Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm thinking of getting into electronics repair and thought this would be a good forum to learn. I'll be reading into this a lot and try to contribute in whatever way I can. Thank you

New to the forum and looking for help with my Samsung tv

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

It is my absolute good fortune finding "badcaps.net," and pleasure being a part of this forum.

My name is Kevin, Electronics enthusiast and practicing Technician for over twenty (20) years, and I'm still fascinated by the field.

In 1991, I completed a two year full-time course in Radio & Electronics Servicing, RES, and received in-depth exposure to the Superheterodyne receiver, and the principles of semi-conductor theory. From then on, I performed repairs on every form of domestic audio and AV electronic equipment. From 2000 - 2011, when I came to the US from Guyana, I had specialised mostly on TVs, but also assembled and upgraded desktops and laptops.

Definitely would like to learn about Software, and its use in TV repairs, and am happy to share all I've learned over the years.

MORE POWER TO OPEN SOURCE.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I need to make my first post in order to start a new thread, so might as well introduce myself here:

My name is Alex, I live in Brampton, Ontario. I am currently a student at UofT studying computer science. Although my studies say otherwise, I am fascinated with electronics and learning how complicated boards and ICs work. Look forward to the knowledge I'll gain from the help of this community.

Hello,

I am Alexandre, from France, 32 years. I am not an electronics enthusiast, just a computer technician who wondered if he could repair an old monitor by himself. I just registered to get more information as the repair is already done but with some remaining symptoms that I don't have any idea of what it can be.

Still, the repair process was interesting and maybe I will do some electronic stuff in the future. I guess that this forum can help me for that with all the already available information in there

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, I have been interested in electronics for many years and enjoy repairing broken equipment of almost any kind. After obtaining a stereo binocular microscope I can now see those pesky SMD components to replace them.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello, been on and off Badcaps over the years and wanted to thank the admins and posters for putting out the information that lead me today to getting a new netgear switch to replace my 6 year old one that failed. Well done, and thanks! I hope I can return the favour to someone else.

New Members Intro for Techman54

As indicated in the Title, Im a newby here and not quite sure how to navigate this site, but I'm gonna learn.

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:
