Not sure where to catalogue this

There was a lot taken off but gold pins and things are on is it still small hinged color motherboard

Don’t know between peripheral or mid grade after removing so much, but you’ll need to remove the battery.

heres what i know from past..most of the time Chirs(boardsort) has experessed no interest in buying boards with chemical/or physical depopulation.even know in this case its minimal so what you should do is email him at

chris@boardsort.com and link him to this topic..

I would buy that particular board at $0.20 per pound, or Midgrade if it arrived here, but I would rather not deal with processed material.

The reason being is that I have no idea what the value of it is now that it has been modified.

There is an old saying in the scrap business. Some are worth more, some worth less, but when it comes to guessing, lowest is best. That is where i would be on the board in the pic.

And if a board arrives that was chemically processed we would not buy it at all and there could be a disposal fee if that were the case. It does not appear that this board was acid washed so that would not apply here.

But the battery still needs to be removed. :)

That was done with a heat gun. (Or a lighter, lots of warping)

And too many bridge and controller chips are missing. Those ICs make up a good point of the value of a motherboard classes. It’s also why the general boards from the 70s and 80s can often go as large socket even with a “small” 486 or earlier, or even DIP sockets (80k and 40k series).
It’s best to never remove BGA chips, and definitely not stup pin chips.

If YOU did the removal, my suggestion is to finish the job at this point. Flip the board over, heat it carefully for a while and gently remove the rest. You’ve still got ICs and gold pin connectors. At midgrade, I tend to strip boards bare myself. Gold pins add up quickly. As do ICs. Drop the bare board in the electronics recycling at a local electronics shop.
