    Mid grade board in computer monitor?

    Was taken out of a monitor made in 1986. Lots of ICs and many in removable sockets. Board is green on both sides. Is this mid grade? Can I mix with PC motherboards? Should I remove anything on board?





    Thanks

    Are you sure it was a monitor or a dumb terminal?

    That is definitely from a slave terminal. Check Ebay before scrapping them, because even the really old ones can have well above scrap value if they are working. My employer still uses WYSE terminals from the early 80's.

    I agree. Those terminals are still used alot in factory locations. Esp in the plants where a PC with an emulation is sometimes over kill. I did some work for a company that were paying 150.00 for used IBM terminals for AS/400 and they were is terriable shape.

    yes from a dumb terminal. Monitor was too busted up to sell. What about the grade of this board?

    I would say a mid, but I would not take my word for it. Maybe one of the e-waste buyers can grade it

    even if the monitor was trash, the board might also sell for parts

    I would research those removable IC chips on ebay, especially the one with the sticker.
