Hi
A retired signal engineer from BR days. I started working life as a TV technician apprentice with a small TV company. Spent some years 'playing' with electronics and early computers ZX80/ZX81/Spectrum. Very good stuff. I see Sinclair was mentioned on Andrew Marr's 'Elizabethans' - totally agree an inspiration for many young engineers many not so young now.

Hello guys.
My name is Antonio and I am from Alicante Spain.
I came to this forum by chance, looking for information to repair my laptop.
I am quite crafty in repairing all kinds of machinery and although I do not have many notions of electronics I want to learn, and I think that this forum is a good place to start and ask for help.
thank you all.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I am glad to be here, I like tinkering any electronic. Mostly the hardware side.
I found this place when I was searching for macbook a1534 schematic.
Hope to have some fun here as well as learn more about electronics skills.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I have recently picked up a soldering Iron again to attempt to repair electronics, something which I haven't done for many a year.

When I was a kid, I used to make small electronics projects, things like basic radios or simple circuits using 555 timer chips or Darlington pairs

When the UK locked down earlier on this year, I decided that I needed a hobby (I had built a big shed in the garden over the previous winter, and had just installed power, heat and light).

I decided that I would buy a knackered laptop and attempt to fix it. £20 later I was the proud owner of a Fujitsu with a hole burnt through the motherboard by a blown capacitor.

Lacking the required tech to repair the motherboard, I eventually obtained a replacement and got the laptop working, that spurred me on to spend a few hundred quid on Aliexpress buying a trinocular scope / camera / hot air station / soldering iron / power supply.

I am amazed at the miniaturization of components. Technology has come a long way in such a short time. The use of IC's to regulate voltage is also new to me. Buck converters are something I've only just learned about, I'm pretty sure they've only hit the mainstream since I last meddled?

I see software as some sort of dark art, and I wouldn't know where to start repairing a computer which had a software / bios issue. I'd probably try and wipe the machine and start again. I'm more interested in trying to sort a hardware issue.

I've recently soldered a CMI Zapper into a 17" Macbook to sort the notorious GPU fault, and an A1502 arrived this morning which wont switch on, but gives an orange charge light.

Repairing PC's / Laptops and Mac's is not what I intend to do professionally. It's just something I like to do to get away into my shed for a few hours every now and again.

Hi Everyone! New member here. Getting back to tinkering with electronics after 20 years break I missed it, but have a lot to learn. No more through the hole components / transistors that you can see with bare eye and hold with bare hands lol. And my vision is not getting any better as well. Hope to learn here and contribute my knowledge.
