Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello to all. Guess you could call me a young old timer. Had my electronics course in the late '60s. So I began with tubes and transistors. Worked for a major telephone company. Started as a tech and ended as a assistant project manager in the IT dept. Am now a pensionner. To get busy I started repairing and or updating my friends pc's. Been owning pc's since the mid '80s. I also learned and programmed in basic, cobol and fortran. Lately I started looking at TV's since my nephew's TV went bad and a friend of had trouble with his tv. I am here to find, hopefully, answers to my questions relating to TV repair. So here I am, to learn and seek knowledge from experts in the domain.
Bets regards,
Gerry

Hi everyone!
This forum pops up in all my searches for undocumented laptop ICs. It's been a long time since I joined a forum of any kind. I'll give it another try.
Cheers!

Bad caps has always helped me trough many of my repairs and I hope to finally contribute with some of my knowledge to this amazing community.
I have been doing electronics repair for about 7 years now and every day is a new day to learn something new.

Hello: i'm mikeB(muscmp is my user name). i'm a musician who has decided that i can't afford to pay to have my guitar and audio amps repaired so i am learning to do it myself. i've already completed most of my guitar amps and am now tackling the audio amps. i've already finished a sansui sax200 stereo receiver and am presently working on a scott 299a integrated amp. next will be a couple of dynaco st70s, a couple dynaco pas2 preamps and a dynaco fm3 tuner(that needs the emm801 magic eye tube). after that will be some radios. whew! i'm learning a lot but heard how good this site is so thought i'd join and learn more.
thanks,
mikeB

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 ?

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..

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,

I am new here. I am in the computer business for more than 13 years, but I am starting with hardware now.

Up to now I am experienced in Windows XP, Vista, Seven (a little bit less in 8 and 10 - I just do not like them).

MS Server Systems 2003 R2 and 2008 R2

I also specialize in routing, firewalls, and cellular data transfer.

I also know a little bit more about setting up printers and scanners (local and network) than more IT service man.

I am self employed for over 8 years now.

I am happy that I found this website because there is a drawing of a motherboard someone brought to me for a repair.

Best regards to all of you, especially for the founder.

Apart form that I love the All Might One.
