#13 the ic looking thing has gold legs, I think it's out of a mini mouse. Is it worth removing? And #6 came out of a cd/DVD rom from a laptop but it doesn't make cd/DVD? And #10 has gold fingers but only peripheral grade? I'm sure you're right but just wondering why these things are what they are
10!is a fairly low end riser board. The finger keeps it at peripheral.
Optical/laser mice diodes are hit or miss but generally will get peripheral on their own so no sense in removing it.
With laptop drives , any type, if I can’t spot it as something better on first glance it will generally fall in to peripheral on reception at boardsort. Reduced size controllers usually hit either peripheral or telco. There’s fudge room but I’m not seeing it here.
