Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,

New guy post.
Found this place via goggle search.
I have a Hannes-G HG281D 28" I'm looking to fix (I have other LCD's put up that I will probably get to eventually, pending the success of fixing this 28")
There is quite the lengthy thread on just this particular monitor here, I will be posting shortly.

I used to do solder touch up on Mackie Mixer boards back in the mid nineties in Woodinville WA. While I'm far from an expert, I guess it just translates to I'm not afraid to get my feet wet. Worse case, I have useless monitor, that is already useless.

Anyways, thanks for having me here

Hello,

Until now I only touched fairly simple electronics,
but now I'm searching to find the boot-problem on my motherboard,
a MSI 7519 P45Neo, I'm almost sure that the OST 680uF 4V are the cause.

Thanks for all the usefull information

My name is pattons. I live in Ohio. I have been in the electronic repair industry for over 40 yrs. I always love a challenge when it comes to a repair. My electronics education started from my dad back in the 50s/60s as he tinkered with TVs. I took correspondence courses from Cleveland Institute of Electronics while in 10th grade in H.S. After graduation, I went into the U.S. Air Force in electronics. After the service I have worked at various electronic companies. I think it is good to share information with others to make life easier.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Well, hello my name is Denwoo and I am very new (enough to be dangerous to myself) and joined because while searching for information it seems the threads here are far more informative. Far as my experience, 4 years military electrician 6 years civilian and lifelong tinkerer. I have been working on broken electronics as a hobby and service for friends and family as long as I can remember but never for profit. Thanks for having me and also in advance for any help I recieve.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

G'day everyone,
Thought I'd keep the intro authentic hence the g'day.
I'm Smithy and I'm from Australia. Found this forum via google search whilst searching for known faults with my Philips LCD TV.
Been a long time tinkerer, with limited knowledge of electronic circuits and how they work. But can say I'm quite confident and experience with a soldering iron etc, so I'm willing to have a go and save a few dollars.
Looking forward to feeding off the wealth of knowledge that exists in here.
Cheers!!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

My real name is Paul, been "into" electronics most of my life.

Started out as a TV/VCR service engineer back in the late 80's and qualified in the early 90's... then the bottom fell out of the market (nobody wanted to pay £150-200 for a loptx replacement or switched-mode PSU rebuild when they could replace the whole TV for not much more - no amount of telling them that the new TV wouldn't last anywhere near as long would persuade people).

Currently working in the security systems and fire detection industry as a service engineer but I keep my hand in with the component level stuff when I can

My name is Steve. I am in the process of going crazy. I decided that before I deteriorate to badly, I better replace all the bad caps on three of my four computers motherboards before I forget my name or get lost going down into my basement.

If you see a guy parked on the side of the road somewhere, just staring at a highway sign, its probably me trying to remember where North is and what the big black arrow underneath pointing that way, is trying to tell me?

FTD is not about getting flowers on your birthday from some stranger driving a truck.

Hello badcaps! My name is Doug, former engineer that jumped the fence to Sales quite a while ago. I Googled a problem I was having with a Samsung SyncMaster 225BW and found a thread on this site. $10 at DigiKey and an hour of dis-assembly, de-soldering and quite rusty, but sufficient soldering of new recommended components and reassembly, my monitor is like new!

Thank you. This is one of the most useful forums I've ever come across.
