Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Thanks for welcoming me to this forum. I'm working on a Pioneer QX 949 receiver and I am curious what others might have in terms of ideas on various repairs.

Hello, My Name is Dave, been working in the electronics field since joining the Navy many, many years ago..lol. The days of troubleshooting and fixing things to the component level. Mostly because you had no choice. Not a lot of swapping parts back in the day

Almost 30 years at my current gig in Medical Electronics which for many reasons, it is not practical to do board level repairs.

Like many here, I am sure you you enjoy the challenge and rewards of repairing your own things.

Thanks for letting me join..

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi - stumbled across this forum while searching for info on a Macbook Pro I was given. I've been slinging solder for about 45 years, but haven't done a lot in the last few decades, so I've fallen behind the times with SMD work and the like. New microscope for my old eyes though, and I'm trying to get back into it.

TXE36 here. Old school electrical engineer and long time lurker here. Picked up lots of good stuff over the years.

One area I haven't worked much with is switched mode power supplies and would like to know more. I have a couple I'd like to fix as well.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

i have been troubleshooting and making repairs and reverse engineering circuits and firmware stuff since the '80s, e.g. Bosch Motronics, Allen-Bradley CNC and servo drives, HP Distance Measuring Interferometers, TCCH/Elcon Battery Chargers, Ryobi 40V BMS boards, Tesla CMU boards, Mitsubishi iMiev onboard chargers; Sony Panasonic, Samsung, Vizio TVs and audio amps, electric guitar pre-amps and pedals, etc.

There's always something that i don't know, which means there is something new to learn. Ain't life fun?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, started as a computer engineer in the late 80s with a company that dealt with old Data General Mainframes, but moved on to become an Apple, Epson, Toshiba, Compaq and IBM dealership. I have tried my best to stay involved with self teaching for the last 30 years. Currently I am the local "fix anything guy" (reluctant to call myself mr fix-it for obvious reasons). I have an interest in electric transport, and have always loved working with engines. I do various radio and decoding projects (adsb aircraft and receiving satellite weather imagery) and still involved in computers and laptops. I sometimes struggle to keep up to date with the newer generation of devices at times. Thanks for having me

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Just joining in after discovering this forum and wishing I had found it earlier.

I'm an active EE with a background in digital/analog electronics and embedded software. I have a fairly extensive home lab where I try (I'll repeat... TRY) to repair whatever comes my way. This mostly involves small power supplies with bad capacitors. Sound familiar?

I'm hoping I can learn a thing or two through this site and get these old PCs, printers, microwave ovens, and assorted devices running once again!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I'm a new member. I like to repair electronic devices vs replace them. I work for SMB owners, they own a variety of businesses: food processing plant, a sports bar/restaurant, an over-the-road hauling company, etc. I'll try to fix anything that the bosses would like fixed: computers, embedded controllers, TVs, A/V hardware, etc. I also handle misc IT issues that comp up with their office computer systems.
