Hello,
I'm an incurable tinkerer from Birmingham (UK) and have been taking things apart since 1980. My wife says I can fix anything but I don't tell her about my failures.
This site looks like a great antidote for our throw-away culture and looking forward to contributing.

Hi
In a nutshell I've decided that learning GPU PCB repair looks like a thing I could do so have started buying duff cards on eBay. In hindsight I probably should have started with some cheap ones first.
Anyway I have yet to purchase a hot air station so some recommendations on that front would be welcome. A microscope as well would probably be a good idea, and it seems a lab power supply so I can avoid frying cards I'm working on I guess?
So completely new to this, up until now I've been lucky with the bad cards I've bought, most appear to be previous owner error with drivers or something so not obviously a hardware issue.

Hello!
I'm a hobby electronics enthusiast. I primarily like to take old computers and old electronic equipment and modify it into musical instruments. I found this forum because it came highly recommended by a number of reddit users for help with electronics.

New member - jim wray, started in electronics with IBM in 1966 - moved into software and application design and consulting in 1978. became part of an independent consulting group 1994 to 2006, retired in 2006. Am reasonably adept both mechanically and electrically, have always opted to "fix" rather than replace whenever possible. I'm turning to this source for some input regarding repair of my 3 year old tv. Look forward to reply to my post, when I can make it. jwray.msi@fuse.net
