Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone,

New to the forum. My name is Nathan and I'm a mechanical engineer working for Boeing up here in Seattle, WA.

My dad is a EE and always had circuit boards / soldering irons laying around so I caught the do it yourself computer bug early.

I've been making my own custom machines for awhile, but I've never chanced to actually pull capacitors off a board until now. With a dead Viewsonic VP930b 19" monitor on my hands, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to jump in...
