I am 52, Greek. My first computer was a Amiga 500 on 1993 and with the amiga there was gratis a dos book with all the commands... (remember "deltree!!!")
Well i was very surprised when i saw the same commands on the Microsoft dos -windows!!!
---remember---
THE AMIGA HAD VOICE OUTPUT ANG READ ALLOUD FUNCTION WITH 512 KB RAM.... and games with 2x1,44 mb

My first laptop Compaq 486sx with 8megs ram and 100 megabyte of harddisk!!!!! I still have this disk as a souvenir from another time.....

---remember---

Now married with 2 kids, and electronics is just my hobby..
I AM here to un-password my bios, locked by mistake, but i find the forum very interesting on leaning new things.

Hello everyone, I've worked as a automotive dismantler for the pass 30 years, I'm a jack of all trades by necessity as I usually can't afford to pay a professional.

Hello, just registered here. Software developer by trade but recently venturing into electronics. Managed to build a 300 MHz one-transistor oscillator earlier this year (https://foulab.org/projects/eigma/fan/) and recently repaired a 450 watt ATX power supply. You'll have to check my post in "Troubleshooting Power Supplies" for that one! :-)

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello. I just found this forum recently. I am fairly new to board repair.

I am a laid off newspaper photographer based in Michigan that mostly covered sports such as MLB, college Football, Basketball and auto racing. I'm looking to transition from photography to repair work.

I hope to learn as much as possible.

Thanks for the addition...

Cheers, Steve Perez

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,
I’m french and new here.
I had some trouble with my Dell G3 3579 laptop running Windows 10 and that's how I found out about this forum.
I repair my pc cause I was suddenly receiving messages telling me a missing dll file (I should point out that I did not install / uninstall anything new or update anything.)

By typing a letter the cursor freezes a few then either the letter appeared or not, or is then doubled, or even tripled!
The battery was no longer charging.
We see the battery drawing on the desktop filling up ten times before stopping, the battery remains at 0.

I opened my PC, disconnect the battery, took my multimeter and I have my 19.5 V at the transformer output and therefore at the PC input.

I then performed:
- Anti-virus
- Anti-Malware
- Made the last updates (possible because some like bios require 40% minimum battery).
- Formatted the pc and reinstalled Windows

My keyboard is still faulty and my battery remains at 0.
Despite formatting and reinstalling windows my wallpaper is still there, I think there is some kind of Dell managed underlay that even formatting does not reset.

I ended up doing a simple bios update and everything is working now !
