Всем доброго дня. я из Узбекистана 😀. зовут меня Санжар. когда-то в начале 90х я никакого отношения не имел к электронике )), конечно-же за исключением компьютерных игр. случилось так что к середине 90х мне пришлось столкнуться с бессовестностью коллег отца которые обманули моего отца что я сломал компьютер и там сгорела видео карта ))) с того момента я и стал интересоваться электроникой и у меня это получалось намного лучше чем у моих сверстников... вот так я и стал электронщиком/it специалистом. вот такие вот пироги с капустой. и вообще хорошо что есть такие вот форумы где есть много полезной информации. еще раз всем доброго дня!

Ello. Name is Dillon.

I'm a hardware/tech enthusiast that has been in the electronics repair industry for over 15 years now. Been teaching myself more and more about board level repairs and pcb reverse engineering so I can repair specifically GPUs and such.

I'm just hear to learn and share what I've learned with others. I look forward meeting new people and helping those I can!

Hello, all!

I go back to when programming COBOL was via 80-character punch-cards and before when the Sinclair/Timex ZX81/TS1000 were a big deal for us electro-geeks. When 300 baud was the norm and 1200 and 2400 bps were luxury speeds. I used to service 16mm film projectors, AV units, computers (IBM and compats), Apple (II, IIe, IIc, III, Lisa, Mac-MacII), printers (dot matrix, thermal, daisy wheel, laser), monitors (crt, crt flats) ... and a whole bunch of other 'stuff'. I've forgotten more than I'll ever remember. I've dabbled in programming (html, js, basic, c#, c++), indulged in arduino, plumbing, I keep our hvac limping along. I've been a bicyclist (road, track, off-road), a hiker (local stuff!, no mountain tops for me). And now I just tinker a bit.

Hi everyone,
I'm running a product development company. I must fill in the gaps where needed on the technical side.

I'm Jess, trying to get into electronics and repairs. It fascinates me. Working on a friend's ps4 and I have found many hints and details here about it. So I thought I should join and participate.

I guess I should be sociable and introduce myself. My immediate goal is to give a shot at repairing my flaky old Plasma TV before I junk it. Mixed emotions, as I hate to junk a TV that cost a fortune back in the day ... yet I could replace it with a nice 4K TV for only a few hundred bucks.

I am a life-long electronics tinkerer though my professional background is more on the software/system architect side of engineering. I am involved in research, design, and productization of "enterprise" electronics equipment, which means that it's typically the kind of products that are bought by businesses rather than Consumer Electronics.

Since grade school I have tinkered with more types of electronics and computers than I can remember, most notably TRS Color Computer in high school, Amiga 1000 once I got a job and could afford it, followed by every kind of computer you can imagine since then (VME systems, x86, Unix minicomputers, and tons of Linux-based embedded devices in my professional life). I don't shy away from "trying" to repair anything from cars to HVAC, washers and dryers, dishwashers, small electronics, you name it. A couple of my recent hobbies include maintaining and restoring pinball machines, and very recently I've started fixing up vintage audio equipment such as receivers and a reel-to-reel tape deck.

Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge and willingness to help that I am seeing in these forums!

Hi,

New to this forum, not new to building/repairing PC's and laptops.
lot have changed over the years, now sometimes I feel like a newbie with all the techniques changing rapidly. Also components are getting smaller and smaller, and my eyesight is getting weaker and weaker
I remember my first project on a TX8086, expanding memory with a 128K card and building in a 4MB HD. Those where the days :-) , components where huge and my eyesight was perfect.

I hope I learn some stuff over here and get some advice on things I'm working on/trying to get it to work.
And if I can be of any help to others it will be my pleasure
