A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:

Hi, thanks for a great forum

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello All,

Just found this site via searching for problems with my Samsung TVs. Apparently, they might make really good smartphones but their TV's are lacking as I've had 2, now, Large TV's of theirs last only 3-5 years. I'm not a technician, but I grew up with an electrician father who worked on and repaired quite a lot around the house and I was always there with him to help so I sort of know my way around a Multi-meter and I think I'm pretty decent with troubleshooting and figuring out things. Not much else to say about me. Ordinary average guy. 1 wife, 1 son, 2 dogs.

Hopefully soon, Ill be able to post my problem on the board and get help figuring out which board needs to be replaced.


Thanks
John

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi to all. I am a complete newbie to the world of fixing a tv, but I am willing to read and learn if you folks will lead, guide and direct. I have already been reading posts and you guys like good clear pictures with model numbers and sometimes board nunbers. Pictures are not easy for me because I don't have a digital camera and my phone struggles to connect to my computer. I have lots of tools to work with, an ohm meter, a soldering iron, magnifying hood, a Honeytek meter I am supposed to use to check capacitors, and tweesers and hemostats. Enough about that stuff my name is Ralph but folks call me Buffalo or Buffy if I am out slaying vampires LOL. Thanks in advance for allowing me to join and learn at your knees.
