Hello all:

Name: Ed

Education: Bachelors and Masters in Engineering

27 years and counting with a Major company

30+ years of Entertainment Electronics repair - dating back to Vacuum Tube televisions.........

Fixed equipment for many years for profit.......but never really my main profession. Mostly do it as a courtesy now to my long time customers and too keep stuff out of land fills. Much of what I do is either for minimal payment and much is donated.

Still enjoy repairing items but the requirement just isn't the same any more. Most folks just want a new item.

Hoping I can get some occasional help and can possibly help others.

THX

Ed

Hello, I'm an electrical engineer and I found the site while troubleshooting my Samsung plasma tv. I'll post a detailed question in the TV forum.

Hey, have you made that post yet? I came here originally because of a TC-P58S2 that has been a headache.

Hello All

Mike from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia - home of Crocodile Dundee

Looking for assistance with a recently deceased Panasonic Plasma TV and i see others have been frustrated by this beast in the past.

Loads of Mining experience but relatively new to the mysterious world of electronics and capacitors although I have replaced the clothes dryer cap 2x now after the kids keep overloading the machine.

Looking forward to learning a bit and not forking out mega $$ why the solution is at hand.

Hello , My name is Eric from Sacramento CA. I found this forum due to my LG plasma screen
going out or most likely a board from what I've been reading. I would like to post on here for some help on seeing if I can bring it back to life. The model is a 60PZ550 and I've seen other post for this model so I figure it may have board problems. Also, I noticed someone posted these don't dissipate heat well. Thx

Hi

New member, programmer by trade but hoping to build an arcade machine and so have embarked on trying to resurrect various old(ish) tv's.
I know some basic electronics, but I never got into it the same as computing so hoping to get some advice.

I hail from the colder part of Australia (Melbourne) where we're famous for.... well rain mostly.

Hi,

Mostly just browsing around for information on motherboard capacitors. When they say things like "Dark Caps" with MSI or "10K Black" with Asus it hardly seems like useful info I can search for and find out more. So here I am.
