                            Just joined the forum. I've been working with computers for the best part of 20 years. I have limited electronics experience over that time though as most of the time we take the easy way out and swap an entire board rather than component level repairs. I would like to understand the troubleshooting process for repairing TV's mainly as I have recently had 2 just give up the ghost and they weren't economically viable to pay for a repair.

                                Good morning everyone!

                                  Well i am a retired peace officer and i love tinkering around with electronics.

                                  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..

                                        Came across a couple of threads while I was searching the net trying to find a fix for my Panasonic Plasma. I can't believe that a site like this exists. I'm very amazed at the wealth of knowledge that's on here. I'm totally blown away. I'm happy to be apart of this community.
