Can I remove the gold fingers of bottom board without degrading the board ?
Thanks

The board with the fingers should go at least low if not high telecom as is after the battery is removed. Don’t trim. High peripheral if trimmed.

The board to the left of the one with fingers and the board in the middle of the top row should also be able to go in low telecom.

Rest high peripheral.

Remove steel from the back of the second board from the right, it is under the long yellow barcode sticker.

Bottom row second from left is an apple cpu

Thanks and here is the board with out shields

From left to right in the photo
top row:
low peripheral (junk on the back pulls it down for me)
low peripheral unless there is something good under that blocky thing on the back
High peripheral
motherboard from an ASUS netbook, I think can go as laptop MOBO
High peripheral
bottom row:
Low peripheral (not many true chips, but may squeak through as high peripheral.)
apple CPU
High telco (remove the battery). (I would keep the gold fingers intact, though you can sometimes trim on high telco)
high peripheral

other photo without heat shields is gold finger card
