Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi All,

I'm Nick, from London, England. Mainly specialize in Photography, Videography, Lighting & Rigging, but I'll assemble PCs and relays as part of my work and tinker with the odd bit of broken electronics until I either fix it or trash it for good

Look forward to talking to you all!

Good Morning! from the Philippines islands. I'm here a novice to learn from the masters, hopefully become better in electronics repair. I first tasted electricity at 6 y/o while plugging in the TV's power cord awkwardly. Now wondering why I'm still here lol

Hello,

I am from Melbourne in Australia. I am an old dog always learning new tricks. I have a go at repairing most things but electronics is new for me. I guess my soldering skills always held me back....

Hi everyone! Shout out from Seattle. My TV is probably dead, but I'm here for some help and to contribute! I've repaired a sony bravia lcd tv and am now onto a samsung, but I am lost in my own diagnosis! I graduated from UMD as a computer engineer and have some electrical engineering background. Hopefully we can all help each other here! Thanks for having me.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

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 ?
Just want to enter
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..

hellllooo

I am trying to make a post in the appropriate forum but the site still will not let me post. I can't PM anyone so this is my next best approach.

How long does it take to be able to post an issue? I'm genuinely trying to get some assistance. Thanks.
