    Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

    I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

    A little about me?!?

    HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

    Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

    A little inside info?!?
    Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

    Anyhow,
    Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:
    Hello everybody,
    I was forgotten that I started an account on this forum. My last visit was september 2013, and now I'm ready to use it for real, because I learned a lot more in those years
    Greetings to all of you.............

      Hello everybody!
      I've got a problem with my plasma TV. I have read some informations on this Forum, but I haven't found a similar problem to my, so I decided to start a new topic in Troubleshooting TV subforum (if I can post new threads).
      Greetings to all of you.

      PS. Sorry for my bad english.

        Hi my name is Marty,

        I'm an Electrical Engineer in Canada. I have been repairing electronics for my friends and family since I was about 10.

        I just hate the way a 2c part can render a multi-thousand dollar device junk so I always try to fix things before recycling them.

        First computers in order: Texas TI99/4A, Camputers Lynx, Sanyo MPC-100 (still works!).
        First repair - Uncles Cassette Tape deck when I was 10.
        Most satisfying repair: Cousin's tube TV when I was 14 which had only a horizontal line. Fix was to replace three transistors!

        Most common repair - PSU caps on flat panel monitors

        Cheers!

          Hi my name is Wayne,

          I am a complete newbie, and would like to start understanding electronics better.

          I have stumbled upon this forum seeking help and advice on my fridge wrf40 electronic repair. I found a post with someone who had the same issue and has resolved it.

          Here's to hopefully getting a better understanding of electronics and try my best not to let that magic black smoke escape necessarily.

          Regards,

            Hello. I joined this forum hoping to learn a bit about fixing my TV.
            Otherwise I know nothing of electronics, very little about computers but I'm not afraid to learn new stuff.
            Oh, by the way I'm a retired architect, 73 years young.
            Hope to learn a lot from all you guys.

                Hello From Delaware! I found the site while researching for information on TV repair. My buddy runs a Home Entertainment Business and does high end installs where he is always bringing home TV's with issues that potentially can be repaired fairly easy. I am now beginning to repair them as he gets them. This is an entirely new world to me and it is becoming very enjoyable as I learn.

                            Hi thanks welcome me in this forum.

                            My name is firdiansyah, I'm 41, my formal education that never come true or by another words is DO (drop out) for cost reason it was electrical. after that, I worked a as technician for mechanic (genset) control system and build control system panel too, sometimes I joined into NDT (Non destructive test) for welding and repairing all electronic devices.

                            so in short might be I'm here feeding my brain off electronic knowledge and technically repairing electronic devices

                              Всем добра и качественной техники!
                              Меня зовут Александр и мне иногда кажется что я немного мазахист,так как за 30 лет меня столько раз било эл.током что просто не счесть и тем не менее я все так же каждую свободную минутку спешу уделить своему любимому занятию и всякого рода ремонтам электро-техники .Абсолютно все что попадает ко мне в квартиру (ставшую со временем больше похоже на мастерскую) в неисправном а иногда совсем "мертвом" виде рано или поздно сдается с моего нежелания отступать пусть даже иной раз не с 3-4 подхода:камень:
                              Лет с 12 жутко тянуло ко всему что можно разобрать и особенно если это работает от электричества. Первый паяльник мне тогда заменяли гвоздь и газовая плита. Со временем приобрел многое из необходимого инструмента и неплохо освоил физику ремонта,но вот с теорией и особенно чтением схем всегда было не просто. Надеюсь в окружении опытных мастеров и специалистов все же развиваться во всем что так любо и интересно,хоть и не всегда понятно. Постараюсь особо не докучать своей необразованостью ,а сжав в руках паяльник и учебную литературу побеждать недобросовестных производителей всякого рода аппаратуры и техники!

                                Hi all. My name is Antony, From Kenya.
                                I and my friend have a repair shop here.
                                Am looking for a way to advance my skills, through this forum.

                                This forum is full of info and also repair issues and how to solve them
                                " Bad Caps"" does it mean a bad capacitor... if it does... it is a such creative name.

                                i also create custom Home alarm system as my part time job.
