Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all just signed up after being guided here by google. From the UK

I do quite a lot of PC building projects, new stuff and like to dabble with some older stuff.

Often do refurbishments of older tech too as well as hunting down hard to find older gear.

Whilst I am capable don't have much experience in electrical components gone bad, hence why I am here. Hope to learn from what seems to be a vast resource of knowledge and offer my own where I can.

See you around

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I'm new to the site. I have many years of computer and automotive electrical experience but very little when it comes to lcd repair. I have found this site to be a great reference and the members are very good at helping others troubleshoot. I am getting into electronics repair as a hobby and I am very pleased to be a member of such a terrific site !

Hi All

Just found your Forum via Google.
I am a 64 year old retired (I Think !!) Tv engineer.
Have been repairing domestic electronic equipment all my working life.
Nowadays I spend my time repairing LCD televisions, Computors and anything else my friends and family bring me.
I also look after a small IT network for the last company I worked for.

Many thanks for letting me join you community.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

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..

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Who am I?

Well, I'm a 25 year old seasoned geek whose been working with computers since the tender age of 5 (perks of having an IT mom). I've ventured down both the hardware and software route (though nowadays I find myself on the software side of things [web development]).

I stumbled onto your streets after a Google search brought back a thread of two of interest.

I hope to enjoy my stay :"). Who do I have to kidney punch to be King of this jungle? :"D

Good day all,

I'm currently a data monkey working from home doing SQL/Analytics. Have always enjoyed dabbling in electronics, with a focus on PC troubleshooting and repair. Got a degree in LAN Management and Network Security but it really doesn't mean jack. Hoping to gain some insight and help a few guys out!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,

My name is Jimmy and I live in Florida. I found this forum searching for known problems for a LCD TV that is giving me issues. Unfortunately I have no technical knowledge to contribute but I'm hoping a few of you may be able to point me in the right direction. If I am able to start a thread with my issue I will update this post with a link to it.

Thanks for your ear,
Jimmy

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all! I've been working with electronics, mechanics, and electromechanics, etc since at least when I was 5. Between about 15 and 20 years ago I was the hardware service and repair technician at a VCR and computer repair business that my brother-in-law and I owned and operated. And for the past 15 years I've been an HVACR service technician, also doing component level diagnosing and repairs where it made sense at work as well as for friends and family.

Just found this site while looking for info relating to repairing an LCD TV that I inherited from a family member. It looks like a lot of great info and I look forward to poking around learning new things while contributing when I can. I'm going to try and turn my son onto this site as well - he's an up-and-coming electronics / robotics geek and may find it interesting in here.

Thanks!
Kimberly

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everybody!

I stumbled upon this site after looking for some help with my tv that just recently started to have problems. Since I already have another tv which I inherited that has issues, I figure I would give it a shot and try to repair both of them at the same time. Probably not the best idea since I'm running out of space with the two of them disassembled...
