Hi everyone
I’m new to the site and hope everyone’s ok.... I’m new to electronics and I’m really wanting to build my own circuits and fault find on electronic circuit boards
Is there any where on this site or others that are really good beginners information to get started from the basics and work my way up ??

 

Welcome to AAC.
Have a look under the "EDUCATION" tab.

Thank you for the reply

 

To learn from this area you will need to ask questions, being certain to describe what it is you want to know. I am happy to share knowledge with any who want to know, and usually I can explain the "why," as well. But I have no mind reading skills at all, and so the question needs to be a bit descriptive.
And welcome to what I find an interesting collection of questions and answers.

 

As an aside, I hate "newbie" and prefer "neophyte". The former is about what is missing, the latter is about what is to come.

 

Welcome. And keep one thing in mind - there are no dumb questions here. If you don't know something - ask. If you think you know something and you're wrong, someone will guide you. Don't be afraid to ask what you think is a stupid question. You don't learn if you don't ask. Or if you make mistakes. Well, that may not be so true - I've made a ton of mistakes and I'm STILL not smart.

I'm so doomed.

And one more piece of advice... After you ask, listen!

You might also want to start watching the "Technical Repair" forum. That's where threads on repairing things show up. You'll notice after a while there are a lot of similarities. Look for the schematic, check for power, inspect the board for burn marks or bulging capacitors, and so on.

 

Hello,

Have a look at the links given in this thread:
Library of old books, magazines and textbooks

Bertus

 

Don't forget OHM'S law, Diptrace or other PCB design programs, Data sheets, La, la,l a.

I a beginner too. The guys here are the greatest, most Amazing help you will ever find. Soooo much talent and knowledge here.
Been here about a year and I'm waiting on a table stand magnifying glass to get here before I start putting my project together. Old Age!!
Can't see to solder those little pins....... And it's lighted too

Also consider that for finding the failed part of a system it is very useful to know how it is supposed to work, and then observe how it is working, and that often points right towards the area of the problem. That approach works for radios, amplifiers, engines, pumps, and stoves. It is also very applicable to assorted industrial machinery and equipment. Of course, for electronic stuff it may be adequate to have a circuit and understand what is happening, or supposed to be happening, in the circuit.
