How to Scrap a Computer 

You're scrapping a newer computer than the one I actually use.

Yes very helpful. The board sort website alone I extremely helpful

Thank you for praying in the name of Jesus and not being afraid to do that publicly. Amen to your prayer.

I was not expecting a prayer at the end but man that really warmed my heart. God bless you sir! Thanks for the video

Get a cheap used laptop and a cord to connect and look through hard drives. So many people back in the day would get Bitcoin when it was worth less than a penny and forgot about it. Ive found a few here and there when scrapping old computers.

Wonderful video. Thanks for clearly explaining everything. You're truly doing the Lords work by keeping our planet just a little bit less contaminated by these toxic components. I think scrapping should be a mandatory high school graduation requirement, our landfills would be much less full and our planet would be happier. God Bless you brother.

That video card is not classified as a "slot processor". Boardsort calls it "Gold Finger Card Clean NO Fan NO Sink NO Bracket" and it goes for $4.90/lb. The little "mosfets" are actually copper, not brass. So, they should go for a bit more. If you only have a few, you can hit them with a hammer to break off the plastic and throw them in with #2 copper. That was a great breakdown with weights and prices at the end. Well done. Amen

Amazing video! We also want videos about extracting pure Palladium , Rhodium and Platinium from ewaste and extracting silver from CDs

Great Video on the entire process and value breakdown. You should do the same for laptops. Maybe a small one(cheaper) and a bigger one(higher processing power) for comparison.

I am a hobbyist scrapper and I appreciate that you truly try to scrap it all and leave the least amount of waste going to the landfill. It doesn't hurt to make a few bucks when all is said and done. Ome quick question: when I scrap a laptop motherboard I am uncertain about the hold colored fingers that connect to the battery. I use a hard drive magnet to pick them up but I can easily shake the gold colored tabs off. Could it be brass type alloy or can it really be gold plated or may be some type of stainless steel? Or do I just put them on my tin shred bin? Thanks for all the great info and prayers are refreshing as well

I'm show me the scrap yards are getting hip to E-Waste or the local E-Waste guys are going to the scrap yards and having a and having a chat or trying to become partners or something but the one scrap yard that's close to me that I just started going to I found out that they can take PC and TV monitors 15cents lb but only 3 a month so will take me ouple months 🤣

i wish i have close access to sell to boardsort. I got a bunch of motherboards. video cards, rams, HD boards that i need to find a buyer. Our scrap yard pays 10 cent/lb on circuit boards, regardless of quality

Where can I sell about 100lbs. of industrirl electronics(high quality)

😮that looks like a i5 dell optiplex idk but i know they still sell for 100$ or more

That was a detailed video. Nice and methodical and great explanations as to what everything is and what it's worth. I wish we had a boardsort of types here in NZ. The closet is Auckland, and it's over an hour to get there, and they require a minimum of 100kgs worth of boards.

Great video my friend. Only correction is the slot processor is a gold finger card with no heatsink ,fan and bracket. Great job.

🤙🤙👍 good info,i got probly $750 worth i need to send off,or i just keep hoarding and they can sell it off when i gone 😁✌️

I remove the board,top and magnets out of the hard drive and then i sell it as a giant fidget spinner for 3$.

Very good video my friend. I just did a similar tear down. Wish I would have had your tips before. Thanks for the prayer for our brothers and sisters in Maui 😎😎🔥🔥⛏⛏

We take ps with or without wire. Wire adds up in value if you have a lot

I brought in about 5 pounds of those small motors from hard drives and cooling fans and my yard said they dont take them because they sre too small. Down here in southern Louisiana we get royally screwed by the scrap yards. I have 3 EMR scrap yards near me and they are all different prices.

You're a few months ahead of me on the Ewaste. Really enjoyed and appreciated this video!

Great video. That one card was not s slot processor it was a dvi video card. It is considered a gold finger card. You did the right thing removing the heat sink and bracket

That board you are calling a slot processor is actually a GPU or Graphics Card/Graphics Processor. Might be worth more if you put it in correctly?

Thanks for the video!

How much is shipping to the company?

Watched it again lol

Can you do this with a laptop.

Scrap yards are middle men they will give you a fraction of what its worth

Dude you're getting a Dell 😂

at 10:26 , what kind of cutters are those , I like em

How's every'body' doing > Answer RESTING IN PEACE - as every BODY is buried in the cemetery. You have NOT YET learned the difference between every'one' and every'body' The obvious question has escaped you. SO -- ask yourself this simple question: How many of YOU are there in existence on this earth ? IF it so happens that YOU are the only one that is and ever will be in existence Then you are some 'One' Now write an essay on the importance and significance of 'One' It is about 8 lines of text My youngest students age 8 completed the essay successfully. It is doubtful you could do it. I would suggest that these students age 8 are academically more advanced than you Prove every'one' wrong by writing the essay - so others who are clueless can learn. 8 lines of text - very simple Good luck

That is not a slot processor ))) that is a video card, VGA )))

RU-vid made me watch this again lol when I’m working I just have the tv 📺 on auto play

That was a good breakdown, my friend. I wish we had a place like boardsort to sell to, but that's life and we all can't have everything. With the hard drive, would it even be worth shipping? That's a long trip.

Thank you 🙏 24:44

Excellent information/cheers

thank you for the educational video, would like to see you tear down a harddrice, i have problems with some parts to remove off the most of them. Have a nice week see you in the next video!

One minute i hear your raptor critters in the background, then i hear planes? Wish i was out in the country somewhere!

Good video

P>S> thanks. business owner turned to scrapper because covid.

excellent video, great prayer, good man. thank you, God bless you

Congratulations on getting more views than shark scrapper way to go 😊

Amen!

I don't think that is a slot prosser. The only way they have those is if there is no cpu

The reader eye in a cd drive can have gold in them in the form of ic chips and gold plated Diodes.

Yeah Thank You for helping me with ewaste. Amen and amen

Thanks for the info. I'm new to e waste as well. This video made it easier to understand,

You'd make far more if you learnt to recover the gold yourself

Nice break down video, newer computers are so much easier to get at.

OMG!!! Thankyou for showing board sort and doing camparison. wife is yelling at me because have things to d0 so i will save video to my scrapping playlist and come back. but real quick ios is worth to pay shipping for this stuff. or how in your experiance most cost effective way of shipping.

Great video I love watching computer scrap out 😁👍

Thanks for that! I love how you break down all the weights & dollar amounts at the end

Great tear down and explanation of what's worth what! CheeRs

Thanks for making this video! I wish I came across more computer towers. Lots of good stuff all in one place, and they're so much fun to take apart. And, as always, thanks for the blessing at the end of your video!

Really good video bro. Great info and break down

👍🙏

❤

Thanks for the video, it helps me 👍🏼

Thanks for teaching me how to rip apart a pc

Fantastic info as always brother

Another's great break down brother !!

The answer is different for everybody. But in my opinion it is: Pick the cherries of what you find for free in some hobby free time and get something else as a day job. Scrapping is really hard work and not a very reliable source of declining income. Scrap becomes less valuable today. For PCs that means for me: Pick Ram, cards, CPU (cooler only when there is significant copper on it), gold corner BGAs (hit it with a blow torch for 3 seconds and knock it off), hard drive, cut the wires off the PSU and leave the rest. This way you extract 80% of the value in just a couple of minutes. You leave behind some steel and a low grade board with the most valuable chip taken off it.

Do you buy Sata and Non Sata boards.

Great video my friend

Good video till the nonsense at the end

That’s great! I appreciate the information! That’s funny when you thought you made a mess but it worked out for you!

Great video sir

I may have to start looking into ewaste more. Very nicely done.

great video

Amen Brother!

Excellent!

you're missing out on certain components such as power supplies capacitors and such. It's worth learning to desolder and salvage them.

Oh wow! They have pictures

Great video buddy!

Great video

that's why vintage computers are getting expensive, are getting rarer and rarer every year.

God Bless 🙏 you James you are a Great Christian Blessing to RU-vid . James Anderson

First-time watcher here. I'll be scrapping over 100 computers soon. Thank you very much for all of the info. The prayer in the end was not expected. Keep it up brother!

I appreciate the breakdown and the closing prayer. God bless

Great info and video. I've collected a bunch of circuit boards of all types and sizes and been wondering what to do with them. (Sized from small alarm clocks to big tv's) God bless you and what you do.

Good day from Ontario. Interesting video. I was hoping for more, but that is life. A little at a time . E waste up here is .10/pd. I pick up flat screen tv hoping I can use it, son says get rid of it Phoned scrap yd & they said .10/pd. Have ever taken a flat screen apart ? Thanks Those transformers on computer, I seen were they made small welders.
