Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Name is Bobby. Work for a company that buys used machines...sometimes junk...in order to tear them down and sell the good parts. I am head of the R&D department which also includes Repairing and Refurbishing Machines. Came here to find out about reprogramming BIOS chips but I'm sure I'll end up learning a lot more than just that here. Hope to also be able to share the small amount of knowledge and experiences that I have to help others out. Let's do this.

New member here. LG 55LW5600 TV just died, so I'm trying to learn something new and fix it. This seemed like a great spot to do it. Looks like I needed an intro to be able to post a thread.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello there!
Found this forum to be a font of useful knowledge, and I am hoping to use that knowledge to fix a plasma that I was given.
Haven't got much experience with electronics yet, but I love to learn new things!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I'm Ron and I'm a hardware and software junkie. I get my fix by repairing old hardware. Everything from old audio equipment like an RE-201 to brand new computers. My hobby is studying hardware and schematics to better understand how they work.

Most recently I discovered this CD3215/TPS65982 chip in new Mac laptops that has some interesting features that make for some complex debug work in repairing boards that won't charge. Thanks to this site I now have a basic schematic that I can go by to help do these mac repairs.

And yes, I'm fairly certain that the CD3215B is a TPS65982. Not sure if people know that or not. The CD3215C might be TPS65986, but I haven't encountered a board with the C variant yet. The only way I would be able to tell is to compare a schematic with whats on the board but it could be either TPS65982 or TPS65986.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi there,

Not exactly new, I opened the account a while back, but this is my second time here. Same problem, different TVs

I'm big on DIY, driven by constant disappointment when I've paid professionals to do things I ended have having to do over myself. I'm confortable disassembling things apart, replacing components and put it back together.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, my name is Michael. You could call me Cow as well. I go by both.

I have always had an interest in fixing electronics. But I have never made the jump from fixing basic hardware issues and software issues. I just finally picked up a cheap starter soldering iron kit. It probably will not work for all applications, but I think it is good enough to get started.

I also have a lot of interest in video game design and card/board game design. I have a degree in these, but I am not fully able to make use of these as I need to pay bills and I don't have enough experience to get with a decent company (plus there aren't any close to where I live).

I would like to find a good place to start working on fixing electronics. I would like to be able to buy something that is broken, look at it, test it and have a good idea of what to do to fix it. I really want to know how electronics work. Why does it work with the circuit board set up the way that it is? I am not really sure where to get started with this as there are a lot of tutorials, books, and educational kits. Being able to modify and/or repair electrical devices would be awesome to do. Maybe getting an Arduino Uno kit would be the best place for me?

Thanks for reading.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,

Just trying to understand what are my best steps to fix a TV. Background in IT and micro-controllers, not so much into mains voltage.

Found the forum searching through Google about the problem I have and possible solutions.

Thank you,
