Though I'm just starting out, I'm passionate about technology and determined to grow my skills.

I'm here to connect with experts, share experiences, and absorb as much knowledge as possible. If anyone has any beginner tips or resources, I'd greatly appreciate them!

Looking forward to being a part of this community and contributing in any way I can!

Baf :-P Hi guys, to keep myself from getting bored, I dig into everything and when I don't know what to do, I look for help and I know what it's like not knowing where to go. I have some experience with hardware and software, but my own memory is bothering me a little, so I have to keep reminding myself. Thanks for the welcome.

Hello all,

I have always been interested in repairing electronics, and now am trying to move into actually designing them. I am an EE currently working with one of the larger semiconductor companies that y'all have likely heard of. I may design things for them, but my impostor syndrome kicks in when doing things for myself. I hope to join y'all and learn more.

Best,
Vikkypotnick.

P.S.: I am glad this is NOT a discord thread

¡Hola a todos! 👋

Soy Eduardo, un entusiasta de la tecnología apasionado por la reparación de productos electrónicos. Me encanta sumergirme en los desafíos de hardware, especialmente cuando se trata de la recuperación y programación del BIOS. En este momento, estoy trabajando en la restauración de un Toshiba Satellite C845 usando un programador de BIOS CH341A para devolver la vida a su firmware.

Me gusta aprender, compartir conocimientos y colaborar con otros para resolver problemas técnicos. Me considero una persona curiosa y persistente, siempre buscando formas innovadoras de arreglar dispositivos y mejorar su rendimiento. Me uní a este foro porque sé que hay mentes experimentadas aquí, y espero contribuir mientras aprendo de todos ustedes.

¡Emocionado de ser parte de esta comunidad! Si alguien tiene ideas o experiencias relacionadas con la programación del BIOS y el uso de CH341A, me encantaría intercambiar ideas. 🚀

Saludos cordiales, Eduardo

Nice to meet you all.

I'm student who is not satisfied with this state of electronic world and his waste of devices.
I'm glad to be here to learn more of "behind the scene" stuff like some service manuals for some sort of old reliable devices.

Now, I'm facing the problem that my 10 yrs old iPhone 6S stops working properly and I need to fix it, so I found this forum. I love repairing stuff and building new in old bodies etc.

Now I think I'm done with my introduction

Hello everyone !

My name is Chris, I am a 30 years old embedded software developer working in the automotive industry. I am really passionate about learning new skills and repairing/crafting stuff. I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about repair computers but nothing worked so far... I think I'll buy a new one as I already invested two weekends with no success and I can't really tell what's going on with it :S.

Cheers !
