Hi all... I'm Ben, an old fart, from what is known as the Eastern Shore of Virginia, part of the Delmarva peninsula...
I'm sort of a jack-of-all-trades, ace of none type... I have done mechanic work, everything from lawn mowers to tractor trailers... Also worked in the electrical trade; home, commercial, and industrial... Also construction, mostly custom homes doing everything from pouring the footer to handing over the keys...
I've been interested in electronics since my teens playing with sound systems and guitar amps... Now it's computers... These systems run Windows or FreeBSD mainly for media streaming my DVD collection with Plex Media Server and network services/management of my local LAN, which brings me here looking for replacement capacitor information for my older systems...

Hi, being relatively new to computer component level repair I find this forum extraordinarily useful. Up until now, I didn't really need to post, but an uncommon defect somehow found a way into a lovely ThinkPad I bought used, so I'm hoping to find some help here

Well I live in Australia and have been into electronics since I was about 12 now I'm 68! I have a background in electronic design and PCB layout. Know enough programming to get myself into trouble.
I got here because I needed a very cheap used notebook to run a laser cutter and of course it doesn't work....

Hello All,
I'm Greg.
I discovered your forum as I'm searching the web for a way to get my 2018 HP Pavilion back to life. I was updating the BIOS from an external USB with Win key + B and the power went off :-(. Since I could not revive it. I hope to find a solution here. Have a good one, Greg

Hi I'm thebaddest and my passion for electronics started when I frequently visited a Hi-Fi store when I was around 17 years old although I absolutely didn't have a clue at that time.
I only knew that a JM Lab Mini Utopia paired with a sub blew my mind and couple of years later I went to university to study computer electronics, silly me! I should have studied electrical engineering.
I mean alot of the other stuff like coding VHDL and CPU architectures were very appealing to me too but I came back to develop electronic systems incoorporating analogue audio interfaces(MIC, HP and Line) and a DSP.
At least that's what my current job is about, developing PCB's, repairs and small scale volume production.
I think that's enough and I hope that I can have some good conversations here.
