I'm new to electronics and I'm still only at the level of taking apart old cameras and simple devices and putting them back together. I want to know how yours started so I can get a vague idea of where to get components and how you learned to put them together. |

kind of funny how it began for me honestly — i just touched an old radio out of curiosity and ended up spending hours figuring out why it buzzed when it wasn’t supposed to. from there it was scavenging parts everywhere, dead TVs, broken toys, whatever had a screw in it. most of the components i used at first were literally salvaged junk. later i started buying small kits online and learned by messing things up until they finally worked. your path doesn’t have to be perfect, just follow the curiosity and keep taking things apart. |

Everyone starts somewhere, and taking apart old cameras is actually a great foundation. My own path began with curiosity, broken gadgets, and a lot of trial and error before I understood basic components and circuits. Finding parts became easier once I learned how to read schematics and documentation properly. Tools like ai pdf helped me a lot with manuals and technical guides, making complex PDFs easier to understand. Over time, practice and small projects really added up. |
