There is a FAQ for the Sci.Electronics.Repair Newsgroup!
Sam Goldwasser
The Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ at www.repairfaq.org (and its mirror
sites) provides a series of comprehensive repair guides for consumer
electronics equipment and other household devices. These include:
small appliances, audio, CD players and CDROM drives, monitors, VCRs,
IR remote controls, microwave ovens, printers, SMPSs, electronic flashes and
strobes, even small engines and lawn mowers, and much more. There are
also documents on testing of capacitors, semiconductors, flyback
transformers; pinouts for common chips used in VCRs and other
consumer electronics equipment; common problems with RCA/GE/Proscan and
Sony TVs; CRTs and deflection systems; and 100 Repair Briefs covering common
problems and solutions.
There is also a great deal of other information of general interest to the
electronics hobbyist, experimenter, technician, engineer, and possibly
even the dentist and poet. Included is the now quite comprehensive
and massive collection of laser and optics information called Sam's
Laser FAQ, many new schematics, and links to over 1,000 technology
related sites. In addition, there are a variety of documents from
other sources on electronics troubleshooting, repair, and other
related topics.
Please check this resource out BEFORE posting a question to this
newsgroup. Those who frequently reply to requests for help here are
happy to answer if you are really stuck but take some time to do a
little bit of research first! You might even learn something in the
process. :-)
