    Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

    Hi there!

    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 guys,

      I am tinkering with my lenovo ideapad 5 15alc05 for a few days by now and I hope, that there is somebody in this forum, who can help me with it. I am a student in computer science in Germany right now, so i thought that i should be capable of doing some bios flashing actions

                Hello, I'm a student with not really big experience in repairing/engineering, for about 2 years and 4 years. Hope to get some knowledge about certain electronics, and, well, about repairing in general, because how only one little talk with a professional showed me, there's a lot for me to know before I can even open a lid of a laptop without killing it (only if that was a little joke of mine...)

                            Hello Everyone!

                            I found this forum when trying to figure out if I could revive my LG 55E8 ( probably not; seems to need the LED strips replaced, which is beyond my patience level ).

                            Seems like a great community!
