Hello everyone!
Been working in IT for 15+ years but always on the software side of things.
I registered in the forum in order to fix a pesky Dell XPS laptop that decided to fail during a BIOS update

Hello,

I run an independent workshop in Hungary specializing in the repair, restoration, and technically sound upgrading of both vintage and modern musical instruments and studio equipment. In addition to synthesizers, drum machines, and professional outboard gear, I regularly work on retro computers.

My approach is strictly measurement-driven and diagnostics-focused. Typical cases include linear and switch-mode power supplies, aging electrolytic capacitors, noise-related issues, stability problems, and thermally induced faults. Every repair is verified instrumentally, like FFT-based spectral analysis, noise and distortion measurements, ripple analysis, oscilloscope verification, ESR and frequency-dependent capacitance measurements, as well as semiconductor characteristic testing, etc. In audio equipment, I place particular emphasis on long-term testing and behavior under real operating load conditions, not only under fresh bench conditions.

I joined the forum to exchange hands-on repair experience and compare notes with others who deal with similar hardware.

All the best,
Kornél / Vintage Works

Bonjour à toute la communauté !

Me voilà en quête d'informations sur divers sujet, et en ce moment ce sera pour un souci de bios verrouillé, alors pour me présenter rapidement je suis né et réside en France, ancien assembleur informatique puis technicien en petit et gros électroménager pour les particuliers et par évolution dédié uniquement aux professionnels de la restauration, à ce jour je suis désormais technicien en laboratoire sécurité incendie.

Voilà en espérant continuer à partager et à apprendre parmi vous.

Cordialement.
