First posting- Ive read the forum rules and agree- seems pretty common sense stuff.
Im posting here as I found some scrap- rather it found me...
So- I am the dude that changes your locks in a forclosure... and also get to clean out some houses too. Joined the GRF because I cleaned out a house and it was loaded with e-scrap. I was interested in gold refining before- but this was a kick in the pants to get busy...
Problem is- I cannot identify much of it as "high or "Low" quality for boards and much of it has already been removed from whatever it was in. Looks like a lot of motherboards and I have about 4 totes of Hard drives (all scrubbed) with one with a TON of music (2 tera-bite) and a bunch of kitty litter buckets of random things (all mixed) I have already sorted all the useable and re-sellable items- the mantra of re-sell anything useable is a good one!
So My question please- is cutting the fingers off the boards and starting there the first order of operations? This seems to be the easiest before de-populating and sorthing components and then gathering the pins from the plugs and connectors.
If this is in the wrong place apologies- still reading and learning Any help is much appreciated for where to start!
