I have 5 years in the computer service business, owning my own business. Associated with 5 other very talented computer and networking techs.
Dealing with all kinds of harware issues. Complete tear downs and build back up of laptop and desktop computers. Doing lots of performance upgrades to make things run faster, solid state hard drives, lots of memory upgrades, addition cooling. Custom built 5 display computers for the Day Trader industry.
All software operating systems, Windows and Linux. Lots of software application installs. Lots of debugging, virus removal, better security layouts.
Wifi, on desktop, latops, in home wifi, wifi routers and security. Handling and setting up performance built overclocked wifi routers that were built with additional heat sinks (like our mopar brain boxes are going to be getting) and reflashed with linux dd-wrt firmware.
Wifi over land, sending out and catching the signals. Also worked with the WiMax professional internet service people in my local area.
Helping end users get set up with all types of internet access, starting with dial up, dsl, cable, wimax, fiber optics, then the mobile hot spots too.
Doing lots of service work here in the South Twin Cities area, then through word of mouth was doing remote access service to people all over our country, had 250 people and businesses on remote acess alone.
This was kind of nice cause when I went to the warmer climate locations for the winters I could keep working servicing my remote access customers, and keep the business going.
Not to mention our automobile's 3 onboard computer systems, sensors, and basic diagnostics. These can be some real cans of worms, leading me back to the simpler times of the mopar brain boxes and the first electronic ignition systems of the '70s.
Have had my head under the hoods of cars my whole life, studying how and why they run, basically out of necessity to keep things running. Oddly enough this provided me with the knowledge and how to skills to understand and service today's home and business computers.
Running my '76 D100 Dodge pickup daily driver, with the mopar electronic ignition and mopar brain box. This is keeping me "Future Proof", this simple layout is very easy to keep it all going for years and years to come.
Thanks for everyone's input on the mopar Ignition Control Modules, hoping we can all get to the point where we can bring the reliability way way up.
Nice simple layout, like that a lot !
