Hi everyone! My name is Sergio, and I'm from Cuba 🇨🇺. I'm passionate about technology and have been working in an electronics repair workshop for several years. I specialize in diagnosing and fixing hardware issues, and I also work on renewable energy projects across the country — from solar installations to energy-efficient systems.

I'm always eager to learn more about BIOS repair, firmware recovery, and embedded systems. I recently started exploring SPI flash programming and BIOS dumps as a hobby, and I'm excited to connect with others who share these interests.

Looking forward to learning from this amazing community and contributing wherever I can. Thanks for having me!

Ciao a tutti, mi presento: sono un appassionato di informatica e mi diverto con le riparazioni fai da te quando qualcosa non va. Ed indovinate un pò mi ritrovo qui proprio per cercare di risolvere un problema del mio vecchiotto notebook che si accende ma va a schermo nero. Però non è questo il thread giusto, perciò prima studio se qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema e poi si vedrà.

Hello Badcaps community,

My name is Mada, and I'm writing from Romania.

I've been working in the IT industry for about 10 years. I found this forum while searching for solutions to a specific problem I'm facing.

Currently, I'm trying to fix an HP EliteBook 840 G7, and I suspect it needs a BIOS reflash. I've seen a lot of expertise on these boards, so I'm hoping to learn from you all.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

Best regards, Mada

Since everyone is social here I will be introducing myself...my name's Desmond Tech I have been on this industry for 2yrs now.

I started on my own 3 November and I had many board repairs issues but don't know where and how to start from, where no customers though but really want to improve myself I don't have and work station but hope I will get it one day.

I will be happy if I make friends here and teammate as well ❤️🩹
