[Mason Stalcup]

Howdy! My name is Mason and I'm primarily an automotive and diesel mechanic, but my father is an electrician, so I grew up reading all his books and such. I'm definitely no expert, but I'd say I'm far from a novice with electronics and computers. It's quite the addicting hobby. I generally hate SMD stuff, but it's quite unavoidable nowadays 🤬 Anywho, that's pretty much it. The info on this site is absolutely invaluable, and the expertise of everyone is greatly appreciated!

Hi, nice to join this community.

[kagemusha1080]

Hello people! I'm glad to join your comunity.

I'm from Ukraine. For the most part I deal with relatively simple devices, mainly repair them but also take part in small scale manufacturing of those devices(mainly troubleshooting and configuring boards assembled by other people).

I don't have experience with board repairs on complex electronics like laptops, PCs or graphic cards, but I have worked for some time as a technician on PCs mainly performing maintenance and testing whatever used stuff company was going to buy.
I would like to some day work as embedded developer that does both electronics and software development.

Looking forward to learn from you guys, and if I ever come across anything worthwhile I will share it with you as well.

Hello guys

I am Simon Weber from Switzerland, and i am 46 years old. My english is unfortunely not the best. But I try my best and sometimes i will use AI for my texts. I am an hobbiest and want to learn repair my own PC stuff... I watch a lot of videos on Youtube where they repair consoles, laptops and PCs. And for this purpose i searched for schematics or boardviews. And a lot of this videos, i have watched, was Badcaps mentioned for this. So now i am here. I guess i have firstly read a lot, so i give the admins no reason to need to warn me.

Best regards
