Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Afternoon everyone,

Found this forum while searching for information on repairs. I have a couple of items from a particular company that if i was to get repaired by someone else i might as well buy new, so after watching and reading a ton, I'm going to give it ago myself nothing to lose everything to gain.
I have successfully repaired a few things from this company in the past.

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 ?

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..

hi everyone

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone, I found this place while searching for monitor repair info and it's clearly an excellent resource. I've been tinkering with electrical and electronics since a kid, using computers since the early 80's (yes, punch cards), and hack with just about everything else from home repair, cars, woodworking, metalworking, landscaping.

Hope to have some fun here, to learn, and hopefully offer some help back to the community. RJ

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey folks. I'm Lan. Just a student in biological sciences (ex-physics major. Dropped due to RL commitments) who finally made the dive to learn some basic electronics skills recently. I'm hoping to improve and would love to learn from yall.

Other stuff about me: I love mma and have been an avid fan since I was in middle school (GSP at the time was about to fight Matt Serra to reclaim his WW title) and I'm also extremely interested in the theory and science of senescence and methods to retard it.

Hi Everyone!
I'm a retired systems analyst/programmer turned PC support specialist for friends, family and fellow Church members. I am an amateur audio technician and am all into Harley's, chainsaws and guns! I don't do a lot of forum interaction as I'm often on the phone helping someone out or neck deep in some PC or audio equipment issue. I'm hoping to gain a bit of technical guidance here and, if possible, share a bit of my own experience as well if needed.
