I have a Dell Latitude e5520 with a bios admin password that I can't get past. After scouring the internet I have little hope. Please PM me if you have a way to solve it.

Hi all:

I am a newbie... Just wanted to say hi and H E L P ! I have a strange problem with a Panasonic tc-p42c2 It shown 6 blinks after it warmed up (35 - 40 min) and then it will not show image again until it cools. Took the back off and checked for bulging caps. Nothing. Tightened all fasteners and powered on. Perfect. kept it on for over 2 hrs and no shutdown. Put the back on and now it won't even show a picture when cold. Will post in the right area...

Thanks

Hi, just decided to join this page, as I am attempting to repair a TV of mine that went out a few months ago. Hopefully this page will also help me with future electronic devices that I may want to repair!

Hi, I'm a new member. I have been working with electronics since I was a teenager in the 1970's. I love designing circuits and analyzing circuits designed by others. My first computer experience was building and configuring DOS machines at a school where I worked in 1985.

Hi all

My name is Ron Blake.
Through the years I have run sideline businesses performing component level repair mostly on computer components but also on various other electronic components, while being in full-time and part-time military positions. I also have backgrounds in building computers and configuring custom rigs for graphics heavy tasks both Mac and PC and, in Computer Graphics, 2D, 3D, Animation, Illustration, Photography, Photo editing, Videography, Video editing, Web design, etc, etc. Yeah, I know it's odd to be a techie and a user on the artistic side of things but necessity drives the train and here I am at this point in my life 51 years old disabled and in need of capital so I am going to get back into more component level repair work again.

Yep, I am a tech, a geek, an artist and a grunt.

I look forward to using this community for research and avoiding having to reinvent the wheel metaphorically speaking, and intend to contribute as well help to prevent others from having to reinvent the wheel metaphorically speaking again.

Thank you for this site and community!

My main system:
Alienware M17x hacked to run both OSX and Win 7
Numerous other Mac and PCs for various tasks to include a self built network render farm for rendering 3D Animation
Various other electronics to include Audio equipment, TVs, CRT and LCD Monitors , BluRay and DVD Players, Media Players for playing Reencoded digital movies, etc, etc!
Unfortunately keep fairly busy on my own equip as it ages and educating my friends and community on modern tech and helping them with there equip!

Anyway, glad to be aboard!

Ron Blake

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,

I am a computer programmer in New Orleans, Louisiana. My first computer was trs-80 . I was a whopping 6 years old when my father brought it home. You could say that one event solidified my path in life. I'm 40 now and I program in something like every language. It is my passion to learn new syntax and apply various programming concepts to languages that I basically don't even really know. It could even be said that the puzzle and mysteries of new languages is what drives me. As those puzzles/mysteries become less, I tend to move to another language.

My current system is nothing very special but, I will be building a new one in a few months. I believe the people of this forum can give me information and knowledge which will help me make some better choices than I would make on my own. For me it's not so much a matter of "which", it's a matter of "why". Anybody can have an opinion on why they prefer something. I'm more interested in the facts of why you prefer it.

Thank you for allowing me to share in you knowledge,
Michael

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all! I've bumped into the site a time or to when trying to reuse some 32 bit systems I inherited. I'm a fan of all things computers, love learning new systems like linux, freebsd, etc. Built my first system in 99' (athlon amd, Asus a7v). Enjoyed it immensely .. I've migrated to database systems from programming but I've been immersed in security and machine mass production so that has gotten me into hardware/network side a bit. Jack-of-all-trades so when I lost a monitor recently after just a couple years I figured I join and try to resurrect that bad boy (ACER). Happy to be here and I've already learned a great deal. Thanks for your time! Special thanks to Murishm for this great post.. which applies to newbies and monitors like mine.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,

My name is Porto Gonzales from Holland and I'm just in the beginning phase of the bad cap repairs. I was a bit in electronics but merely car HVAC display repair and modding of old Hifi receivers from a manual volume knob to a motorized one. It began when a friend of mine came to me with 5 Samsung 24" monitors which won't turn on. One youtube video and a couple of new Rubycon/Nichicon caps later and I was my friend's personal 'expert' in Samsung LCD repair! Did some PC power supply's too, also only cap failures which were the cause.

This cap problem fascinated me so much I Googled about it and came across this forum.
