          Came across the site looking up UPS issues and thought the expertise and help the posts got was quite impressive.

              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..

                          Hi everyone, my name is John and am a complete idiot regarding electronics. Joined the forum to get some help on a dead LG 42LN5200 tv. I also have a Imac that has graduated from a random sleep problem to deceased.

                            Hey all...

                            I have a Dell monitor that my Dad gave me that's only got about 3 years on it.

                            Well he passed away and since he gave it to me, it means as lot and I am on a quest to fix it.

                            I'm no expert but know enough to be dangerous...

                            Hope this site can lead me in the right direction!!

                            Thanks!

                              Good day to all

                              My name is dawrick and I EVERY new to forums and how they work so please bear with me please. I have always used badcaps.net over the years for a little general information on electronic repairs but only recently decided to join. I am so what of a novice and do mostly repairs for myself when I can.

                              Anyway hope everyone the best and hope we all learn from our experiences.
