Hello,
 I am a self taught computer breaker. I love monkeying around with them. i need a new toy.
I have had a computer since a window was a place to throw a computer out of when it wouldn't do what you wanted. I have not had any formal training, but I can build/rebuild one or repair and replace hardware or software most of the time.
 I have a hp laptop that the factory wanted $400 to replace the power jack in so I dismantled it and did it myself for $40 and I could do it for less the second time. And guess what?, it works now.
 I still have problems that I have to ask questions about, hence my presence here, but I also try to help others when ever I can. I don't think there is a way that one person could know all the ins and outs and how to's of a puter, so we all have to support each other.
 Peace to all.

      Randy
