Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello everyone I am extremely new to all of this. I've always tinkered around and was curious of how things worked and how to get around certain obstacle. I too had a Commodore-64 when i was a little kid. I'll never forget the wonderful noises it made for just about anything. I really got started in the cellular device repair and other aspects of that industry but would like to broaden my horizons as my curiosity grows. Hopefully I find some good info on here that will help me along my journey of knowledge.

Hi everyone, not really technical at this level but my dad used to work repairing electronics long ago so from time to time when something breaks, he might still be able to repair it, just looking for info on some newer electronics.

Hi
I've used this great resource for bios files and boardvievs before, but now I'm actually looking to ask for advice on getting all voltages on an RTX 2070 super.

Thanks for making all these boardviews and info so easily accessible

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..

Hello, I am new to this forum. first of all, thank you for letting me join. I am a newbie Computer Tech.
