Hello Everyone ,, I came here to fix my GPU by myself (burned some components while doing a benchmark (Sapphire Radeon RX 470 4GD5)). Never did component-level troubleshooting ...will start learning

Hi Gus is my handle,
Joined as I'm fault finding a Sony Android TV stuck in boot loop....
Another forum suggested to look here for additional help.

Hi all,

So I have quite a long story which I'll summarize as best as possible,

Basically, I grew up wanting to work with electronics, but life had other plans, therefore I ended up playing around with things as a hobby..

After going as far as basic SMD reworking, I halted all focus in this area after not being able to work on my personal Apple Macbook air, due to a lack of sufficient equipment or ability to acquire such equipment at the time to replace a damaged BGA, such as a microscope..etc

Fast forward some years later, I managed getting an AMScope used, picked up some other equipment, and decided to get back into the groove of learning through practical examples.

I recently purchased two artifacting RTX 3060TI's which just required a VRAM change, and came down further down the rabbit hole of board repair, thus the joining onto this forum.

Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to join the badcaps community! I've been reading through the forums and I'm really impressed by the depth of knowledge and willingness to help that I see here.

A little about myself: I'm a student studying AI/machine learning in Miami, but in my spare time I enjoy working on older laptops and electronics as a hobby. There's something satisfying about bringing dead hardware back to life, and it's a nice break from the theoretical side of my studies. Most of my experience so far has been with basic component swaps and troubleshooting, but I'm always eager to learn more advanced repair techniques.

I'm looking forward to learning from the experienced members here and hopefully contributing back to the community as my skills develop. Thanks for maintaining such a valuable resource for electronics enthusiasts and repair techs!

Best regards,
John

Hi y’all!
I am a novice tinkerer, having learned and applied much from this forum(the tv sections mostly), and now am learning more about laptops and notebook stuff. I am an avid researcher, so I am very happy to dive in and help gather useful info if I can. Looking forward to learning from you pros!!

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to join the Badcaps community! My name is Mahamudul Hassan, and I’ve been deeply involved in electronics and computer repair for several years. My main focus is on diagnosing and repairing laptops, desktop PCs, and especially gaming consoles. I enjoy troubleshooting down to the component level — from replacing faulty capacitors, MOSFETs, and ICs, to BIOS/UEFI work and board-level diagnostics.

I currently work in a local computer repair shop where I get hands-on experience every day, but I also spend a lot of time learning and experimenting on my own. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong interest in embedded electronics repair, data recovery, and custom firmware/ROM projects.

Outside of repair, I’ve also been building software tools (mostly using Electron.js, React.js, and Node.js) to support workflows like invoicing and diagnostics. I really enjoy combining my programming skills with my repair work to make the whole process more efficient.

I joined Badcaps because I’ve often come across valuable repair information here, and I’d love to both learn from the experienced members and share whatever knowledge I can contribute.

Looking forward to being a part of this great community!
