Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello Everyone! My name is Armando, I'm fairly new to all this, but I am here to soak up information. I was a personal trainer by trade but due to COVID my hobby became my only source of income.I have now built 13 custom workstations and I am maintaining 4 customers. Things like this forum are the reason I am able to eat, so I am very greatful. A year ago I knew nothing, today I'm doing component level repairs, and the best part is it doesn't feel like work.I should have switched careers to it a long time ago

Hi guys, just decided to join your lovely forums. I found this place when I was searching help for replacing a hot and bad IC SY8208 on a motherboard.

Hope to have some fun here as well as learn more about computer electronics and sharpen my electronics skills.

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..

Hi,
I found this site when looking for capacitor information.
I'm mainly interested in audio and diy audio including turntables, DACs, preamps, power amps and speakers.
I appreciate the opportunity to join this forum and though I came here to seek information and advice on a specific topic I also hope that I may be able to contribute something meaningful for the benefit of others one day.

Good day to you all.... My name is Scott, live in Dunedin FL and I am not well versed in your area of expertise. I can solder and use to build pc's eons ago, but I'm a noob to this. It is absolutely amazing the type of character you have to be to know what you guys know.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone,
I found this post while searching for technical advice to determine if my Samsung 50" plasma is worth repairing (via replacing boards). It's developed the classic horizontal black lines which even covers the menu "dialogs". I still don't know how to determine if it's a plasma panel ($$$) or just a y-buffer & y-sustain problem ($). Not a lot of concise advise on the net.
As for me, I'm a total computer geek and DIY cult follower. I have certifications in the following areas: cyber security, Oracle & SQL-Server DBA, Web Dev, Network+. Well versed in Windows/Unix/Linux and programming (C#, C++, Java, Angular, Python). I love to get my hands dirty in anything electrical (electronics or house), plumbing, automotive (recently replaced a timing belt/water pump/motor mount in '17 Odyssey), HVAC, ... DIY is one of the good cults to belong to.
I won't give my exact age, but I will confess once being a COBOL programmer (big financial Co.) and I have a friend who currently programs in COBOL as their primary source of income.
From what I've seen from reading in this forum for only 30 minutes, I'm going to be very happy that I found it.
