HMCs Tech Lab

Welcome to HMCs Tech Lab—a real-time journey from rookie bench to real repairs.

I’m teaching myself electronics repair the hard way: probing, measuring, and learning in public. Focus: dead GPUs, consoles, and other “probably toast” tech.

This channel is honest. You’ll see what worked, what didn’t, and why—no edits to hide the mistakes. Saddle up—this is the long road to competence.
