Thank you guys so very much for all the help, I do appreciate it immensely.
Questions: You mentioned removing the heat sinks off of the top left board in one of the photos but to my eye, I am not seeing anything that resembles a heat sink on that board? The CPU is indeed soldered to it and is not a gold cap so is the Telco box the safe bet for it?
The Dallas Box; is this not just an IC chip and if so, would I not be downgrading the board by removing it? I will definitely be removing all the batteries and things that can be removed before shipping.
Thanks again everyone <3
They are talking about the gel like material on top of the chips of the first board in your last pic. The dallas box just has a battery inside, it has to go, as batteries can cause explosions in the refining process! (Or in my bench drawer oops no damage)
