Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, new here! I am still familiarizing myself with electronics. However, I have done many electronic repairs and pc builds for myself and others including cellphone and television repairs. I am not the best at diagnosing problems but I can usually figure out which part is bad by matter of deduction. I did register on this site to ask about a certain television repair that I am stumped on. I will post a topic when I am approved, Thanks!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello everybody,
My name is Paul, I live in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands near the German border but am a former Southern California resident. My technical knowledge is limited but my interest is great. Especially with regards to my hobbies. Once started with shortwave radio (Zenith Transoceanic, Drake SPR-4, etc) and since the early 80's very much involved in satellite reception, especially with regards to extreme reception possibilities. Such hobbies and of course the regular problems with computer hardware makes that this board will be of great importance to me. And who knows, perhaps I'll be able to answer some questions to members where it might involve things that I happened to encounter in my electronic past :-)

Hello from Ontario Canada,
I've been an electronics hobbyist since highschool and I try to fix anything that breaks down when possible. I have had mostly good luck when it comes to capacitors in electronic equipment but my luck turns when the capacitors turn out to be bad and haven't even bulged as was the case with the intermittent invertor board of a venture lcd tv dvd player combo I found in the trash at college residence : .

In addition to electronics I'm also an audiophile and have a nice record collection. Recapping also extends to this interest for me as well when I pick up used equipment with that ground hum.

I find this site to be a great wealth of information

Hello All

I am a product designer and electronic/computer tech enthusiast. I have experience in 3d cad, pcb design, programming for micros, mobile devices and websites. Repair is not such a strong suit though. I live in Brisbane Australia.

I'm not sure I will be able to help but need some help myself (yes that too)

Cheers

Hi I'm Chad Nd my board view of Apple 820-2179 isn't helping me bc it's a different project . I'm interested in all the schematics and BV files for this -C which I believe means revision C. I believe it's the M89 project. Thanks In advance.
