    You've caught my attention a little bit hear. How do we tell which chip set it is? What is considered damaged by visual inspection? Should metal sockets, heat sinks and batteries be left on or removed?

    I can send you a picture of the cardboard visual aid that we use to teach these chipsets. If you want to shoot me an email at sales@ibuy.parts then I can send it over. I gave the picture to another forum member and he/she/they were very grateful. The pricing is not dependent on the removal of base metals (metal socket, heatsink) nor will I downgrade if the battery is still on the board. I understand that most will want to at least keep the main CPU heatsink for the Al, Cu, or AlCu value which is also totally fine with me. However, the smaller heatsink solely for the chipset is usually good to leave on because it protects the chipset during transit.

    I also do RAM chip recovery and I tell scrappers ALL the time that leaving the heatshield on actually protects the chips and insures a safer delivery.
