    A suggestion

    I believe this section could use a thread for us new people in which would be some general info.
    Most people land here in search for help repairing their LCD, and many have little or no experience, which leads to you guys having answer to similar Qs all the time.

    I say, make thread similar to this:

    If you are new in LCD repair field, but want to tackle job by yourself, bear in mind:
    -You HAVE TO HAVE at least multimeter (any working) and a basic soldering equipment;
    -You will most likely have to do measuring on plugged in (live) device, so YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHAT ARE YOU TOUCHING, both plugged in or out (capacitors hold electricity, that's their job);
    -Take care of where you lay down your boards. Always on insulators, otherwise you may shorten something out and do more damage;

    (...any other general guidelines you guys suggest.)
    When above is acknowledged, go ahead and ask your question.

    Then, you'd be able to just make a link to this thread, instead of having to explain it to each person individually.
    Finally, add a link to Bud Martin's "Basic LCD monitor troubleshooting guide"
    and any useful docs you may think of.

    (I may try and make this if you guys think it's useful.
    However, I'd prefer if someone with more xp does it.)

    If you think it's not needed, delete this thread and voila
    stay classy

    Re: A suggestion

    This sort of thing has been going on here all along. A new person is still going to have to do a search no matter how easy it is made for them. Most don't, they just ask first without trying to find things on their own. It's ok, it's just the way this sort of thing works and a new person to electronics isn't going to even know what to search for to begin with. That is one big reason this forum exists at all, to help people with electronics.
