Hello! Elated to have found this forum. You can thank (or curse) my arrival here due to a locked BIOS on a ThinkPad T480. (Which my aim is to unlock!)😁

Hello, I'm just a hobbyist who happens to be "the repair guy" among my friends. I'm 20 y/o and out of school, most of my tech knowledge comes from learning and tinkering on my own time.Comment

Hello, I'm just a hobbyist who happens to be "the repair guy" among my friends. I'm 20 y/o and out of school, most of my tech knowledge comes from learning and tinkering on my own time. Just stumbled upon the forum while looking for a board schematic for my friend's laptop that I need to run a multimeter on.Comment

s this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?
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.Comment

Hello everyone,
I’m new here. I joined because I’m very interested in learning more about motherboard and BIOS troubleshooting, both for laptops and PCs.
I’m looking forward to reading the discussions here and hopefully learning from all of you. Thank you for having me!
Best regards,
GM

Hi y'all
I'm Mat , french expert dabbler , i fix stuff and occasionnaly it work afterward....
I have a company for fixing electronics , my "expertise" is mainly focus on sound amplifier, mostly vintage and high end ( as it usually not worth the time fixing modern cheap stuff )
I used to be an IT guy , window and cisco certified (20 years ago ) and done many different thing in between
I've found this forum very useful many times and now i may need help too , i got an old company stock of cf-19 notebook , all bios locked so i'm aiming to unlock and fix them
So i thought its time to register and maybe donate few euro to keep this forum alive !Comment
