Otherwise, identify the flash memory chip and pull it out. No need to grind to dust the entire board.
That would reduce the board's residual value to 0, might as well grind it all up instead.
No, there is a large economy that thrives on dissembling circuit boards. The rip out the small gold wires inside chips and few other things.
Can you ask someone to come and pick up about a hundred here in my office? We already pay for the recycling hwne we buy electronic goods, but unless we have about 500kg of them, we would have to take them to the recycling point ourselves (which would only create extra cost). I still think that removing the BIOS NVRAM chip would make a board worth 0 or less - that's what practical experience tells me.
Of course, you can not sell such a board for use. The price goes down a lot, to perhaps cents.
Like I said, in practice zero, zilch, nada, rien, nothing. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.7°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
