Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in

I have had good experience with the 330uF tantalum caps from this seller at AliExpress:

First repair (an L300) last year went flawless except for a slight warping of not too well covered case plastic.. (No, I do not take the motherboard out all the way).

Steps followed:

- Bought a 'non working' L300 Toshiba, complete but rebooting, for €20...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,
I am me, a Dutch guy, at 64 yrs old. Except for 1.1 full-time job as a fraud analyst, I dabble in electronics - tube radio's - and a.o. repair older broken laptops (the € 15 / 20 dual core ones) , esp the bad caps or loose videochip types.
After I have had my fun getting it working I usually give the things away to charity cases as I have stuff enough already (or so my wife thinks, but I must agree ...)
