Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey everyone!

My name is Tobias. I live in the Netherlands and I guess I can call myself a jack of all trades too. I work in software, but I also have a passion for old cars (I have a 51 year old Peugeot 504, and a 37 year old BMW 735i E32). As a hobby I sometimes do projects with embedded software as well. I hope to one day learn how to design my own PCBs and get more involved with electronics repair.

Right now I'm trying to repair a TV that was given to me in unknown condition (Sony Bravia 49X8308C) with a mainboard extracted from a Sony X8005. It's the same mainboard but it has a different connector for the speakers but it can be easily worked around. The power board and backlight seem to work, Android boots up properly, but I can't seem get a picture even after reflashing the mainboard / pairing the TCOM a few times.

Hi everyone, my name is Dieter.
I work as an electronic engineer in a medium size company located in the north of Germany. I started playing around with microcontrollers since I was 16. I learned programming assembler on a TMS9980 CPU, and the moved to 8085, Z80 and 8086/88. Since that time, I prefer programming in C, C++ and C#. As electronics is also my hobby I replaced electrolytic capacitors in the power supplies of many devices already, including scopes, printers, and monitors.
Now I stared playing around with some notebook mainboards I received for training purposed. Most of them have a BIOS locked by a master password which is unknown. I came here with the hope that a wizard may help me to clean the BIOS and remove the password.
Best regards, Dieter

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I'm Max from Berlin. I'm in my sixties and I've been repairing radio and HiFi equipment as a hobby since nearly fifty years. This has developed into a collection of classic HiFi devices, especially Braun and Revox. Recently, my interest focused on vintage Apple computers, since I've been using MacIntosh computers since the early 90s and I found some of my old computers in the attic and I want to revive them. So, I'm glad having found this site. Hopefully, an old pony learns some new tricks.
Regards, Max
