Office copier,printer,fax boards

I by no means say you should remove flatpacks, eproms, or mlccs.

Of those tho...One can remove the socketed eproms without a downgrade, or at lest I have.

Do NOT remove the flatpacks unless you want to be downgraded. MLCCs are up to the buyer in my experience, an the board their on.

I pull the MLCCs(your welcome nutpie!) off smaller boards, an certain other ones. My Jar is slowly filling. It takes a lot an my jar is big. LOL.

Far as being busy... - I dig it, but...it takes just as long to word you question, an wait for a response, then it does to just use the search box an get a instant answer. Depopulate, remove from motherboard, etc things like that would have likely turned up some of this info. Once can also use google in a pinch to get a term so one can search on here. "Big black square on computer board" would likely lead you to flatpacks. Same with using "black rectangular thing on board"

Like Mike, I'm saying this for new folks benefits. Not to be a jerk, just you will get a lot more out of this forum if you take the time to search vs waiting for replies. We're all busy people in our own ways, an we all had to figure out how to use what time we have wisely. For me..waiting on answers didn't work. I jumped in head first an continue to swim in the knowledge that is here.



Either way, I wish you luck, an hope you take this post in the spirit it's intended. Let me clarify, not just the op but any future folks who end up here an read this thread.

As the old saying goes...Seek an ye shall find.

You know...I'm just going to wait for Mike to reply, it would save me from repeating what he says. LOL.

Your awesome Mike.

An OP, you'll see a term I use a lot..YMMV. (Your Mileage May Vary). An it means what mike said above...what works for him/me/you, might not work for someone else.

Again good luck, an don't be so quick to cash in. You'll make more with a bit of patience an research.

Hardest part of this gig is knowing when to sell an when to hold. You'll figure it out, we all had to at one point or another.

I could regale with tales of how much money I threw away, as could many other long time posters here. LOL.

An again..YMMV.



Sirscrapalot - I'm running out of quotes for this thread.
