In my kids language I'm a 'Noob'/Newbie which translates to beginner. I've replaced 3 capacitors in 1 TV to make it go again.....I think I've got a lot to learn. lots of research needed.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello!

I'm in my late 20's and a software engineer by trade. I tinker with electronics and PCs' on my free time every now and then. I bought two broken gaming laptops earlier this year (or was it in late 2020... time flies), the other one gets power OK, fans spin and LEDs light up, but no video output. Maybe a bios problem.

The other one has problems with power, it stays dead when plugged in. I have (probably) located the culprits, but lack the tools to replace the FETs, so I might have to give up on it. Or more likely: buy the needed tools....

I also build guitar effects pedals (or at least used to) and I'm generally interested in learning 'what makes things go'.

I mainly registered to gain access to previously posted attachments and knowledge, but who knows if I could give back one day to this awesome forum.

Hi!
As a kid, my mom was dumbfounded that I took apart my brand-new Commodore VIC-20 computer. Apparently I told her "I need to know how it works in case it breaks down" but those memories fade with age. What doesn't fade is my love of computers, 1990's cars and technology in general. I'm recapping a car ECU now (not my 1st) and a Sony A/V receiver (1st time) but I've had to deal with bad caps in motherboards as well. Hoping to learn a few things from this group!

Hi all,

mid 40's, dad and electronics enthousiast. Serious Commodore fan that realized he likes have a repair hobby better than a showroom of hardware. No real background in electronics, but pretty capable keeping old gear going on the hardware level.

Gday from New Zealand,

My name is Chris and I have been a audio tech for 35 years, worked on every brand I can think of doing warranty work for most. I am a guitarist and much prefer to repair and build tube amps than anything else haha. These forums are gold for someone like me who can seek advice when needed and offer it to anyone who might need some. Cheers.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all,
Great to be here. I'm a tinkerer and a hobbyist, but most importantly I'm someone who wants to fix my own laptop on the cheap instead of paying nearly the cost of a new laptop to fix the old one. LoL!
Looking to learn a lot from folks here.

Have a great day!
