Hello

[Kum_RS]

Hello everyone,

My name is Vanja, I live in Augsburg, and I work as a service technician – electrician. I have experience in mechatronics and working with electronics. I use an HP EliteBook 8770w, and I have an XGecu T56 programmer, along with many other useful tools.

I come from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I have been living in Germany since 2019. I joined this forum to exchange experiences about electronics, repairs, BIOS flashing, and other technical topics.

I look forward to discussions and meeting new people!

Best regards, everyone!

hello, my name is Ivan I am from Spain and I work as an electrotechnician in a food company. My story is simple, a family with few resources which causes you to have to repair what you cannot replace. I am self-taught although I always help myself with forums and tutorials

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..

Hi. I am Michael from the UK. I found this forum when looking for information about reading and writing bios files. We have some dell laptops at work that have a admin password. I am ok at soldering and would love to learn more about board repair and hopefully help other with the knowledge I learn.

Hey guys !

Just a french dude here that likes electronic and repairing old and broken motherboard/GPU.

Currently trying to learn how to flash a bios in order to maybe save the legion 5 pro of my uncle.

I hope for some great savior that could help me fix my bios, if its broken !
