I too am a new member, not a professional tech more of a hobbyist, so if I ask something stupid or too obvious please forgive me!

I'm new this forum, not a professional tech, but a TV news photographer, and storm chaser.
I've been picking up broken LCD and LED tvs from thrift stores and repairing them as a hobby!

I am a newbie here. I completely forgot that I registered for this account back in 2014 but I haven't posted until now.

If I could please get my account setup so I can I post a question regarding a monitor issue that would be great.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

I am from Alsace in France and live there since almost 30 years. I studied chemistry, which has some relationship with electronics indeed. My new and recent hobby is to go deeper in electronics stuff in order to repair and create some new stuff ! I like to understand things and know how they work.

My most recent work is to repair some switching power supply and I also bought some used oscilloscope (Metrix Ox803B) which seems out of calibration.

Nice forum with lots of information, happy to be on board ! and give some contribution.

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..

Sounds great you are a real asset to the community we all look forward to cooperating and working together and hopefully sharing a few brews at the local pup. Many thanks for your service and dedication to this community.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Ullo.

New to this forum...
I have some experience in electronics and repair work.
I'm currently working on a Panasonic TX-P50V10 plasma TV with the infamous 7... you know... which brought me here :-)
(will post my results as they crop up).

Cheers!

PS.: if anybody in this forum has tips on SC-board related repair, I'm all ears :-)
(I'll get into the specifics in my comments on the threads that are relevant to the subject)

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi my name is Scott and I just joined because I have an LG plasma TV that just died and was searching for help on how to fix it and came across these forums which seem like they could be useful. I know a little bit about TV repair, and have a cheapy multi-meter and have been able to eliminate the power supply board as the cause for my dead plasma, but I was unable to find something obvious on the other boards in the TV, no puffed caps or smoke stains or holes in ICs or transistors, etc. So I will try and start a new thread with more info about my TV issues after this intro post is accepted.
