Welcome to us.
Sadly the refining of e-waste is no quick fix for amateurs.
It is hard even for the pros.
The biggest hurdle is to get a steady supply of material to refine.

Anyway here is something to study before you begin:

Thank you for your reply and the resources. I have been storing old motherboards and scrap for a few years, so have some trial pieces to use.

I haven't given up on working information technology, but I am aware that I have been blocked from jobs by a group of hackers. But I am not motivated to break the law or my moral compass for money. I'm not naïve enough to think "get rich quick" is possible. I am no stranger to financial struggle because identity fraud started when I was in elementary school. Someone older always used my SSN, but I can't get anyone to investigate or protect me. Organized crime that just won't get investigated. No surprises there.

Have a great day.
