Hello scrappers and planet lovers. This video will show you how to sort and identify if your circuit board, also known as e-waste, is low, medium, or high grade value. If you want to buy me a hot beverage: PayPal.Me/TinManScrapper
Tin Man, I just want to thank you so much for your simple explanations on scrapping!! For a beginner, I've learned so much from you!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help us make scraping easier!! Your awesome!!!
Thank you! I just did my first board tonight. I didn’t get a whole bunch, it was just a dish network box lol but I’m listening and learning from you! Keep the videos coming! Watching you all the way down in Alabama!
I take the heatsinks, transformers and copper / aluminium coils, wire off. Put any plastic covered transformers, copper coils in the freezer, it makes the plastic brittle and easier to smash up.
Thank you for making this video it's very helpful thoughtful and managing through my through my solutions of vitals I have I like how you explain each item and what it may contain I'll be looking forward to future videos
Hello, Sweden here again. I also take off some of the gold plated material, have a buyer for that. My regular yard pays flat rate for circuitboards, the other yard takes high grade boards only if 100kg minimum. Those white slots on the red board, they do have gold but it's very lightly plated and it's gold over nickel over bronze so it's a different process and difficult to refine at home. Stay safe and take care.
Tin man: what are header pins from circut boards made of? Silver or aluminum? These are the pins in the long plastic- that are solder to the board where a slave connector or ribbon conects. Thanks
Eventually I will use nitric acid and separate the silver from the rest of the materials. However, you need to store up a lot before you do it for enough to get a nice size bullion
Hey at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> those plastic boxes (volt relays) are worth cracking open they have copper and sometimes gold or gold contacts
I think you gave great info but am just starting out if you could do a full detail of which is what on the boards for newbie pls I know other scrappers know what everything is but some are just learning pls
Does anyone have any experience with selling all grades of scrap boards and processors to FCM in Montreal? It is difficult for Canadians as I live in a border community but you basically have to part the sea to get them into the States. I would prefer anywhere along the 401 corridor . I live 100 km west of London Ont. Any feedback would be helpful. I took about 6000 lbs three years ago to Greentec in Cambridge, but that didnt go very smooth.
At my yard yes, since I don’t get much for them. I think it depends on yard, but if it is a pile of boards, I say yes everywhere. They just might not give high grade
I actually have a video called “depopulating circuit boards for gold, palladium, silver” check that one out. It talks about micro scrapping as well as shows you places to find the precious metals and what to look for.
I am sorting through thousands of electronics lately. I got a deal working for an elderly man and he owned his own business repairing high grade barcode scanners. I am finding a lot of high grade. At first I was taking each one apart. Then found out using a hammer is faster since Im scraping them anyways
I have TVs, PC towers and Laptops, one scrap yard pays for laptops as of 2023 Jan $3 each if complete screen not cracked (or 25 cents a pound) , another scrap place gives me 60 cents a pound. Desktops same thing $3.50 to $5 each if includes a hard drive and memory stick. the TV boards I think were 35 cents a LB. I might start cutting the contacts off the edge, but so far I have just been scrapping them as is. Oh and TVs no one takes because of the glass, just pull the boards.
Hi! I'm a brand new beginner at this and I've been trying to get the circuit board listed in a different RU-vid video. Is there an alternative to this green pcb board for building diy mp3 player in the following? Video is simply called How to make Mp3 player at Home ! By Mr. Maker. Feel free to check it and get back to me. I'm so clueless. Thank you for help!
At my scrapyard I have brought them in completely destroyed and they take them. I put them in a big bag. It may vary by province or country, but I think the yards are more concerned with the materials on the board and the metal recovery than the condition of the board. If your hare separates your board into the 3 categories, taking stuff off may downgrade your board but that is it
I save boards but had no idea what to do with them. I heard there was a company that you could send them to called board sort. Doesn’t pay much. I'm wondering though if you could go to a jewelry store and they could melt and buy from you(we have some around us that buy gold). I'm not sure if they would take gold from boards but might be worth checking into if you have those kinds of places there.
They would say not enough. I have seen some use high concentrated vinegar to dissolve the gold off the board parts. I am going to have to try that. I am not sure if board source.com would take from me in Canada. Shipping would probably be insane.
I have a local ewaste buyer near me in Texas. They treat it like a scrap yard and will buy whatever you bring them. I’ll store up a 55gallon drum and then take it in,
I’m very confused are you telling me that all I have to do is save 1 pound of the gold on mother bolts and I can get $60,000? Since that’s the price for gold for 1 pound
Are there toxic chemicals in these when the board breaks? Should gloves be worn? I want to collect all the Silver and avoid the Middle Man. I know there is good money to be made. I worked in a Print Shop and silver was extracted from " fountain solution" . In Printing- Oil ( The Ink) and Water ( Fountain Solution) don't mix ( they separate).
it does depend on how you break them, I use a pair of tin snips and it does not release any type of dust. However, if you use a grinder, there is dust that becomes airborne and you will want to wear a mask and have a ventilated area for protection
Um e waste eh but your grading it as materials. Thought it was component recycle/re use.. And every component has their uses different scraper all to gether not just metals... common their messing up the recycling of lithium.. look up black gold and pay attention till they say it gets burned off
your scrapping guides are very primitive, all you focus is on copper. you aren't saying about tantalum capacitors, diodes, transistors, or the solder used on the board which contains 3 percent silver (lead free silver only). But all you are seeing is copper. Forget about palladium, gallium, platinum and advanced stuff like that. Only glittering matters for you, gold and copper. Take a time and see the manufacturing process of electronic components, will give you at least general level of education as a scrapper.
If you read the title it says for beginners. My other videos show other items like silver, aluminum (both clean and extrusion), brass, etc. some want to know basic questions like what category to put them in, where to find various ones, etc.
Welp, can't watch this one for any helpful info... the screen, playing on my big screen TV, is about the size of my freaking tablet... what a waste of time. 🙄
Lol, I sometimes always got hit in the eyes so for me safety glasses are necessary. I do wear better foot protection when doing some more heavy scrapping
