Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello, I'm Randy and live in the state of Washington. 60+ years here and can't think of another place I'd rather live. I have been a person that can't seem to throw away something I might be able to fix. My daughter would say to people when she was a little girl, "My Daddy can Fick-It". You see I'd really rather try and fix something, than throw it way. After all, if it doesn't get fixed, I get to see what made it Tick!!!
I have a 60" Pioneer Plasma TV (or monitor) that my friend bought years ago that went Poof one day. After doing a little research, it seems that maybe a CAP went bad on the Power Supply Board. He tells me the picture on this TV is awesome, and he heard a POP and smelled something burning after he turned it on one evening. He powered it up, turned to go sit down in his chair, and he heard the POP and than smelled the burnt plastic odor.
I checked the fuse and it's good. I'll need to order CAPS and also find a Capacitance meter is reasonable in $. I look forward to learning from others here.
By trade, I'm a painting contractor/painter. I do property management, play pool, ride my motorcycles, snow ski, bitch & Moan, somehow convinced my wife to keep me around, and enjoy doing things Solo. btw, I've got the back off the Plasma TV, and will be ready to order CAPS anytime.
Thanks for your WEBSITE. Randy Johnson aka: liloldunit
