Electronic board - looks low grade?

[WhiteSquirrel]

Hey again all.

Just finished doing a tear down of some electronics I got from a large gen set. Played around with an epoxied voltage converter that I decided was not something for me (posted about it earlier), and the board from the controller looks like it's garbage - but I have 0 experience with electronics, mostly larger base metals. I'm not planning on accumulating too many electronics so don't mind if I end up ruining this one, but was wondering if anyone could help identify or comment on the board.

I have about 6 scrap laptops I'm debating having fun with stripping and playing around with precious metal extraction, or selling them as-is. Having you knowledgeable folks talk about it might help get my interest going in eWaste. Always some good info that comes out of here!

Will watch the full vid tomorrow but I just flipped through the video, the green boards (green on both sides) are mid grade, probably worth ~0.40/lb - $2/lb depending on where you take it/send it, and how they grade it..... If its nothing you plan to do in any bulk, I would probably say just throw that board in with your shred/light iron pile and move on, but if you think youll be getting a lot of electronics scrap, start a bin of similar mid grade board for later, for when you have enough to take somewhere or mail off on a pallet.

The 6 laptops you have, value all depends on what they are. IF they are new-ish they could have more than scrap value of $100+, but my guess is they are probably scrap laptops, so probably worth ~$5-10 each if fully taken apart and sorted properly and sent to the right buyer.

Both of those are probably not enough money to be worth spending a bunch of time on but if you are interested there is a ton more info in the forums and I could expand a ton more, but just giving you the jist/and idea.

Thanks, that's pretty much the what I was looking for. Won't hurt me to throw them in a bin for a little while in case I run into more. I'd like to try some silver recovery, just cause it looks like a fun project, but as of right now it doesn't look like it's on my radar for profitability. I think i'll start reading up on some older posts and see where that leads me.
