Hi Everyone,
Fixing a MacBook Pro A1425 that got some water damage, and a search for schematic brought me to Badcaps.
Hopefully I can exchange some knowledge here.
Thanks, JT

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

"Newbie" DAHoneycutt here. Glad to be a member from Albuquerque, NM.

Hi Everyone,

I came across this forum while looking for help unlocking a Dell Bios password. I can see there is a LOT of good stuff on this site! I see myself getting lost on the forum reading posts and learning new things etc. I always enjoy a new challenge.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all,

I'm Mediatech and I'm pretty new to this forum. I've been working on all sorts of electronic gadgetry for many years. Mostly pro and commercial audiovisual stuff along with tons of computer equipment. I came across Badcaps as I was looking into possibly recapping some mobos. This looks like the perfect place... and fun too. Not sure why, but I really never considered recapping a motherboard until recently... oopsie?

I have lots of browsing to do here! My first mobo recap will be for practice and I hope to post about it when I get around to doing that job. That give you guys some time to practice not laughing when you see my handiwork.

Thanks,

Greg... Aka mediatech

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi! Looks like a great board here, lots of wisdom and all. Am looking forward to looking through the forums to see what I can find out about things I can POOGE or restore.

BTW--old caps going flaky/bad is hardly new....somewhere I have the RADIO NEWS magazine for January 1940, in which there is an article about how to restore dried-out Mershon electrolytic caps that Philco used in a number of their AC-powered sets in the 1930s....
