Is there any video on cell phone or smartphone tare down

I guess I’ll add that to my list of coming projects.
Give me a few days to find a phone I’d part with for scrap.

Thank you so much

This is harder than I thought. Finding a phone that I would take apart rather than sell on ebay is difficult.

In reality, taking apart a phone for scrap is the worst thing you can do right now. The whole phone values are higher than the scrap value of parts. If you absolutely can’t, or don’t want to, sell a phone as broken online, then selling the whole phone at the whole phone rate is still a better choice.

Generally about the only reason to take apart a phone today is to sell working parts and scrapping damaged parts.

I have an old Samsung I’ll break down in a photo log next week and post in my what’s inside series.

And this is why you absolutely should not break down a smart phone. I had about $1.50 in cell phone. Now I have under a dollar from boardsort. And a mess of selling the other stuff.

The magnesium frame is the heaviest part. The gold connectors go in connector ends. There’s a bit of gold plate, a bunch of plastic, a screen I need to deal with. I’m out of practice on cell phones, this took about 15 minutes. To reduce my likely intake from it even with outside sources for some sales. So I’ve made
-$2.50 per hour. Nice.
