circuit boards

[dthoreson81]

While removing chips from a computer board, there seemed to be some wire that "pulled up" with the chip. It was the kind that is flat against the board with a yellow arrow in the corner. The board itself is full of the wires that were pulled up.

A) are the wires worth saving?

B) How would I process them? Grind up the boards and somehow separate the wire? ???

What is the best way to process flatpacs (black 'chips' from the circuitboards) for the traces of gold they contain???

The wires from the boards that stick to the flatpaks are copper traces.

so, from what im hearing, the best way to process the black flatpacks is to crush them, and then...?
