Hi Everyone,

I'm from Rochester NY, I was referred to here since you guys are Pretty Awesome is what I hear!

Replacing capacitors is not something I've done a super lot of, the last time I did that I was replacing capacitors on the Bowling computer power supplies, but I didn't take the size of the Caps into account so they didn't fit!

I'll stop going into all that.

It's great to be here!

Read a very interesting thread on here on that very subject prior to signing up.

Morning! I just registered and my name is Chris and I reside in Texas. I have been working with TV's since 82 and I remember (barely) these things called "tubes", even learned tube technology. Thank God that era is behind me, I get shocked less often today when working on the new technologies. Looking forward to learning and repairing with this board.

Hi everyone! Another new guy here looking for help repairing the tv, but first a little about myself. I am a retired electrician, 66 yo, with some electronic background courtesy of the US Navy, and then from Gen. Motors working with robotic weld equipment. Looking to learn. Thanks.

Hi every one.
I discovered this forum trying to repair a Samsung SyncMaster 245B ... and it worked. I replaced 3 resistors and voilà :-)
Now I have 2 other monitors to fix (a Philips 170B4 and a Samsung L24C650U).
I'll need your help with those !
See you.

Good afternoon all..

I'm a non traditional college student in and a full time disc jockey at a radio station in Virginia. This semester (after four years...grrrr) I'll have an associates degree in mathematics, and hope to start Electrical Engineering in the fall of 2016. I enjoy electronics as a hobby, and hope to repair my LG plasma television that seems to be having video quality issues.

I hope you are all well!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey TopCat,
Thanks for the intro and info. I am a young 68 yr. old grama who has been self employed since i was 21, I am a 4th generation of family business owners
in Well Drilling, Pump and Irrigation here in Florida.

I also owned & operated a retail business that sold supply parts to Local Business's, homeowners, landlords, real estate owners etc. for 32 yrs.

I am trained in troubleshooting the problems my customers had in
the areas of Electrical, Hardware, Plumbing, HVAC, and Pool supplies.

we operated from home for 6 yrs. until we purchased the retail supply
store and added our service business to the storefront operation
plus we did bench repairs on pump motors, installed ballasts in light fixtures
for our customers too.

I am a fix-it type person, love solving problems for people.

Now my purpose on this forum is to learn troubleshooting TV repairs.
FOR MYSELF, and I already do a lot of computer repairs - and helping friends
fix their own glitches created by not knowing what happened? just that they can't print, open a file, find a lost file, do a system restore etc. really beginner stuff.

So that's me in a nut-shell I guess.
have a good one friend.

Hey, Nice to meet ya'll.

RC or BigWilley to my friends. (6'2" 310lbs, only slightly fluffy)

BS in EE from Boise State, EIT (PE around the corner in controls/EE, got my EIT after being out of school for 9 years......) with background in Consulting Engineering, Firmware, Test, Substation Automation, Wind Turbine Control systems, Geothermal, System Integration, IT, various Help Desk type work in college. I dabble in many different things. Most unrelated to this endeavor.

Currently working on a Spectre X32BV-FullHD (has T-COn issue I think) and two Pioneer wood case Receivers (circa 1977, 1979, SX-1050 and SX-1080) both are just old and need some cleanup. Plus have a few monitors I need to fix, Dell FP2001(needs inverter board repair) and Gateway 22in (Bad Caps most likely).

Glad to be here.
