Hi, I am maggie. I'm a robotic engineer by trade who does a little coding, and has started getting more into component repair. I keep ending up with old/damaged equipment from friends and family (yeah, I'm 'that guy' in my circle), and I'm going to start fixing it all. I figure this is a great place to be to learn. Nice to meet you all!

A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:

🙏 I am thrilled to be able to learn from others who so freely share their knowledge and assistance. Thank You, SS

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone. I'm 48 and live in Watertown, NY. I'm a musician and have tinkered with guitar gear for over 30 years. I have no formal training in any of this but I want to learn as much as I can to make repairs on my gear. I hope to enroll in some training program soon to learn some basic electronics. If anyone has any suggestions for in person or online training, please let me know.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Right now I'm trying to repair a Gateway Solo 1450 and a Toshiba C350 laptop and I first found about about this site while trying to find out how to update the BIOS on the C350. I'm not really that technical, though I hope to be, I have a PC with an RTX 2060 and a Ryzen 7 3700X but my brother did most of the work. I have taken apart the Gateway a lot and the Toshiba is certainly more of a software project as there's what I think is a corrupted version of Windows Vista on it and as I said I'm hoping that updatiing the BIOS and repairing the install from there might be helpful. Anyway I had fun learning about these forums and looking at some of the early internet nostalgia on this thread and hope to fix some of my issues through this forum
