Aubrey Clay Hi Aubrey, just seen your comment. Did you say this was your 1st video of ewaste ben's that you've watched? If yes, have you been able to watch anymore? Just curious, because if you liked this video, there's more that are just GREAT! Also if you like to watch ones involving computers or laptops, this is a really good channel. Have a GREAT Day!!!
Thanks Ben. I haven't started to really get into laptops yet, I've only scrapped one that was left outside and smashed. Still got some good things out of it, everything was there. But I've accumulated a stack about waist high. Not much compared to some of your awesome stacks. But I really liked scrapping out the one I did. After watching again and now with a stack of them, you've got my laptop scrap itching again.
Scrapping lap tops is a pain in the butt. Having scrapped a few now, I've decided to just remove the RAM and sell the lap top as is. I'm fortunate that one of my yards takes lap tops with batteries and the other wants us to remove the batteries - but buys the batteries stand alone. Perhaps I could make more if I spent the time to dismantle, but my goal is simply to reduce what ends up in the waste stream. I spend my time scrapping other stuff with greater - and easier - return.That said - thank you Ben for another good vid. Please keep them coming.
Thanks, That's kinda what I have been doing over the years with laptops, but now that i'm selling more things on ebay I thought to part them out and add to my inventory of pc parts as i go. Laptops are clean to scrap so I can do them inside when I have downtime and it's raining outside.
Hey Ben awesome vid. looking forward to more. you've help me in my ewaste scraping a lot. thank you for the help. happy scraping and have a great week.
Tip: Some HP laptops (can’t remember the model right now) are super easy to scrap out, at least if you don’t go for the motherboard. In around 5 minutes i can pull the battery, RAM, hard drive/SSD, wifi cards and the DVD drive, then chunk it in the pile of scrapped out laptops.
Oh my god this computer is in good condition! It's really good I shiver what you've done to this machine In my life I did not get my computer to keep my dream going like this
The hardest part of scrapping laptops for parts (de-manufacturing as Ben says) is figuring out how it was manufactured. Can certainly be a head-spin lol.
that looks really close to the 1521 I bought on ebay last week for $12.50 WORKING! Bullet proof laptops 8 meg ram $30 and 1t HDD $55 beats the hell out of a scraptop worth more than my car.
Not counting taking parts out to sell, would you sell the laptop whole or break it down into motherboard,hard drive , etc?... like you've stated , I'm not an IT tech so scrapping is mostly my thing. Plus my laptop pile is outside so they're probably all worthless for parts anyway
I used to sell laptops to a scrap yard for about 80c lb so anything's better then that, yeah just scrap 'em out hard if your not into parting out, laptops have good motherboards and they're a bit of fun compared to junky stuff like printers etc
I have about 30 desktop ram cards and 6 laptop ram cards with 3 laptop cpus where I can sell all are tested everything works is it worth more to sell as is or put aside and add to my computer parts pile?
When you have a decidedly old laptop and inside you find what appears to be aluminum foil with adhesive used as tape, is it actually aluminum or something else? Also, same question for what looks like copper foil.
I'm actually saving up for a melt next spring thanks to you. Oh, also, I took down an old hard drive recently and inside the discs were not shiny. They looked like unpolished gold. Please advise.

Always sell screen, HD, battery separately. You leaving money on table selling as is.

Great video! Can't wait to see more!

Hey Ben, any idea of what you ended up on parting this laptop out?
good job buddy! I could tell you weren't quite comfortable due to the fact it was your first. way better then I'd do that's for sure.
so, I wish I could come down there and show you how to do that disassembly properly.
also you might check out saving the wireless cards for resale. those go out often.
Joseph Dickerson I was watching to see what happened to the WLAN card, it ended up under the laptop at 9:50 and then hit the floor at 12:10.
great video ben thanks!

Price
how much do you get for a laptop? thanks
I have about 30 desktop ram cards and 6 laptop ram cards with 3 laptop cpus where I can sell all are tested everything works is it worth more to sell as is or put aside and add to my computer parts pile?
@15:00 that looks like the camera you may be able to sell it.
oh yeah I forgot there's a camera up there, i'll be more gentle next time
When you have a decidedly old laptop and inside you find what appears to be aluminum foil with adhesive used as tape, is it actually aluminum or something else? Also, same question for what looks like copper foil.
Yes, the silvery stuff is aluminium and can be sold as sheet aluminium
the copper ones are copper and sold as #2 or burnt copper

most likely gold like gold cdr's
Did you really say ‘lion’?
So if i was to scrap the old laptop i have in the attic, where would i sell the ram/hard drive/battery ?
ebay might be easiest, but if it's too old then it's just for gold recovery.
Monitor and HD likely to return best money on ebay.
Who would I ask if I was to want repair this
Please give me hard disk this laptop
เก่งมากสู้ๆนะ
👍😎👊
Sell bad battery to whom and for what? Sell 1gb ddr2 ram to whom and for what? Sell old 250gb hdd to whom and for what? Good money i quote you? LoL
The video was posted four years ago... the equivalent today would be a 512GB SSD and 8GB DDR4 sticks.
I payment you
