    Once you have 10 posts I believe you will have enough but read the above for now. Mike

    Ty! I know basics about computers but thats about it I'm actually a general contractor by trade. Got rear ended and my back was broken. I've always done my own scrapping. Just now getting into e waste etc. Having trouble finding friendly advice so it's greatly appreciated. This post was just trying to figure out if those particular chips are gold bearing or worthless. Saw that they get taken out on yt videos before interaction n not sure if they are sellable. Agian ty. Sincerely Si

    You would be surprised at the amount of money that can be made by selling the boards whole and not depopulating.
