Hello, I'm a Tech with knowledge spanning many different areas, some being high knowledge and some just entry level. I'm here to learn and see if I can help others with whatever their problems may be. I'm actually in school right now for electronics and electrical engineering. But mostly I'm here because electronics are fun and getting that feeling, when you fix something that anyone else would think was just dead and unrepairable, is one of the best feelings ever.

Hi! I have a project I have been wanting to fix for years! I think all that I need is caps! I hope I can post pictures of what I need. Anyway, I am a newbie to all things electronic (for the most part), so please go easy on me!

Greetings!
My name is Jamie. I have an electrical engineering background, but have been working as a project manager for so long I feel I've forgotten everything.... it is humbling and frustrating, but I'd much rather ask than pretend to know I stumbled upon this forum while googling ideas to fix my led tv... This is looking like a great place to learn!
Thanks.

Hello,
My name is Tom. I have worked as an Electronic Technician since joining the US Navy in 1973.
Since the Apple ][ my passion has been resurrecting broken hardware.
To give them a new life and keep them in use rather than going to land fills. Even recycling them for their raw materials troubles me because I feel most can still be used by someone.
My reason for being in this forum to learn more about bad caps causing failures in LCD monitors and TVs.
I understand that is a very common cause.
I hope I can learn and contribute here.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
I have worked on (and still have) many older computers and monitors. Including: CP/M, Kapro, Apple ][, Apple ][+, Apple ][e, Apple ][c, Apple ][c+, Apple ][ gs, Mac 128, Mac Plus, Mac Portable, XT clones, AT clones, cables, cards, modems, etc.

David from Downunder here. I was trained in electronics in the late 70s and always had a passion for it as a kid. I became a technical trainer and eventually moved more towards non-technical training, so left electronics behind as a career. However have always remained interested from the hobby aspect, although it waxes and wanes a bit. About a year ago a neighbour asked me if his Pioneer Plasma was a write-off. I've fixed CRT TV s over the years but knew zero about flat screen TVs. A power supply changeover got that one going. Then my son dropped a magnificent Sony Bravia 55 inch LCD in for repair that he'd picked up on the side of the road. A replacement T-Con board got that going. (Originally sold in Oz in 2008 for $7,800 RRP.) Since then I've been hooked. I think I've got about 5 large screen TVs in the garage awaiting repair at the moment. I love the detective work of chasing down information on the net then trying to finds the parts at the best price. When I see that image come up on a written off TV it is just the best feeling! I'm enjoying my new hobby very much.

Hey everyone. Been in electronic repair since 1993. Love it and made a living off of it thus far. I finally decided to join a forum and this is the best that I've seen for a while. Its great to be here and hope I can be of assistance to anyone in here.

Well Cheers...!!!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone. Bobc here. I've been in the A/V industry for more years than I care to mention, and I found this forum while troubleshooting my plasma. Seems like most people (and some manufacturers) consider tvs as disposable after two years, and I don't agree with that. The forum looks like a good place to find what you need to make good choices of what to do when you're having problems, so thanks for the help in advance.

Hi everyone. I'm a software architect with a knack for soldering, who doesn't like spending hundreds of dollars replacing stuff that can be fixed.
