New member here--was (and still am) electrically challenged. Put my nascent soldering skills to work trying to repair 2 AV123 MFW-15 subwoofer amps that have crapped out with bad capacitors--am continually learning so much about this! Hoping to glean more knowledge from folks here, thank you!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Just joined after searching around for info on bad caps..HA...funny i was just telling a client how most of the repairs i do these days is recapping.. Guess i should not spill the beans but i am as honest as i can be these days in a sea of duplicity (just being a rebel)
Anyway what a great forum for us techy junkies....Yes indeed bad caps!

I hope i can share my vast knowledge and background with all of you....

Cheers

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi I'm from Canada. I speak both english and french(badly). I have a Shuttle SB86i that I assembled for a friend that has bad caps. I had hoped to repair it, having had a father who was handy with a soldering iron and having a bit of experience with soldering back in the days when building a radio transmitter from a kit was considered fun. Well, I joined this forum and found out everything that I needed to know about how to remove capacitors and replace them, bought a bunch of new capacitors, got myself a test board, a good temperatue controlled soldering iron, dentist tools, desoldering bulb and braid only to find out that, at age 73, my visual accuity and steadiness of hand are a bit lacking to put it midly. I tried to contact repair services here at badcaps.net without result. Anyone who wants to try to recap this Shuttle SB86i board should contact me at cliff@acess.ca with costs and shipping instructions

Hi everybody, joined up today, pleased to be here.
I was asking for some advice on an Nvidia video card.
Previously, I had received email help concerning bad caps on
a Biostar motherboard.

I'm a computer tech, and learned to solder at a quite young age.

Hello, I'm here to find info on how to fix a dead Samsung 245B. I found it on the side of a road during a curbside collection. I'm in the middle of building a hackintosh and thought I could get by with a cheap/free monitor

Hi I'm Terry Varnado Sr living in Louisiana. Disabled Radio Telephone Tech Old School. FCC licensed in mid 80s and Computer repair on MainFrames and Old TRS80s. Loved it when Windows came out, no more loading programs. Most features are already there. Seems like as soon as I get used to the new it becomes old. Like ME 52YrOld. Thanks for letting me join. I have been coming back here for years looking for power supply info and such. BEST THING I HAVE LEARNED from here is most CAPS are desingned to last few thousand hours. I wouldn't make it as a design engineer, I want things to last.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Greetings. I am the Antman. I may have registered here before, at least I thought I had. One side effect of a thirty year IT habit is diminished capacity, but I cannot find a link at BadCaps for bio-forms.

I have referenced this site countless times. Today, I needed a resource that required a login. So, this might be an original install, or it may be a reflow.

So and thus ends my first (?) post.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all,

This is Jeff in Kentucky. I have been in and out of the electronics industry since the 80's. Every time I get laid off or burnt out from "real" jobs that pay steadily, I get back into some sort of consumer service. When I figure out the money just isn't right, I go back to something industrial. I've worked at tv shops, radio stations, service depots, manufacturers, etc. I love component level repair and improving on engineers' short-lived designs, but found better money doing industrial maintenance. I will never understand why it pays better to swap out a 10000 box than to actually fix the box...but it does. Go figure.
