Hi everyone,

I found this forum after looking for ways to fix a Sharp LCD TV (LC-32AV22U) and finding this thread on Google (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26048).

The community looks legit and I'm sure I will be frequenting here often.

Hell All,

I started fixing my tvs and now I am a part-time tv repair tech. There are still a lot to learn. I found this website is a very useful resource, even for an experienced tv repair technician.

I hope this is the place and can learn from all of you and also share my humble experience and knowledge when possible.

Hi all - stumbled on this site looking for connection details to a camera that's laying around at work. It helped so thought I'd stick around for a while I've been playing around with electronics ever since I burned my fingers on a tube in my parents B&W TV.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey all! I like to fix stuff, rather than throw it.

Last thing I fixed was my RT-N16 router which had a bad cap; working like new now!

I am now in possession of a 24" LCD which isn't working correctly so I found a thread on here which I'm hoping will assist me with a fix.

Cheerio!

Hi my name is Gary and I'm a junk collector. I find things that look in good condition and try to fix them, then I give them away. After all I did get it for free and whats the cost for a few parts to fix it? I'm not in business so I can't warranty it. I know people to this day that can't afford a flat screen TV and they work their butts off so SURPRISE I picked this thing off the curb and several caps later it works. AMAZING! Still amazed that I get things to work. Oh sure I get zapped from time to time but when it's my time to go at least I know it won't hurt. How do I know this? Well back in the tube days I pulled the cap off the power tube to ground it (that was around 10:30 am) well their was this pretty whitish blue light that went off in my head. I got up off the floor around midnight, oh sure my right arm clear up to the top of my head throbbed, but that's because I was alive! Some might call it luck that that metal shelf was inches from the right side of my head, then again!?! I'm happy I found badcaps because I'm tinkering with a fairly new flat panel junk tv I picked off the curb.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Well I am new to this technology forum. I started with computers with the original Macintosh. I have a little experience with components but am certainly out of my league here. I found a Samsung B2330 on craig's list that has a dim screen. I am retired from GM from their engineering staff mostly working with durability issues at the desert proving grounds in AZ. Did a few searches and found that the capacitors were a common problem. Can't see anything visual with the capacitors so of course I am looking for additional help. I paid $10 so I'm not out much - just looking to learn and stay active after retirement. Glad to be with such a vast mount of experience. Thanks
