Hi everyone!My name’s ramanvda, and I’m a tech enthusiast from France. I’ve been into electronics and embedded systems for over a decade now, mostly as a self‑taught hobbyist who loves combining hardware tinkering with a bit of software magic.My main interests include microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino, ATmega), low‑voltage power design, and experimenting with custom firmware flashing like Tasmota and ESPurna. Recently, I’ve been working on a small personal project where I simulate remote control button presses using optocouplers and MOSFETs, all managed through a web interface hosted on an ESP32. It’s been a fun challenge balancing signal isolation, power management, and responsiveness.Outside of microcontrollers, I enjoy exploring Linux system administration. I’m not a professional electrical engineer (my day job is closer to IT infrastructure and automation), but electronics have always been my creative outlet.In my workspace, you’ll usually find half-assembled PCBs, jumper wires everywhere, and a small 3D printer constantly running.

Hi all! I'm new to repairs. Autodidact. I want to master this difficult and noble business. To be able to give a second life to a complex device is not only interesting in itself, but also socially useful. I am here consciously. I compared the forums in terms of attendance and the friendliness of the guru. Stopped at badcaps.net/

Hello All =)
Im EightZeroFour but EZF is fine. I am new to electronics and still learning as i go, my passion is fixing up gaming consoles which so far has only really been the original Xbox. I have joined up after hearing about BadCaps from Learn Electronics Repair on YouTube (A great channel for people looking to learn)
Great to meet everyone =)

Hi all,
I have some basic knowledge in microelectronics field, but realized only lately that with some tooling it was not so hard repairing stuff, with some luck at least. In terms of computer repair II am a beginner as I repaired no more than three or four MacBooks. I am interested in both the technical and political aspects, knowing that repairing too much is bad for industry (simultaneously they overwhelm us with the urgence to "save the planet"), with Apple in forefront to brick their machines.
Congratulations to those who started or make live this badcaps initiative !Comment

Hi. I'm Victor, from Ukraine, but I've been living in Poland for five years, even though that doesn't grant me permanent residence in the European Union. I'm married and have two adult children. I've been working in the electronics industry since 1987, with experience ranging from repairing TVs and VCRs for a very large and well-known manufacturer to working with industrial electronics. I started working in the computer industry in 1991. I'm not primarily a computer programmer. I repair all electronic equipment myself. Currently, I've been working with solar-powered off-grid energy systems for over 15 years.Comment

Hello. I hope everyone is well. I am joining this forum mainly to get assistance in repairing a few laptops that have recently entered my possession.
However, I do have a general interest in electronics and am excited to learn from everyone.Comment

Hey all,
Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member of the community. I’ve been tinkering with electronics for a while — mostly repairing and restoring older hardware, and I’ve recently gotten more interested in troubleshooting boards at the component level.
I came across Badcaps while searching for repair tips and schematics, and it looks like an awesome place to learn and share knowledge. I’m looking forward to meeting others who enjoy bringing dead hardware back to life and learning a few tricks along the way.
Thanks for having me!
