Hi, All

My Name is Sweatins. It stands for Sweating(Since); I acquired this name because my hands sweat (Like Dripping) .

I am super pumped to have found this fourm as I have never used one before. Firstly I want to thank the BADCAPS guy for all of this also your office look nice .

I am 23 years old and started to tinker with electronics at the age of 5. I have no formal education on electronics (I learned through trial, error, others, and research).

Some goals I have are:
Learn how PCB allows components to communicate and interact with one another.

Assess the damaged of motherboards on cellphones and repair them.

So, as it stands, my journey officially starts when I get unrestricted access here.

Thank you all for having me!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post. My first computer was an 8088 around 1990. I've been hooked on computers ever since. I've always built my own computers after researching parts as best I could.

Recently I've been watching youtube laptop repair videos in an attempt to repair an older Apple MacBook Pro. I'm fascinated by how "simple" it is once one learns how to diagnose the problem. That's where I am now. Learning. And that is what brought me to this forum. I'm starting out with a bench power supply, good solder iron, and a multimeter. I'm hoping to find schematics and understand what the "open board view" is all about.

Since I'm in TX and in self-imposed lock down, I have plenty of time on my hands. Wish me luck!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

ok, my name is mumu, I love messing with electronic parts, especially laptops. This made me famous among my study friends and they asked a lot of help to repair their damage. then I have an idea to open a laptop repair service. this has been going on for 4 years besides me completing my studies at university.

I often try many things and finally I found this forum to learn more and share experiences

Hi Topcat & Forum Members,

I first came across personal computers in the last 1980's and became very familiar with MS-DOS. For many years, I was not so keen on opening them up to check out the hardware, but over the years have done basic things like installing RAM, installing expansion cards, updating graphics cards, installing fans and replacing power supply units.

I was drawn to this forum because of some issues with Seasonic power supplies and Topcat and other electronics experts are smart enough to discuss the issues and propose fixes. Thank you so much for the sharing. Seems like a shame throwing them out if there is a possible fix.

I don't know that much about electronics but in my very limited time would be willing to learn more about it. At this point in time, I don't even have a soldering iron.

Kind regards,

Adriel.
