Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hi, Mike here, from Palo Alto, CA. (Hey, right in the heart of Silicon Valley :-) Mainly do software, but have been doing a lot of hardware lately, mainly embedded systems, in the form of wearable sensors for medical and fitness applications, with LPRF (Low Power RF). See my volunteer group on Facebook, Maker Corps, where we try to figure out how to apply these devices (and any other assistive technology) to solutions for folks with disabilities.
You can find a picture of one of my wearable gadgets in that FB group, too. So I do digital design and fab down to 0.5mm pitch connectors on PCBs (with a stereo microscope :-)
I'm here because a neighbor gave me a Vizio 42" LCD with a dead display. Found the full service manual on the net and a thread here confirms my suspicion that its probably a dead power supply. Cool, I can handle that.
Mike (who also had to replace bad caps in two Channel Master DTV converter boxes that died within a few weeks of each other :-)
