                  Greetings Everyone.

                  My name is Matt from Athens GA. I am fumbling my way through the world of microelectronics. I recently began trying my hand at TV repair, and found this forum to very useful. I look forward to growing my knowledge and helping others.

                  Thanks

                    I'm Allan from Petaluma, CA, working on all manner of strange projects here and there. I'm currently working on a Raspberry Pi to NES circuit to play back TASVideos on real hardware, repairing a random LCD TV that I stumbled on, and other crazy things. I might have useful insights here and there that are worth sharing. I hope.

                        Hello! I am a new member found your forum while trying to repair an older lcd monitor and was successful thanks to info about a resistor that is a known failure point. I am a software guy (possibly soon working at XBOX at the MS campus) with some circuit experience and an EE minor years ago. So I know enough to be dangerous. I don't have all the proper tools but I know my way around a multimeter. I'm posting here in hopes that I can then open a new thread about my current motherboard power input failure on an ASUS G71Gx republic of gamers machine that I would hate to lose - it works from battery so I know it's the power circuit. Anyway, if posting here let's me start a thread I will do that and proceed with details and questions. Thanks in advance!

                                          Hello BadCaps.net and members....

                                          I'm a technical guy by profession, but mechanical not electronics. I work in the motorcycle industry, and have for 42 years now!! Anyway, in today's world the good motorcycle tech needs to have good electrical skills, too.!

                                          I built a Heatkit TV in 1973....it even had "Digital" tuning instead of a rotary dial.

                                          My first computer was an Apple 2e with dual 5 1/4 inch floppy drives and the 80kb extended memory card!!! I was high tech.

                                          Anyway, I have rudimentary skills when it comes to electrical circuits, and a basic understanding of the electronic components in TVs, computers and such....enough to not be scared to dive in, but usually not enough to actually fix anything more than the obvious.

                                          So my 5 year old big screen plasma TV took a dive the other day, and just for grins I decided to Google the symptoms and see where it led me (Google is your friend!! )....and it led me here!!! So much good information and helpful people with skills and knowledge far beyond mine.

                                          So I tore off the back of the TV, looked around and saw a capacitor that looked "funny"...replaced it ....but no love.

                                          Well, Now I've registered and introduced myself. I'm ready to post questions and seek guidance. I already replaced the TV, but won't it be nice to have another one I can use in my "Man Cave" (whenever that mystical place actually comes into being).??

                                          Looking forward to expanding my working knowledge and experience...and thanks in advance!
                                          Wonder what this thingy on the circuit board does??
