Hi, Sorry kinda off topic, Does anyone know any GOOD electronics repair sites? Specifically home recievers? More specifically Pioneer Recievers. Any sites like this one that has good support, no cost, and realistic answers. Searching on Google, just thought this may be a good place to ask. TIA CJAE Much thanks to any replies

We are computer technicians. We don't know anything about electronics. We just swap parts. ;-)

Yes, there's nothing more dangerous than a computer technician with a soldering iron in one hand and a circuit diagram in the other! :-) Stuart

G'day, As an old practising engineer, I don't have any internet links that I use particularly for repair and maintenance, most of my info is in my head or in text books.. However, I did a quick google and came up with these links that might help you on your way: http://www.elexp.com/links.htm http://www.epanorama.net/links/repair.html http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ If you are particularly interested in receivers and the like, then you might want to visit the audio sites (I think Johnoh gave you one) or grab some electronics magazines from your local library or newsagent. It does depend a lot on which country you hail from, but most of my electronics expertise was gained in the UK with such magazines as Wireless World, Practical Electronics and Elektor to name but a few. Also, visit the manufacturers sites (ie Pioneer) for info on their products. Without experience, you will almost certainly require a user manual and circuit diagram of the unit showing you the expected voltages, frequencies and other details pertinent to the unit. regards, Elric
