[Pedro Alves]

Greeting evryone!

I've always been passionate about electronics, only now I have had the possibility to explore it.

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48K, some keys stopped working, nothing I could do, that was frustrating. As life went on I had many device that I want to understand buit had no tools or anyone to teach me. Curiosity stayed alive. I've aquired basic tools for repairing and building, so far I've had some fun with them and I feel that the ability to make small repairs is closer. Diagonsing the problems seem like the greatest challenge now. Looking forward to learn and share what I can.

Howdy all - fackie here.

Love anything and everything retro, so I've found this forum when searching for information regarding an old Abit BP6 motherboard that I'm refurbishing. The forum is 21 years old and still going strong, I see. Almost as old as this motherboard

[kuiri]

Hey everyone in badcaps, I've been a lurker for years, but I never got to login or create an account. I guess is worth it, to help other people.

A little bit about me? Well I am a systems administrator and in my free time I like to mess with older devices, such as routers, desktops or laptops.
