Hi,

I am trying to repair a Biostar N4SLI-A9 and experiencing difficulties locating which capacitors to order, I am thinking you guys are the experts here and this forum would be a great resource.

I am into cars, electronics, computers. Not particularly very experienced with electronics but I'd like to improve!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Electronics is not my profession, but I'm trying to learn more as a hobby, so I can fix things around the house. I stumbled across this while looking for information to repair an old monitor that was sitting in the closet for years. Rather than throwing it away, I wanted to see if I can bring it bad to life.

JOined because I wanted to get some info on a bad Sony VAIO 46Z monitor, but have successfully repaired a samusng 27 inch monitor before by replaicng a bad cap, so I figure I should fit right in. I'm an engineer/scientist by day so I may not be a pro repairer, but can help figure things out, or at least understand you when you help me.

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..

Mattox Here hope to some with a PDP42V18HA no pic still have some testing to do before a can ask the right questions

Hello all,

Name is Jeff. Been into modifying/repairing, working in a few fields computer related (my strong suit, both hardware and software, and a lot of network IO), but secondary has been AV system service and repair, which I currently do daily. I've been lurking this forum for probably 3-4 years now for references on how others have repaired AV gear that I get from work that is about to go to the landfill. This site is awesome, with some extremely knowledgeable folks. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help through the years - and I haven't even posted yet!

I get immense enjoyment out of the repair/modification of something that was once considered a complete and total loss. What's better than that?

-Jeff

Hi all. I have recently started getting more serious about soldering stuff and now that my skills are improving, I am looking at the possibility of repairing some of my old monitors to make them useful again!

I am a novice but I am always a very quick learner. So I will thank you all in advance for the knowledge I am sure to find here!

Cheers!

Hi all,

I have registered as my new Panasonic tv is out of warranty and I would like to try and repair it myself if possible. This is my third Panasonic plasma tv and the first one I've had a problem with. Unforunately, it's also the best one(VT60). Hope I can learn some things and get this fixed.

Thanks!
