Bah ... qualifications are often times over-rated. Met plenty of "qualified" dumbasses in my time.
Knowledge is knowledge regardless of who holds it. 
I DIY everything, and I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

Great job on the troubleshooting and repair IG-88.  :cheers:

IG-88:
@ DaOldMan: Yes, it was a great feeling to get it fired up again. Surprised the hell out of the wifey too!

@ Saint: Good call. Maybe I should put one of the BYOAC stickers over the Capital sticker on the front of the unit eh?

@ ark_ader: Not too worried about it causing issues. Took DaOldMan's advice and cleaned it up and covered it. Should be good for a while... Nothing really for it to "burn" where it is anyway.

@ Kevin: Thank-you. I've been doing more and more of this type of stuff all the time. It's crazy how basic things can be if you just take the time to LOOK at them.

SNAAKE:
good job :cheers:

Best thing I ever did was as an "unqualified" hacker--A friend of ours has a kid with CF and when they had insurance he got his boy "the vest" to the tune of $26,000.  So one day it breaks and they call the manufacturer--they tell him $5,000 to fix it  :dizzy:

So knowing that I tinker, they asked me to have a look at at.  $2.50 later it was fixed.  Old blown resistor.  All I asked for was a case of beer--that he helped me drink :cheers:

We have a 37 inch Viewsonic LCD TV/Monitor that won't turn on. I'm inspired to crack it open to try and fix it. Any suggestions?
