Olá, pessoal! A paz a todos! 🙏

Meu nome é Alexandre, e é uma alegria poder fazer parte desse fórum com tanta gente experiente e disposta a ajudar.

Trabalho com manutenção e tecnologia há bastante tempo, desde a época dos computadores 486, com memórias EDO e placas ISA — bons tempos! 🧠💾
Sei que muitos aqui têm ainda mais estrada que eu, e é justamente isso que me anima: trocar experiências e continuar aprendendo com quem vive isso no dia a dia.

Atualmente, atuo principalmente com reparo de placas, gravação de BIOS, assistência técnica de celulares e manutenção geral de computadores e notebooks. Tenho familiaridade com programadores como o CH341A, uso de clip SOIC, extração de firmware e recuperação de placas travadas — inclusive agora mesmo estou lidando com uma MSI H61M-P21 (B3) com senha na BIOS que estou tentando desbloquear via gravação direta.

Sou curioso, persistente e sempre disposto a ajudar quando posso — e principalmente muito grato por fazer parte dessa comunidade. Fóruns como esse são preciosos pra quem está no campo de batalha tentando resolver as coisas na prática, e saber que não estamos sozinhos faz toda diferença.

Conte comigo no que puder ajudar.
Deus abençoe a todos! 🙌
Forte abraço!

Hi, nice to meet you all!

I created an account here because this forum has been very helpful in me fixing my Macbook Air M2 which just randomly died. I opened it up, found a bad capacitor and removed it, and the mac now works! Saved myself a huge repair bill.

I might have some follow up questions though, because I accidentally scratched the board in one place xD

Hi, I'm from Spain and I'm an electronics technician. I found this forum by searching for Boardview on Google. Greetings to everyone.

Grüße euch Technikverliebte. Mein altes Notebook ist kaputt, ich möchte es reparieren. Zum Glück bin ich auf diese Community gestoßen.

Hello everyone,
I work on computers with my hubby in North Idaho, and I'm after a schematic for a ThinkCentre board a customer spilled hot cocoa across. :P

Peace,
Casey

Hey everyone, glad to be here.

I've been into computers for as long as I can remember. What started with tinkering on old hand-me-down desktops eventually turned into a full-blown passion for custom builds and performance tuning.

These days, my main rig runs a Ryzen 9 7950X paired with an RTX 4080, mostly for gaming, multitasking, and some light creative work. I've shifted toward quieter builds lately — using Noctua fans, a Fractal Design case, and a fully modular PSU to keep things clean and silent.

For work, I rely on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 — lightweight, powerful, and built like a tank. I also keep a Steam Deck OLED for gaming on the go and some light Linux experimentation.

I've learned (sometimes the hard way) that specs are just one part of the experience — proper airflow, cable management, and component synergy matter just as much.

Looking forward to exchanging tips, builds, and experiences with the community. Let's geek out!

Hello im here to expand my knowledge about electronics

[tabflo]

Hi, Im new and looking for help to repair my laptop.

[jcayala]

Well, how are you doing? I'm a computer technician. I'm not an electronics technician, per se. But I learn and study everything I can about electronics to try to fix the more complicated issues in my clients' computers. I know the basics of electronics and, little by little, I'm learning the more sophisticated stuff. Reading data sheets, is a pleasure!

first I want to mention my old computer junk hanging out somewhere in the house. My first computer was a Philips P2000. This was a robust reliable machine and my exemplar was a limited edition with 512 Kb memory (64 was standard). I tried some assembler programming and that was YUK! I agree 100% with Topcat if it is about machine code or 3GL programming languages. My second computer was a Philips MSX-II. Played with Turbo Pascal, Basic, but still YUK… Switched from XT to Pentium 60 MHz, PIII 500 MHz and my actual computer a HP Pavilion t370. This computer is the only one so far that broke down (4 months), so I ended up here!
Programming was YUK, I found computers boring, so I got a Masters Degree in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, but no (paid) work available in Europe. I work nowadays as Oracle Software Engineer and that is NOT YUK! I enjoy my work as long I have regularly contact with customers and 4GL Case Tools are much nicer than 3GL tools
