Hi! I'm Luke and my TV got knocked out by a power surge after a dude in a small aircraft took off from an airstrip near my house and caught the power lines near the airstrip and ripped them down. Crazy! Been trying to get this thing going for a couple months I hope this forum can help!

I'm an analog circuit design engineer with 40+ years experience which includes all types of consumer electronics and computers/IT gear.

Bad capacitors certainly ARE one of the leading causes of failure! In fact, this issue goes back at least 100 years, to the very earliest days of radio.

I have found bad caps forums to be enormously helpful and I look forward to contributing to the forum

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all, I've been lurking the forum and joined, very glad I did, there is a wealth of knowledge and people generous enough to share it with others. I was brought to the forum with an issue on a TV I was fixing to junk, but am hoping with assistance can be brought back to life. Not very electronically inclined per se, I am a 24 year old going to school for the medical field, far cry from repairing electronics! I look forward to learning some things and getting assistance on my problematic TV, would love to gift it to my daughter for her birthday. Thanks again

My name is Cole .

I hope I'm doing this right. I am not a super electronic s guy and hope to get more experience as time goes. This looks like a great forum to improve with.

A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:
