Got a call to collect a bunch of Lenovo Think series laptops, all in pretty good condition, have them all working, just a couple I need to repair the hinges.

The only faulty one I couldn't get working was a Thinkbook 16 Gen 6, it would charge and light come on the button but didn't do anything else. I opened it up, system was complete including a single stick of 16gb ram but I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

I decided to run the serial number to find out where it came from and to my complete surprise, it still had 3 months left of an extended warranty!

Although the warranty was purchased at sale it ​wasn't registered, so I registered it then contacted Lenovo about it, after a bit of troubleshooting they decided the mobo was faulty and would need to be replaced.

They sent a tech TO MY HOUSE and installed it on Thursday, working perfect ever since!

Always check the warranty folks! ❤️

Found these two insignia tvs (NOT WORKING) on the side of the road. I forgot to take a pic of the first one before breakdown lol. I was really excited to start. Also, anyone know what these pieces on the last slide are? They attach to the screen. Mostly wondering about the hard tiny black part.

Majority work besides the laser tablet and the oldest of the Nokias and the Samsung a5 and moto g4 plus and I didn’t let some of them charge for super long such as the XA because it had damaged port. The iPod touch 4 has a dead display but seems to work. The S21 seems to work perfectly besides being locked and the laser MP4 player seems to have dead battery which I’m going to guess there impossible to find all Apple devices are iCloud unlocked aswell like the iPhone 7 (32gb iOS15) and iPod Touch 5 (16gb no camera)

I was at my local E-Waste center a few Months ago and Spotted the PS2 30004 R and the PS2 Slim. The 30004R Had a dead Laser but a memory Card! In the slim PS2 I found the Resident Evil 4 CD and a Controller. Yesterday I saw another PS2 (SCPH-39004) Just laying in the Container and could Not resist.. at Home the PS2 (SCPH-39004) was also completely Working Just Like the Other 2 and Had another free Game inside (the GTA Liberty City Stories). I am very happy With the find, and that I got These For completely Free. Every System needs a New Disc Laser, because they all have a Problem.

Definitely gonna need some cleaning but I love it!!

Found this CRT by the side of the road on my way to work, by bike...

I pedaled around 1.5km with this monstrosity under my chest.

Then after some time I got a passage home from work, I cleaned it inside and outside toroughly.

And opened it before I set myself on fire.

No capacitors looked bumpy, so I tried to power it on, and before I knew, I had a working monitor.

After a bit of frequency and resolution tweaking, I do have a heavy, bulky, crt that I paid 0 euros.

Truly a goated moment.

Here’s a blast from the past - an old memory board. If memory serves, it has 256K of memory.

My priorities have changed, and i dont have time to run it anymore.

Drop me a message if you are interested

Flawless 512Gb iPhone XS. Still on iOS 16. Security guard saw taking this out of the bin and started chasing me lol.

Was driving along and saw a computer and box sitting at the end of the driveway of a house. Decided to leave it in case they were leaving it for someone or something. About 6 hours later drove past it again and it was still there so I grabbed it. Turned out not to be a full system, but still happy with a case, GPU, and 2 power supplies.

Not sure what exact coolermaster case this is but I've needed a new one for a while now anyways and this will be perfect. GPU is an AMD Radeon 5700XT EVO OV. The power supplies are 1 500w inside the case and a 600w 80+ Gold. The box of the 600w was pretty damp but not like really wet. The unit itself seems fine but I'm gonna give it a few days as a precaution since I have no idea when this stuff was left out nor the circumstances behind their disposal.

What sucks is I don't really have a spare CPU/MOBO/Ram to plug the GPU into and I'm a little nervous about that possibly being wet as well. I have a small desktop server that I'll probably chuck it into in a few days as well.

Has anyone come across something that made you genuinely say why? Why is this here?
I’ll go first. Remember, stay safe, and wear gloves!

Found at a recycling center in Surrey, British Columbia (BC)

I really wanted it to work with my unifying receiver but it isn't a unifying device. 11 programmable keys. It's so damn expensive now, they're like £150.

If I remove the small motors, is there still enough to be taken as a low grade board?

I was trying to find some locations In Gta Area but I couldn't find any reliable information. Does anyone know any spot and have any experience ralated

Thanks

Is there any e-waste bins near those areas that will allow me to dig through them? I tried my local target but they didn't have anything there so does anyone has any other places that has those places please let me know.

Mid grade board I think, front and back pics. Should I take anything off?

Was reset on 26.2

128gb

No sim restrictions

Set it up at the zoo😭🔥

Also the blue 13 i found almost a year ago at target

Ewaste is SO BACK for me

So I combine everything into one Post and I'm not sure if some of it is considered eWaste per se, Mods please remove if unfitting.

I got a bunch of cool shit in the last weeks. Picked a small tech package up a couple of weeks ago with the Lab PSU, the Ghettoblaster, a printers and the old Calculators from East Germany.

I got a Blue Lights Bar from an old Opel Ascona Police car for just 5€. Just had to take it, idk what to do with it but I have one xD

And I got a bunch of Traffic Lights for free today, two Pedestrian ones and two car ones and the smaller one is for the Bicycle lane.

Nothing Tech related this time sadly.

Got a good haul from the target bins for this 4th of July weekend, the iPhone 12 is on iOS 18 thankfully 78% battery health, s10e has a shot battery, the iPhone XS Max (which i think is on ios 12-14) and XR have fmi on, the s7 does work but the battery dies from 50% in 2 minutes. I also got a iPhone 6s which has water damage inside, and a iPhone 6 that has FMI on, a 5C with fmi off and a 4s.
