Hello! I am a EE in Tennessee -- Hey that rhymes! I have an abiding hatred of SMPS's that always seem to be the thing that fails in consumer electronics and that is what brings me here today.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey, Guys.

I just signed up while searching the web trying to find parts for my Visio TV.

My initials are TC and I was known as "topcat" for many years until I got renamed "MacGyver".

I did TV repair back in the 70's when there were more than 6 parts to a TV.

I have been a broadcast engineer for the past 38 years.

I am also a ham radio operator though my license is still active I have not been on the air in many years.

I guess the fascination of push to talk has been overshadowed by permanently keyed

high powered transmitters.

I used to do TV DX until HD came along and took all of the "fun" out of it.

Hi,
I'm an amateur in electronics repair (well, educated as master engineer I know what it is all about) but I love fixing things. It's like doing the impossible and the reward is free computers, monitors, tvs, you name it. I love it. :-)
