I'm new at this. But i have always loved computers and electronics.
I want to join to learn more about everything. Repairing is my middle name.

[Loretto]

Hi guys, so finally I decided to join your forums. I found this place when I was looking for answers for repairing some TV sets, DVD recorders and other electronic equipments.

Hope to learn more about electronics here and improve my troubleshooting skills.

[Crafth Informática]

Hello all, I'm a technician on a company called Crafth IT (or Crafth Informática in portuguese) and we're from Brazil. We're starting to learn electronics maintenance on computers. I'm not saying any specific names because we're a team, sometimes Leo, sometimes Cris, sometimes Will... we'll be all accessing Badcaps and willing to provide any help (if we can arrange it anyhow... we're beginners)

So if there is any way we could help we'll be happy to know how. All we can do today is read bioses and change some... bad caps (pun unintended) haha. But we have access to a lot a of hardware (our company has more than 10 years, one of our technicians works on the field 20+ years) so we hope we could retribute Badcaps' info we'll be accessing at first.

Glad to be part of the forum, signed, Leo (or just, Crafth team).

Have a nice one, all.

I have a USB drive of 2GB. It worked before but then someone inserted it in his system and after that it is not shown in my PC. When I go to disk management, there it shows Disk 1 Removable (E) No Media. Then I searched the net and at last someone told me to run the "ChipGenius" software and then copy the controller part number from there and paste it in Google like this: download firmware TC58NC6687. I did so and many sites were there but no site contains this firmware. Then this site came but I didn't find it here too.

I own a loudspeaker design and manufacturing company and I'm rediscovering audio electronic repairs just when I'm about to turn 60! Seems to be a great site for newbies!

Hello. I'm completely new to repairs. I've only had the opportunity to repair iPhones and various simple devices. But now I'm getting into it. I want to be knowledgeable about this. My first complex repair was a sapphire nitro rx 470 4gb video card. After that I took up repairing other equipment... wish me luck <3
