Why are you pinging someone else's thread?

Anyway, I was going to suggest badcaps too. Might depend on what you want to repair.

Dave was initially reluctant to open a Repair board but it's become very popular as the forum stats attest:

The wealth of knowledge and experience here shouldn't be underestimated.

I have watched Mr Carlson's lab and TRXbench.

I second the mention of Mr. Carlson's Lab. He's a very nice fellow and has tons of knowledge just dripping out of his ears. His videos are a pleasure to watch!

Can you add what country are you from?
There are many places when you look to repair electronics. From the eevblog, to yahoo groups to the BadCaps forum, edaboard, etc. Depends on what you want to repair. Some boards are not even in english, probably in russian, czech, chinese, spanish, etc. you have to use a search engine to look for what you want to repair and it might take you to the right place.
Last week I was able to repair a Computer power supply that I had sitting in a corner for more than 2 years. I needed something in a hurry to use but I had nothing around so a search took me to badcaps.net, eevblog.com and radiokot.ru. A 100 ohm resistor and 1N4148 diode later the power supply was repaired :)

If you check the OP's profile you'll see he/she is from the US of A and joined us a year ago.
Hopefully they'll add a flag to their profile so we can see where they're from at a glance.  ;)

Hello--

Take a look at...

http://repairfaq.org/

...Which has been in existence for quite a few years but continues to offer good advice.

From a newbie to EEVBlog (who earned his soldering-iron burn scars while repairing tubed radios<g>).
