 01-18-2018, 08:09 PM

Just joined I hope I`m able to learn as I have been playing around with computers starting in 1999 . I want to learn as I`m always learning. I know sounds corny, If you try, you can learn something everyday.

I started small, on repairs.
I got a DOD Grunge pedal for free.
It didn't work. I found a shorted 1N4001 diode and a fried trace.
I replaced the diode and replaced the trace with a wire.
It works. I'm mostly happy. Its reputed to be a noisy pedal, so I wasn't surprised that it IS a noisy pedal. There are mods I can do to it, to make it better.
For now, I use my noise gate with it.
Small victories are still victories.

Hello BadCaps!
I'm a hopeless hacker, a friend of mine said "why buy it when you can make it?" Some would say ... Stupid! But not so! Making and fixing leads to innovation.
My repair adventure is with a Samsung PN60E530A3F given to m me, - no sound no picture, power on and the Samsung startup melody sounds and the red light in the lower right flashes with each command.

My name is Chop, I am 28, and I am currently in school for Automation and Electronics Technology. I enjoy learning about how things work and fixing them (or at least attempting to) if they are broken. Nice to meet all...

hi
I'm OM from india. a tech savvy since birth. I like modding things,reverse engineering and software programming. learning about new things is my hobby and right now i'm trying to learn about rectifing electronic gadgets so as to make myself self dependent for any electronic repairs which i frequently come across operating my gadgets

danielh · 01-20-2018, 12:15 PM

Hi,
My name is Daniel and I have been playing with electronics since I was a child, and I'm 38 now. I really got into computers when my mom got our first Compaq Presario in the late 90's. We had so much trouble with that computer, that I stayed on the phone with tech support and that's how I learned everything that I know today. I love tinkering with electronics and learning new things.

marsim · 01-20-2018, 01:41 PM

Hi everyone. I run a small computer repair business and have just gotten into board level repairs. I look forward to learning lots of things from all of you.

Cheers!

Hello all,
