Hello my name is Richard, and I have little to no experience with electronics but stumbled across your site while looking for a solution to fix my current monitor blinking while cold.

I have yet to attempt the repair but I'm armed with excellent knowledge from several experts that have posted on here.

Kind regards

R

Hey All

I'm Steven, I have little experience working with electronics. I used to work for Maplin Electronics in the UK on a trade desk supplying spares. These days Maplin sells useless crap so i don't work there any more. I have been a computer engineer for the last 15 years and electronics is my hobby.

Hello all,

I have a hobby in repairing old stuff, usually broken or thrown away. I am fascinated how the old radio electronics work. These days everything is in one board and not interesting for me. Hope I may find interesting topics here and people to relate to.

Hi all! Just registered after coming across a thread on a samsung plama tv power supply repair and thought i'd sign up.
I do some electronics repairs at home (more of a hobbyist than an actual job) and i'm currently trying to fix my mum's TV so hopefully this will help!
I'm sure i'll use the site in the future from time to time when i get stuck on a repair.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Top of the mornin to you all. I am on here because I've recently begun amateur repair of plasma TV's. I really have been reading the forums here quite frequently for advice etc. I am not a repair tech and have no formal training. As a result I've been learning as I go along. I've been careful to always unplug the TV and let it discharge before working on stuff. I am doing this as a hobby more than anything. I have successfully repaired 1 samsung plasma TV and am working on two more. Looking forward to being a part of your community.

Hello, everyone. I'm a newly registered member of the forum. I stumbled across the site while trying to find information on troubleshooting a Panasonic TC-P50G25 with a 4, then 10 blink code. There is so much information here - it's amazing! I think I'll be sticking around even after this TV is fixed.

Thanks!

A little info about me.
I've played around with capacitors since I was a little lad. My first experience with one was with my dad working on a farm tractor working on ignition tune up. He charged the condenser (capacitor) with a spark plug wire and tossed it to me and when I caught the thing pow I got the biggest shock of my life.
To bad they don't have them today on the cars it would be fun to test them out on my friends.
Any way i've been tinkering with electronics off and on building electronic toys and games. And now working on my first big screen tv.
