Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello everyone! Haven't heard of this forum until last night when I was looking for schematics for my girlfriend's Alienware laptop after I found a scorch mark on the back side of the keyboard and what appeared to be a blown cap.

I've recapped a few bad through-hole caps on motherboards before but am only a novice. I think after I get a few caps I might just try and see if I can fix her dead (& beloved) laptop. Luckily I do have a hot rework combo soldering station (granted it's a cheaper one) so I'm mostly there...
