    Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

    I guess I had better introduce myself.

    60 year old Electronic Design Engineer from the UK - but TV is not my scene.

    I am stuck now trying to sort out my 'offsprings' TV problems

      I am not a robot. I do have a quick question regarding a TV I've just repaired, and I think someone here is likely to be able to help.

        Hello everyone. I love working with electronics and trying to fix them. I'm constantly trying to increase my knowledge of electonic components and am happy to be a part of this community.

          Re: New Members - First let me say hello! I am some what of a fix it all.

          And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

          So I'll start things off :

          My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

          Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

          my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
          So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

          so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

          now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
          where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

          and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

          so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

                        arkaboogie here... first pc build and it's a portable for pro audio. trying to figure out how complicated it gets to try to build an old dell 2007fp into the top of a 4U rackspace unit. Z97 mATX motherboard with i7 4790 cpu. i've seen other similar configurations using laptop display panels, but really like the size and resolution of this desktop 2007fp for this situation. any thoughts?
