    Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

    My name is Eric and I found my way here googling around trying to find out what's wrong with my LG plasma TV (which is only 3 years old). I am engineer by trade, but not really much of a hobbyist. I have done some soldering but I'm not very good at it.

    I do have some experience repairing TVs. Back in the CRT era, I had this NEC 26" that used to get a great picture via rabbit ears. But every so often, the picture would "snow up", as if the tuner was gradually drifting off. One of the first few times it happened, I must have released the "lock" on the recliner I was sitting in to get up, which then caused the recliner to kerthunk closed... instantly restoring the picture on the TV. In this way I was able to determine that percussive maintenance was called for. Unfortunately, this turned out to be habit forming. The TV needed to bit hit harder and harder, and with increasing frequency, eventually resulting in components inside tinkling their way somewhere into the bottom of the chassis.

    Of course that poor battered television is long gone, and now I have moved on to a bigger and better TV that gives me no reason to think that hitting it is going to improve anything. Needless to say, I am confident that some of the folks here can provide vastly superior troubleshooting advice.

              Good day, all. New to this forum. I was pleasantly surprised to find this site while searching for troubleshooting help. Seemed like most Google results led me to parts I didn't know I needed yet. Anyway, I'm electronic tech working for a government agency. We do a lot of troubleshooting down to cards then swap. I do my tinkering at home with broken tv's and pcs belonging to co-workers and relatives. They're cheap, so I stay busy.

              I date back to days of Commodore Vic 20. It still works.

              Again, thanks in advance for the expert advice I know is out there.

              Roger

                              Hello all, my name is Scott. I'm rather new to electronics. I did a home study electronics course when I was 16 but that was a very long time ago. More recently, last year, during a mid-life return to school for Software Eng degree I did an embedded systems module which has relit a desire to know more. All that, a broken blender and some diy project ideas has me here.

                              Cheers from Edinburgh.
