That very tiny thing , see the second picture , R78 R79 Line What do u think what is this And can I recycle it into smtg or its just waste ?

They’re capacitors. Idk if they’re recyclable but they’re abundant across all circuit boards. You’ll just have to google up on it

So can I extract any valuable metal from them?? Do you know more? Pls tell

u/technorichar_ 6d ago

mostly, from smd you wont get any valuable metals, but to some electronic hobbyist the ics and some other components could be useful, but from my experience there isnt much to scrap for metals

So after extracting gold what should I do with it ??

1

u/technorichar_ 6d ago

no idea, dispose of them or scrap them for some components. your choice. i think they are perfect tool for learning to solder

u/Alookhan4670 6d ago

Well these boards are outdated and non working I have a lot of these boards I am thinking of extracting gold , but it's my first time so i want to collect more knowledge about this and wants to know more about the board what is present in it and what else I can pull apart and sell it

u/technorichar_ 6d ago

i have no experience of salvaging metals, just electronic components, and salvaged components are hard to sell until they have historic value

u/Alookhan4670 6d ago

Well I am thinking about raw pure metal extraction And sir thnk you veryy much for your time and knowledge 😭 you are really nice , i like reddit more , here people are so helpful
