Hello everyone, I'm Nathan, I'm 21, and I'm in the US Navy. I found this site while looking for tips on repairing a flickering Westinghouse 24" monitor. I have extensive training and experience in component level repair thanks to the Navy so hopefully I'll be of some use here.

Hey everybody!

I'm twenty-two, military, from the United States. Wife, no children. Now that the boring stuff is out of the way...

I'm haven't a degree or even any certifications yet, but I've been working on computers for a good fifteen years, and just started with component-level electronics a bit over a year ago. Since then I've learned a lot, but still need a place to bug people with questions. This forum has given me a lot (along with diyaudio.com), and I thought I'd join so I could ask something time-constraining and contribute what I can, when I can.

All in all, good to be here!

Hallo,

I'm Peter from the Netherlands. I was searching some info too a problem i have with my samsung 226BW and found some here. Thanx.

I "play" with computers since the Philips Videopac G7000 (1978). I still have it :-) Then the C64 (with tapedeck) and then the Amiga 500 with later on a 30MB harddisk a KCS dos card and 2 gig memory (very expensive). While working on pc's with 286, 386 etc processort with 5.25 disks en 10MB Borsu disks I started privatly with a pc with a pentium 2 266. There i said goodbye to the Amiga (snif). Now i'm just an regular user who builds his own pc's. In my profession i'm recently a (software / business) tester.

That's more then enough info. But i liked to tell about my old computers :-)

I am also new here and someone had pointed me to this forum since I have a capacitor problem with my Mitsubishi WD-72625 DLP tv.

My problem is im not sure which capacitors I should get to replace them. My understanding is there are 7 that are supposed to be replaced and I havent been able to find any info on the exact capacitors. I have read some are going up to a higher heat range. Does anyone know anything about these?

Hello everyone...I'm from North Dakota, been with the US Air Force for 30 years now. Married and the kids have all moved on. Enjoying the one grandson so far. Came upon thin forum while looking to fix my 19"Polaroid TLA-01911C.
Reading some posts there appears to be a lot of knowledge out there. I think I'll have no problem getting some help. Don't know how much I can help others though unless you have an automotive related problem.
