A little about me… I’ve always been curious about how things work, especially when they don’t. I started small — broken toys, burnt power adapters, and eventually worked my way up to phones, monitors, and motherboards. These days, I'm deep into board-level repair: tracing faults, replacing tiny SMD components, and trying to understand the logic of circuits that refuse to cooperate.
I joined this place to share what I’ve learned and learn what I haven’t. I’m hoping to contribute where I can, especially with schematic tracing, power rail issues, and component ID. But I’m also...

I recently joined this forum after coming across a few really helpful threads while searching for answers about a dead laptop board. I’ve been fixing electronics for a while now — mostly out of necessity at first, but now it's definitely a passion (or maybe an obsession. I joined this place to share what I’ve learned and learn what I haven’t. I’m hoping to contribute where I can, especially with schematic tracing, power rail issues, and component ID. But I’m also here to get better — particularly at advanced diagnostics, PMIC repair, BIOS stuff, and maybe reverse engineering a bit...
