Hello,

I found this site because my Vizio XVT473SV TV just decided to stop working. I'm hoping I can use this site to find an inexpensive way to fix it.

Thanks,

New member, hello

I found badcaps while researching some older ELNA's and I am glad I did. Useful tips for troubleshooting electronics are not the easiest thing to find on the internet.
Thanks for having me here, " lax luthier "

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..

Hey I'm just a new beginner in this field and I hope to meet and join in same of the question and support as well.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi

I work on a lot of electronic stuff, mostly test equipment but monitors and TV's now and then. Caps are often the main problem. Find this group has some good info on specific stuff now and then from gooogle searches.

Hopefully I am in now and can view the picts and additional stuff now.

John

P.S. I have attempted to join a few times 2013, 2/26/14, and I think this is a response from an attempt in 2015, I don't know if I was just too impatient, hopefully this works.
