Broviken here.

I've been working with electronics on the side "since Shep was a puppy". My day jobs have been in Electronic manufacturing and Heavy Forging and tank building.

A bit more free time now and I am trying to work off some of those projects I was going to do "when I get a round tuit" like fixing 3 Samsung Multisync 204B monitors that I loved but which failed very prematurely and I couldn't abide getting rid of them so they are under the bench.

Looking forward to getting help and helping others where I can.

Hello everyone,

I am Frank, French and actually living in southern Thailand, on a small island called Koh Samui. I have no shiny diploma to present, I am not an engineer, I never studied electronics or computer engineering I am just a passionate computer (Apple, OSX) user. I am also into iOS and Android.
I fix those little machines and am sometimes stuck trying. I am here to learn so If I ever talk to you guys, I'll probably be asking for advice so thank you for your patience and most appreciated help :-)

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi guys,

I'm 17 and have always loved everything about electronics. Especially hardware, unfortunately I'm just now starting to have the option to truly get into it though. I'm working on starting a business fixing tvs and such even though it's a dying trade around where I live. I'm a moderate gamer I guess you could say. I love dungeon defenders, if anyone here plays find me on steam (same username). I'd say more but I'm not very good at introductions.

New to the forum

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said \"w00t.. they have a forum\"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

I'm new to the forum and will be looking to fix a Vizio with a power problem...oh boy!
