Breaking Down A Phillips Lifeline Base Unit

This is a breakdown of a Phillips LifeLine base transmitter. Dated '09 it was out of service.

There is 3 screws under the front lip and a battery compartment towards the back of the unit.

Under the battery is another screw.

A gentle pry with a straight edge and it opens right up.

3 screws hold the circuit board in. Remove the board to reveal another board underneath. 1 screw holds it.

4 screws for the speaker and a small spring and that's about it. (the "spring" is actually an antenna)

Nice pics and breakdown. I have a dumb newbie question:

What do you do with random green boards like that? Do you pull components off it? Do you have a box labeled "random green boards"?

I guess I understand if you breakdown computers, all the motherboards go in one stack, ram in another box, etc.

I don't get hardly any computers, but I get a few things with green boards. I suppose they will add up over time.

Those go with my printer and other green boards with lots of components, when the box is full enough then it'll make a trip to the buyer.
OR sometimes they fill up a box that has my computer boards in it. Just use these to finish the box off. But I keep them separate and don't mix them in with the motherboards.

Nice break down.
I separate the same way Mech.

Will you pull that Eprom or send it as is?

Betcha didn't see that question coming. ;)

Nice break down! You're so tidy.

I already pulled it and it went into my IC can. I did see what I thought was some of the "gumdrop" tantalum caps.
