Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello!
I am a web developer and IT is also part of my work. I have been involved in electronics, computers and the internet for over 15 years. I am old school and I like to get maximum life out of my equipment. I buy quality and make it last. I have a Dell Precision 490 that developed some issues a few months ago and found out it was bad caps on the motherboard. That is what initially brought me here. I am researching different brands of capacitors for future projects!
Thanks!

My name is Juan Pedro and I´m from Madrid, Spain and I only speak little english, so i´m sorry for that, i´m 35 years old and any technician formation at all but i love to learn reading and looking for information in the net. I´m trying to learn to repair tvs so here i am.

I am saying Hello in this thread as instructed so that I may post a question.

Thanks,

Traci

As 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.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

Hello,

My name is John. My baptism into electronics was in high school during the early 1970's.

Served over thirty years in the US Air Force. Now the US service manager for a world wide industrial electronics company. I found your excellent resource when my four year old Panasonic TC-P50GT30 50" plasma honored me with the 7 blinking lights of death. No one sells the SC or SD/SU boards. Can't believe that Panasonic doesn't stand by their product for a minium of 5 years.

Thanks for offering a great service to professonals and novices alike.

John
