Hello all!

Looking for help on repairing a (free) TV and save it from the landfill. Already got plenty of electronics experience under my belt, so hopefully some extra knowledge from here can fill in the holes for troubleshooting.

I have true appreciation and respect for communities that facilitate or focus on the creation of innovation.

My friends and family call me Sparks because of my enthusiasm and exitement for electricity. My first real job, out of high school, was being a father.. And an electrician for a major lumbermill in Montana, US. Licencenced and sick of numbing my ability to create, or recreate, I quit my job.. After I got fired for successfully "Re-Engineered" my suppervisors plans for power regulation by introducing and pushing High Voltage Capacitor Banks to the Plants CEO.

Young, Smart, and full of capacitance... I was 21..

I am 30 today.. 4 years ago I quit a Silver-spoon Job as a Lineman after getting fired for not showing up to create "Foundations for Youth Technology Advancements", "FYTA". Non-Profit.. We focus on technological re-creation and collective resource understanding. The foundation of true inspiration..

I have 3 children that support energy..

Can't wait to learn and expand my knowledge with this community.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I meant to say that I chose to start FYTA. My kids became my goal... Thought I would clarify

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

my name is maxwell and my story is very very similar to yours

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?


And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..
