Hello, I am a new member to the forum. I am an industrial electronics technician that most works on control systems, PLC programming and SCADA systems.

I have been reading through TV repair posts for the last week and learned enough to get a free TV working again though I am having some issues with it still. I am hoping to learn more in the coming days.

Hello Everyone!
I stumbled across this forum looking for a workaround for the supervisor (bios) password on a Lenovo T450s laptop my neighbor gave me. Thanks to the info I found I was able to reset it, I'm super-stoked!

I'm a semi-retired E^2 with 20+ years designing embedded stuff and making other people rich. I enjoy finally being able to do some projects for myself and for fun.

A million thank-you's to the people who provided the info on clearing Lenovo bios pw's!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all. My name is Dan, I've been a member here since 2014, and found exactly what I was looking for, but I'm back in search of more info and thought i would post an introduction. I've been in electronics since getting my degree in the late 80's. I worked as a tv and vcr tech for a number of years and I then focused mainly on repairing computers. Now I work on phones and tablets as well, but mostly I live off rental property these days. I'm also a musician and originally got into electronics in order to repair my own amps and other music gear. Saved myself a lot with that. I'll throw my two cents worth in whenever I think I can contribute. This is a great site.

Hello world! My name is Javier Acuña. I'm from Uruguay. I made a change in my life a couple years ago and now I´m studying electronics and repairing electronic devices full time. I´m very happy about this , all my life I did it like a hobby and now I´m accomplishing my dream. Right now I´m working at my home but hope soon I´ll open my own place. The forum is awesome and I wish I could help people and get helped to be a better electronic technician.

P.D.: I love to know about all kind of devices but I foucus my study and work on smart tvs, Iphones, Macbooks, Notebooks, Desktop PC and graphics cards.

Sorry about my written english. I´m out of practice

A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:
