Silver from computers?

[corijohnson]

My husband has wrapped his head around the idea that you can salvage Silver from computer boards. I think this is poppycock. Opinions?

 

[Colster]

As usual, your husband is right!

They say - Behind every good man is a good woman, it only took me 40 years to find mine.

Your husband is right, there is silver, along with other precious metals to be recovered from pc boards.

I owe him 5 bucks. Shoot. I knew you could get gold, but i didn't think you could get enough silver to do anything with, just trace amounts.

Should have taken it out in trade - barter bucks.

There's actually way more silver (about 5 times as much from the yield data I've been able to collect over time) than gold in computer scrap.

Mrs. Corijohnson:

There is many silver in computers...the keyboard has 0.5 gr of silver...the solder has 5% of silver,some other elements,like capacitors, have silver too.

Anyway...pay that 5 bucks to your husband,convince him to buy $5 of scrap keyboards,recover the silver,sell it,convince him to reinvest the money,manage the bussiness by your own,give your husband some bucks for whiskey and cigars and in a few months you will be rich.

Kindest Regards.

Message to Mr. Johnson:
Dear Sir,if you work hard that whiskey could be "Chivas Regal" and the cigars could be "Cohiba".Have a nice day.

Juan Manuel Arcos Frank, my dear sir! You have exceptional taste in goods!

I salute you!

A little tidbit that is unknown by the masses. Whiskey, when scotch is the topic of discussion, is spelled without the "e" "whisky".

Thank you. We'll discover how to recover our riches together. Also: Don says "Nice Taste."

I keep it in mind about "whiskey" and "whisky"...Do you like Bourbon?.How about Jack Daniel´s,proudly made in USA?.

Have a nice day.

Mrs. Johnson:

Well,here we are if you decide to recover the silver in computers.

About Cohiba cigars you must know that they are banned in USA,so probably your husband will want to get them traveling to Cuba....do not ever let him to go alone because Cuba is a paradise for single men and there is much silver in old cuban coins.

Best regards.

I've been known to tip a glass of green or black, but my favorite is either Crown Royal (Canadian whiskey) or Chivas.

Have a nice day.

You, too, Manual. 8)

Yet another reason to respect Harold.
His judgment of fine whiskey!

If any of you love whiskey, you must try Crown Royal.

I love a good drink as much as anyone but to return this thread to being about Silver from computers, could we post pictures of the Silver sources that each of us find. That way through documenting our finds other members like myself might be more successful and not throw that capacitor away.

All of the brand names mentioned are good but in respect to that area "Beauty is in the pallet of the connoisseur".

we started something like that here: http://www.goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5315&p=45342#p45342
i dont know why but pictures disapeared, and unfortunately i must abandon idea of putting that file together for some time as i have some problems to solve first and dont have enough time to continue. i will finish that eventually and post it here but i have to concentrate on another things for a while.

Where is the "the keyboard has 0.5 gr of silver" silver in a keyboard?

I just took one apart. I found 2-3 layers of some plastic sheet made into a circuit board, a sheet of Fe and a very small amount of #2 Cu wire. Is the silver in the plastic sheets?

 

[Harold_V]

Is the silver in the plastic sheets?

Yes.

[pinwheel]

Dang I just threw the first one into the tip.

I guess I have to go dumpster diving tomorrow.

Is the weight across both the sheets or all in one sheet? Is the recovery process the same as photographic plates?

Do they sell as scrap by unit or weight?
