Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,
I'm into repairing all sorts of electronic components or trying to!!
I live in the Oxford UK and I work as Mercedes Diagnostic Technician which I have been doing for the last 12 Years, so I have quite a lot of vehicle electrical knowledge.

I've repaired a couple of LCD TVs, Xboxes, Playstations, Laptop motherboards and I have been buiding my own PCs for the last 20 Years.

1st proper PC was a 286

I wanted to join this forum to hopefully learn a bit more about testing...

Hi
I've aquired this broken LCD TV,
Plugged in Standby lamp is on and tring the remote or standby switch does nothing. There is a voltage change from the switch pack to the main board when buttons are pressed
