Hey everyone!
Gaming since the mid 90s. Started taking things apart and putting them back together around the same time. Build and set up computers for family and friends. Enjoy working with my hands and fixing things around the house. Build my own furniture, remodel my own home, do my own car maintenance, etc...

Working on a TV currently. I usually like the process and learning how to work on new, different things, but this time it's just been frustrating and not a whole lot of actual learning. Info feels scarce to the public and many suggestions for workarounds, but not actually diagnosing or fixing the problem. Presumably because it involves equipment that few have, but still. Anyway...lets get started.

Hello my name is Guilherme and I'm from Brazil. I have studied industrial electronics in the past on a prestiged public school in my state and I am here mostly to learn SMD component soldering and handling.

And also to fix my GTX970 FTW, but thats beside the point.

From snooping around a bit i see that this is a great community and I'm glad to be here.

(If you have a schematic for that GPU hit me up cause i'm having trouble identifying the burned mosfet)

Hello friends, I am glad that I found this help site and that I have the opportunity to join this group. After retiring I started to repair some electronics as a hobby and now electronic devices from family and neighbors keep arriving. I hope to learn a lot from you. I'm sorry if I made any mistakes. I'm still learning how to use the site's tools. Hug to everyone!

Hello everyone!

I can't say I've ever been forced to post before on a forum. LOL.

Great site! I've used it many times in the past to save LCD screens, and probably other items - I could have sworn I had an account before, but maybe that was with an old work account.

Looking to MAYBE repair an ancient, but still useful as a RDP client Toshiba laptop.
