Thanks!The following provides a fast search facility but is currently only presenton the S.E.R FAQ mirror site at Drexel University which is maintained up todate almost daily.Search the entire Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ forMore Search OptionsSci.Electronics.Repair FAQ SitesPlease check the Home and Mirror SiteLocations page to identify the best site for your needs. This isimportant for several reasons:Not all of these Web sites have the same collection of documents or the same versions of these documents.Accessing a site near your physical position on this planet (or elsewhere) should help to minimize Net traffic and hopefully reduce your World Wide Wait. :-)This will also help to distribute the load among the sites (excessive load was what caused our former RepairFAQ.org ISP to implode).The link below takes you directly to the collection of formatted documents atthis site. This is probably what you want:Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Main Table of Contents (ToC) - Home (RepairFAQ.org)A major portion of the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ is the document:"LASERS: Safety, Info, Links, Parts, Types, Drive, Construction" which has agreat deal of information on a variety of laser related topics includinga comprehensive treatment of diode, helium-neon, argon/krypton ion, and CO2lasers as well as amateur laser construction including numerous examples oftruly home-built lasers. Much of this is not available anywhere else eitheron-line or in print! Yes, I know what you are thinking: "I hadn't noticedthat any of my multitude of lasers were broken...", but so be it. :-)Sam's Laser FAQ - A Practical Guide to Lasers for Experimenters and Hobbyists.This document is also available at many sites worldwide. As above, check theHome and Mirror Site Locations page toidentify the best site for your needs.Silicon Sam's Technology Resource (SSTR)The SSTR documents are where my contributions tothe S.E.R FAQ start out but the large repair guides of the "Notes onthe Troubleshooting and Repair of...." series may not be as nicely formatted(i.e., once Filip gets through indexing and cross-referencing them). Ingeneral, additions to SSTR are minor. Therefore, the solutions to yourproblems are likely to be accessible via the S.E.R FAQ pages - and in a muchmore user-friendly form! However, if you long for the thrill of dealing withraw ASCII (not even brain-dead HTML) or are desperate for bits that are hotoff my computer's hard drive, check out:Silicon Sam's Technology Resource - Comprehensive Repair Guides, Sam's Laser FAQ, Schematics, etc.This collection is also available at many sites worldwide. As above, check theHome and Mirror Site Locations page toidentify the best site for your needs.A word about the philosophy of this site: These pages are declared to be afluff-free zone! There will be no unnecessary, superfluous, or uselessgraphics of any kind - including but not limited to: dancing, gyrating, orother animated icons, colored textured backgrounds that are impossible toread through, or forced downloading of bit intense pictures that may be of nointerest to you. Nor, will I ever expect you to use a particular brand ofWeb browser to be able to effectively access these pages. There are and neverwill be any advertisements, cookies, or other impositions on your time andspace. In the time that it may take wading through a single monstrosity ofthe professional Web page designers at other sites, you will be able to findout what you want to know, when you want to know it! What a concept. :-)(Note, however, that your browser needs to be configured properly to makesense of the many ASCII diagrams, schematics, and tables. See the document:Suggested Browser Settings for font and otherrelated information.)In return for this gold mine of information, please make a serious effort tofind the answers to your questions before contacting me. It may take just awee bit of effort and could stress a few neurons in the process, but there isan excellent chance that what you seek is covered at these sites. Should yoube really stuck, I will respond to email in a timely manner. However, if yourquestion indicates that you haven't even gotten past the Main Menu, AND I amin a good mood, you will get a somewhat polite reply to read the #$%& FAQs.On the other hand, if it is a bad day, and you are really really lucky, youwill probably be ignored. In any case, I expect to be able to hit the replykey for my mail program and not get bounced email. I will not attempt tounjumble any anti-SPAM email addresses! I have posted over 20,000 articles tothe USENET newsgroups using my true email address. (And, you won't pick up SPAMvia private email anyhow.) Yes, SPAM is a pain but I tolerate the smallamount I get so others will not be inconvenienced.Note: I NEVER send email attachments. If you receive a message supposedlyfrom one of my addresses with any sort of attachment, it is bogus and possiblya virus. Someone's address book includes my address and their computer isinfected. Send me the complete headers and I'll attempt to check it out, orjust delete it.Where you have a model specific repair question, it will probably bemore expedient to post a complete but concise description of your problem including manufacturer, model, symptoms, and what you have already tried,directly to the USENET newsgroup:sci.electronics.repair. I reallydon't have access to that much model specific service information - and that isprobably what I will tell you to do anyway! See the document:Troubleshooting and Repair of ConsumerElectronic Equipment for more information. Or, consult a Tech-Tipsdatabase to see if your specific problem has already been solved a milliontimes. See the document: On-Line Tech-TipsDatabases.If you know of something that is incorrect or missing from thissite or simply have comments, friendly complaints, requests, or additions,please make use of the absolutely and positively fabulous
