I see televisions that get smashed or they are untouched. I only know about the electric cords value. What is inside that is worth smashing it to get?
Also, when it comes to computers and circuit boards. What am I looking for? What should I strip out? After I strip out escrap then where do I sell it. My scrap yard doesn't buy it.
Thanks for any input. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the computer stuff so ANY info will increase my knowledge.

Search function.
My best advice is to search on the forum, and pick a tv/crt monitor and break it apart. You will see whats in it.
search youtube for a video on "scrapping a tv" This will show you everything.
Lots of threads on tv and crt monitors. There is copper windings inside the tv and crt's. Also some Al. There is a dangerous electrical charge that can be held for a long time in side tvs and crt's.
One of our members Hoss does a lot tv and I mean a lot. Find Hoss and read all his threads from the beginning and you will have learned much of what you need to know. I recommend doing a lot of reading before you start tearing them apart.
The search function on this forum does not respond well to 1,2,3 letter searches and in "tv" or "crt". So if you have tried but failed to do a search on tv's don't feel bad.
Lastly there is no good reason to smash/break the tube in a tv or crt. Mike.
All of your questions would have been answered if you would have done some reading, I found all this for you in about 20 seconds. There is a ton more info here on these subjects but this will get you started. Start here; http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/showt...ling-a-Monitor

Dumb and ignorant are not the same. Ignorance can be remedied by taking the time to study, and in this day and age, information is more abundant than clean water. But you just have to put the time(by reading and reading info on what you wanna learn) or the money(go to college), either way it is 99% what you put into it. You'll do fine in the long run. Every single one of us on here are still learning, but we started somewhere. Good luck to ya.
