Hey everyone,
I'm Craig, from Scotland. I'm 50, first computer I had a play on was a homebrew Apple 1, and my first computer was a ZX81.
I'm currently working for a charity that refurbishes donated computers for disadvantaged communities, currently equipping schools across Malawi, Africa.
I'm hoping I can get some help and info for defeating some of the BIOS locks, etc, we often hit; I really don't like sending otherwise decent hardware to the scrap pile when it could be out there helping someone learn how to make our world a better place.
I've studied automotive engineering and I quite enjoyed electronics, specially micro-controllers. Then came across Youtube electronics repair videos and I fell in love with it.
Something about the ideia of component level repair and the detective work that I really enjoy. Understanding precisely what went wrong and why instead of just throwing a new part or buy a complete new product is very rewarding to me.
Me: Electronics engineer (embedded) with passion to fix used electronics like Apple computers, Laptops and consumer stuff
Writing this on a repaired headless MacBook Pro A1707... (headless suits me well)
Let's have fun
Bom dia, Sou Luiz do Brasil, Trabalho com informática há mais de 20 anos, estou sempre em busca de conhecimentos, agradeço a todos por me aceitarem no grupo.
Hey there! I'm Jay. I've got a knack for fixing computers and dabbling in a bit of programming. I'm the person you call when your PC isn't behaving, and I've got a few coding tricks up my sleeve. I'm also a hardcore gamer and love building custom rigs to get the most out of my gaming experience. Basically, if it's tech-related, I'm all in! Nice to meet you all!!!

Hi all. I'm an old timer who is still keeping a hand in the game. I enjoy repairing things...all things from computers to cars to radio and electronics. Thirty-five years ago I became a journeyman Certified Electronics Tech in Consumer Electronics but like anything else, if you don't use it you lose it. Well, I haven't lost it entirely....let's just say I'm rusty. I still like learning and solving problems. Glad to be among you all.
