He appears to have been kind enough to put up some of his monitor video content...

Surprised... wonder if he actually put those up or allowed them to be put up?
The other videos by that poster just don't seem to fit in.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

It is definitely possible that someone is posing as Randy Fromm.  The Mailto is at randyfromm.com if that indicates anything.

Yeah and if you look at the profile it lists his age as 106! Something doesn't feel right here. Someone should email Randy and ask about this.

I've seen a lot of people put in clearly impossible age numbers - they don't want their age out there in public info.

The e-mail and web addresses are both correct to Randy Fromm ..... how odd.
I sent him a message asking about it.

He looks quite good for age 106.

Should have numbered them. I feel like I'm watching the Memento version of monitor repair.
I've got a fever...
