Hello! I'm Federico, I'm from Italy. I have a M.Sc. in electronics engineering, First time trying to fix a 48k spectrum.
I felt in love with computers back in '86, when the dad of a girl at school offered to teach programming, but I was the only one accepting. And I learned on a Spectrum plus, but never owned one, because my parents didn't want to buy one. I had to write programs on paper and test them on his computer when at lesson!
A few years later I finally had an Olivetti PC128 (clone of Thompson), then a Philips XT, then a portable PS/2... fast forward till today, when I design electronics and software for embedded systems.
Finally, a few years ago I bought a 48k, with the idea of repairing it, but unfortunately I had not the time.
A few days ago I decided it was time to try again, and here I am.
Bye
