Hello everyone,
My name is Wissem Kaafar, I'm from Tunisia, and I run a small computer repair shop called Azerty Lab. I specialize in diagnosing and fixing laptops, desktops, and electronics at board level. I’ve been in the field for several years and enjoy learning and helping others.

Looking forward to sharing and learning more with this great community!

[GrMisha]

Hi everyone! I ended up here by chance.
I used to do a lot of repairs on various devices and electronics, but in recent years it has become more of a hobby — something I do only occasionally now.
I'm from Ukraine! And we will defeat the damned enemy!

Hello I'm new and old at the same time.
New to the forum, old in years (50). Been an electronics engineer since 2001 and repairing all sorts of electronics since the late 90's. Mainly for fun, the challenge and learning something new.
Day job today is in industry automation, somewhat far from PC tinkering, yet in some sense very close.
Earlier (2007) I was a firmware engineer working with TV transmission equipment
Been fiddling with computers since the late 80's.
Reason for joining is a personal desire for learning how to remove bios passwords.
I'm in a somewhat fortunate position where the company I'm employed at, occasionally throws out older laptops (usually Dell's 3-5 years old).
I usually repair them for the challenge, and give them away to school kids, elderly, friends or coworkers that cant afford something like that.
Never taken a single penny/cent/dime in return. I just hate having something that useful ending up in a landfill before time. On top of that giving a laptop away to someone who really needs it, is an amazing feeling for both.
However lately the laptops have all been bios locked, so that is a problem.
Therefore I will now have to learn a new trick. I'm here to lean, and maybe get help to something I have never dabbled around in.
I hope I can succeed in this endeavor. Time will tell.

Any learning resources would be mush appreciated.

[Benthedev]

Hi software dev here, mostly government contracted work on stuff I can't really talk about much. Lately I've been doing some freelancing for a client, working on AR stuff and AI 3D reconstruction as well.

Found this board because my dell is currently admin locked and need help unlocking.

[Mikamatic]

Hi everyone! Mikamatic here!

Long time lurker but only recently registered for an account!

I'm an electronics engineer by trade and have been repairing electronics for well over 20 years, recently got into more surface mount stuff through work which has given me a major skills boost!

My projects mainly rely on either old PC parts or photography, actually just finished re-capping a socket 370 board!

Hope you get to know other people too
