Hello,
I was a tech worker (mask designer) who slaved away at Intel Corp. from 86 to 2003 before retiring.
I'm here having just discovered a new resource for knowledge.
For the last few years I've been trying to build a good tube based hifi system and in doing so I've had to learn to work on my own equipment. So I'm now starting to put together a lab which means fixing up old lab equipment. I'm hoping Badcaps might be a good resource for schematics, expertise etc. Anyway I'm glad to have found it.

Hi; my name is Sean. I like to think I'm generally pretty decent at fixing computers software-wise, but I'm interested in learning how to repair actual hardware if possible.

Hello All

I decided to join this forum to learn more about motherboard repair. I look forward to learning from the experts here and hopefully learn to complete a few DIY repair projects.

Here is one cool fact about me. I own a rare OQO model 2+ (1.8GHz Atom) prototype UMPC. it works surprisingly well.

Hope you all had a Happy Holiday?

Regards

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

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..

Well my names joseph I love the language of the ppl on this site who don't mind using their noodles rather then saying “it broken” they choose the road less traveled and roll up there sleeves and get to work not worrying about someone saying that it will void your Warranty
