Hello and welcome.

Very beautiful place. Looks like you are on an island.

Need to learn about electronics. Right now I'm trying to fix a LG 42LC7D-UB and I need information. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can before I retire permanently. I like working with electrical devices, and fixing things always give a sense of reward. But I don't know a whole lot as you all but I feel this is a good place to start.

Hi, my name is George. I have little electronic component experience but plenty of interest. I can "build" a computer given the working components, and am a fair trouble shooter in general. I am a computer programmer for a living, and used to be a trainer teaching Microsoft products, including a 5 day Windows 95 class, and advance programming classes for Excel and Access. I was even selected from a nationwide pool of hundreds of Access trainers to personally design and teach a 3 day course in Access to Jeff Raikes, the Executive Vice President of Microsoft. I swear it's true!

Hello, I'm from southern California, been living here my whole life. I stumbled on this site when googling for a fix to my viewsonic monitor. It turned out to be a blown fuse and is now working. I took a career course this year and the tests results said that one of the careers that I would enjoy working is being an electrical/electronic technician. So this site will help me alot since I don't know much about fixing electronics.

Hi, my name is Ed. I've got an Electrical Engineering degree and have experience with both hardware and software. I've always liked taking things apart to see what made them tick. When I was a kid it was mostly mechanical things, but electronics were more of a mystery & challenge so I gravitated to that in school. Of course, I'm the family repair man and IT guy - isn't everyone on this forum? I've moved around some over my career of nearly 30 years, but it's always been in the Midwest (USA) and I've been in Indianapolis, IN for the last 7 years. I'm glad to have found this forum and hope I can help others and learn some new things along the way.
Cheers!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello All,

With classical bad timing I am joining this forum after having already (just recently) recaped my first TV - successfully.

Having done so I posted a bit of advice on another forum called DIYNOT intended for those repairing LG TV power supplies and I had a really bad experience. All I said was that I suggested that they use 105 degree 5000 hour caps from a supplier like Panasonic, Rubycon, Chemi-Con or similar.

WELL you'd think that I'd just suggested sacrificing first born given the monstering that I got from someone who said that the working temperature and endurance data were, and I quote here, 'meaningless' because that's what it says on a commercial recapping site that sells 'low ESR' caps.

Anyhow, I'm here learning - it's been a very long time since I studied capacitors.

Other things: first computer ICL 1903T in 1973. Couldn't get it in my bedroom so I kept it in a specially built building west of London.

Formerly an R&D manager with Sensormatic Electronics Corp and now a full time carer.

I do a bit of digital electronics where my programming skills compensate for a lack of proper electronics skill.

All the best to everyone.
