General info
It is your
responsibility to read all the information on this page which includes posting
guidelines!
Please note this list is only for technicians of consumer electronics. The
responses will be directed towards other technicians.
The fee to join our repair list is $20.00. This is a one time fee to help
offset the cost for us to provide this forum for you.
You can also join our web based forum to post your questions located at www.intrepid-video.com/forum
Here again, this forum and mailing list are for technicians only. If you are a
consumer and try to post a question on how to repair your own products, the
responses will be geared toward technicians, so if you do not know how to test
components, this information will not help you.
You can send $20.00 payment to:
Intrepid Video TV/VCR Repair
support at intrepid-video.com
or call 717-939-7708
Don't forget to include your email address with your payment.
Be advised, if you unsubscribe from our list and decide to join again later,
you will have to pay the $20.00 fee again. If you wish to not receive emails
for a period of time, such as you are going on vacation, there is an option to
set for NO MAIL and you can remove this option when you are ready to receive
email again.
When you get your welcome email after joining, you will need to record(or change) the password that is sent to you.
Failure to follow the following guidelines could result in removal from the
list with NO REFUND. If there is something you do not understand, please ask
and we will make every attempt to help.
These guidelines apply to all email lists.
If you are a consumer, we do not have time to give you detailed instructions
on how to repair or operate your electronic equipment. Most manufacturers have
web sites where you may obtain owners manuals and authorized service centers.
I do not want to have a lot of rules on this list. All I ask is that you show
one another respect when answering a request for help. You may voice your
opinion, but do not belittle other technicians. Be mature. There are a few
things I ask each list member to keep in mind:
1. Please do not cross post to other lists. This creates
confusion as the other lists will send out bounced emails to those that are not
members. If you open new mail windows, you can copy and paste your message in
each of the new mail windows and send each one separate.
2. Please always include original text when you reply to someone.
Some members receive well over a hundred emails per day. It is not that hard to
do. If you need help with this, please email me. ------------
3. Please be sure your posts are in plain text. We do not
allow HTML emails as some members can not read them in their email programs.
This site explains how to configure your email client to send in plain text.

4. This is a professional mailing list, not a chat room or instant messaging. Please use caps and proper punctuation. The easier it is to comprehend your post, the more likely you'll get responses.
5. Please include a signature file in each email you send
or at least you name. In most email programs, this can be added automatically,
you just have to set it up one time.
6. When you press “reply”,
your message will go to the list. If your reply will do the list no good,
we ask that you send a private reply. If
someone has test equipment for sale, please respond privately, then the seller
can post when the product is sold. Please keep idle chit-chat to a minimum by
replying to the individual.
7. Please provide all the necessary information when posting to the list. A description like "Set is dead", is not enough to go on. The more information you provide, the more likely others will want to help. Things like voltage measurements, wave forms and parts you found bad are totally relevant pieces of information.
If you do not read and follow these guidelines, you will not be allowed to
post.
