Hello, My name is Guy and I'm a newb. Live in BC Canada and not really heavily into electronics but I am into RC planes and cars. Recently purchased a T12 soldering station and have a few questions and thought this might be a good place to ask. For a living I am a tool repair technician with some aircraft strucures background as well.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

looking for assistance with my Panasonic plasma troubleshooting. I have been in telecommunications a long time, trained in component level repair, but was reduced to a card "jockey", then switches became software, ho hum.
I figured I should dust off my skills to save my TV and my wallet.

Hi to all! I have some experience with old hardware from back in the early 90s with 286, 386 and so on. Now, just fixing (sometimes) and collecting them. However the Roland synthesizers are used by my son who's into learning various instruments, electronic and no-electronic, less on games.
Revived some old hardware, a ZX Spectrum clone, 8088 clone, fixing an old XT keyboard, recapping a graphics card... Just hobby stuff.

HI, I have been working with computers for 25 years now. I have 2 degrees as a programmer analyst but have since gotten into SMD repair. I have been troubleshooting computers in one way or another since I bought my first computer and will not stop. I also work with servers, switches, and other networking equipment. I do own a small computer repair and electronics recycling company.

Hello everyone. By searching some schematics I found this page. I'm working on repairing laptops for 10 years and I've found it very useful to be part of such a community.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread "clean" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said "w00t.. they have a forum"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

I am Shahryar. A mechanical engineer by profession. But I am interested in electronics so for my knowledge and fun, I am doing repair and experiments on several scrap laptops I buy here in the Dubai scrap market. I have very less to share but yes I am not totally dumb
ha ha ha
