- In this video I scrap a plasma tv for lots of goodies.
I'll go through each board removed and identify it and tell you what it's worth if you choose to sell them to Boardsort.
I also recover copper, brass, aluminum and steel that can be sold to a scrapyard.
I will breakdown what everything is worth, using average scrap prices in the USA.
🔶Here is my video where I show how to scrap relays.

God bless you all 😃
You forgot one board under that big plate of metal that have a long golden fingers and good mlcc... and from last small board you took out you have 2 pcs of that wire with gold...
@@dorianarmeanu3831 I’m going to check for that board tomorrow.
Thanks.
had a video idea for you about micro scraping brass buttons and zippers off old jeans and other clothing. there are no videos on you tube about this. if you end up doing this please say my name Travis Luce in the video. love your videos and god bless.
@@travisluce7171 oh wow, I never thought about doing that. I will look into what I’ve got and I will 100% mention your name. Thank you, Travis!
God bless you too.
How do you pronounce your last name? Is it like “Lucy?”
you say it like travis loose but its spelt luce. Travis Luce
At what point or weight do you take your non-farres to the scrap yard? I fill 5 gallon buckets
@@deweydoesdaily742 I like to have at least 500 pounds cause my yard will give me a better price. But I actually haven’t sold my copper or brass in two years, so I have about 800 pounds of each right now. Hoping prices will go up.
I just got a 42" plasma yesterday. They are so stupid heavy but well worth it.
@@Wrightwayrecycling awesome!
I did one a year ago and it weighed 98 pounds.
I micro-scrap while watching TV in the evenings. Thanks to your videos I'm saving more components.
@@southofhollywood4199 me too, I enjoy micro scrapping while watching tv or TH-cam.
Thank you for watching.
With the board that has all the rca jacks, can you cut the square out instead of pulling it off the board?
Yes that is an option for sure, but then you’ll lose board weight. Guess I’d have to check the numbers to see what will pay more.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
@@scrapitall200 you're welcome. I just wondered if it would be worth it, after losing it. It would also probably depend on if you're shipping or taking it directly there. For shipping, it would take less space and weight in the box meaning you can ship more higher priced items. I just have no clue if it would be enough to warrant the time and effort.
@@HHRecyclingyou make some great points. I remember from Nice Junks Boardsort series he determined that low and high grade peripheral wasn’t worth the shipping cost.
Wish I could give you a concrete answer.
@@scrapitall200 concrete is definitely not worth shipping. 🤣😜
@@HHRecycling 🤣🤣😂
The Lords Will Be Done, In Jesus Name We Pray, AMEN🙏
@@markinator8826 Amen brother! 😁
Wonderful video as always. I love how you're able to express both the monetary values and the emotional joys of scrapping. I really like how at the end you showed the thin gold finger board. I'm pretty sure even the plasmas have those, and you just missed them. ❤
@@bentleyalder5492 thank you so much! 😁
I’m going to check that tv tomorrow for that. For some reason I didn’t think it had that board but now I’m thinking I was wrong.
I really appreciate your comment!
Awesome video brother!
God bless you for all that you do.
Thank you brother and God bless you too.
Awesome video Scrapper
Thank you buddy! I like scrapping TVs, easy and fun.
Dont for get the long board at the top
I didn’t see that board but I’m going to check tomorrow
Now I`m all caught up with your videos. I have never taken apart a plasma TV ,but I have shot a few with my Rem. 300 RSM (of course I do pick up the remains and bring them home for a proper burial ) LOL. I did however find an old laptop in the closet that seemed broken so I too it apart, kind of a waste of time. Unfortunately I later found out it was my wife`s and apparently it still worked and had some old pictures in the memory......OOPS !! Yah....she was pissed !! This week I scored hundreds of feet of BX cable from a Northern school reno ,total jackpot. Most of it is 14 and 12 g. 2 wire and a bunch of 14 g. 4 wire (never seen 4 wire before ,red ,black ,white and blue wire). Have you done a tutorial on BX cable ? I have a technique to strip it ,but some of the 12 g. stuff is giving me fits ,so I need to do them in 3-4 foot sections. Brother I have a huge job ahead of me ,but I did save some for future wiring projects. Anyway enough of my blathering, thanks for the great videos ,always a treat to watch ,over and over. I have learned a lot from you and your channel ,it`s the best !! Take care James. Sincerely Paul T from the great white North.
Hi Paul.
Oh wow, I bet your wife was quite upset
I’ve not done a video on bx, it can be tricky removing the wire from it. I try to peal one end of the bx, clamping the end of the wire in the vise then pulling on the bx. Sometimes that will work, other times I have to cut it into shorter lengths like you mentioned.
Thank you so much my friend 😁
Well done sir I love the plasma TV your lucky if you're yard takes them as light iron mine won't because of the glass so I strip them down as far as I can and just toss the screen into the dumpster thank you for sharing this enjoyable video with us six stars brother
Thank you brother!
I’m very thankful they’ll buy it as shred.
Correction though, I thought this was a plasma, but it’s actually a LCD.
Have a great week my friend.
I remember putting power boards with the giant heat sinks from multiple plasma tvs in a box together and walking them to my truck. I made it halfway before i had an electrifying experience! Lots of white lightning.Remember to discharge your capacitors.😊
Oh wow! How big were the capacitors?
Glad you got your screwdriver back buddy! Love scrapping tv some have lots of goodies in them my scrap yard don’t take them but I take the glass out of it and still take them they don’t say anything to me then about it awesome tear down buddy!
Me too 😁
I really like scrapping them, fortunately my yard doesn’t care about glass or anything like that.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Amen, Brother, God bless America 🇺🇲
I'm glad you put that last board with the gold on it in the video.
God bless you as well ❤
@@KPaul7 hey brother, how are you doing?
God bless you too my friend.
I’ve got a big plastic bag full of circuit boards, not as big as I would like 😂. I didn’t really give depopulating until I watched your videos 👍.
I used to have so many totes of them until I learned enough on what to do with them lol. They add up quickly
Thanks for sharing this scrapping adventure...doubling your money is so nice to do! Take care and God bless, James!
Thank you Michael, I appreciate it.
God bless and have a great weekend
Where did you get those tiny clippers and what are they called please? 13:50 in the video. Tha k you and GOD BLESS!
@@wadechadwick4323 hey buddy. I got those from harbor freight and they are Doyle brand. I love them.
God bless you too
I love scrapping old TV's, so much good stuff in them. A plasma TV is one that I haven't done yet. Thanks for sharing, take care and may God bless you too
Most plasmas I’ve scrapped actually have way more stuff inside than this one did. They are definitely fun.
God bless you too.
Hope you faired well from that hurricane?
I have the hardest time grading boards. I’ve tried learning. Good stuff, my friend
Hey brother.
It is really hard to do and I’m still learning, so don’t feel bad.
Hey there.... I felt like I'd been caught doing something wrong. Lol nice break down.
Oh? 🤣
Thank you brother.
Best thing i saw was your old square body chevy. Love them trucks
@@richardhulbert9480 oh me too, I love my truck so much. Square bodies are so good looking
$5.47 but the fun is priceless. I take it all also, all except the capacitors. Those dog gone things explode if I use a heat gun to remove heat sinks.
@@NoHandlesRequired I don’t mess with capacitors either.
Thank you for watching.
Years ago I found a old large Philips screwdriver with the tip broken so I cut it off filed it down and it made a great punch 👍
Cool idea! I’ll have to do that with the next screwdriver I break 🤣
I’ve scrapped a lot of them. Take out the goodies and garbage the rest 🖖.
Awesome! I find them to be quite fun, even though there is a lot of screws lol
Hey Y'all ✌️
Hey buddy!
I love scrapping these apart totally worth the time plenty of copper brass medal aluminum
I agree 100% 😁
The brass coax connector can be easely break in half with your cutter side way ang get clean brass
I’ll give that a try, thank you.
I don't want to be that guy but.. the tv in the video is a LCD not a plasma.
You know I didn’t even check for that, I was told by the person throwing it away that it was a plasma tv. I guess it’s another lesson on never to assume anything
I already been doing this for awhile now
@@geraldduncan8954 right on 👍
Welcome to the world of plasmas where there is no shortage of screws 😂
And this wasn’t even a bad one 🤣
I scrap few old tvs ans some of them the back of the screen itself have a very thick aluminium plate where they glued the screen on it can goes at dirty alu or if you have the patience with a scraker or putty knife you ca remove it
One plasma I did had that really nice piece of aluminum, sadly my yard won’t buy that as breakage and I don’t have the patience to peel it apart lol.
Thank you for watching.
I love the old school thick TVs with tons of boards. The new ones have so much less metal and more plastic.
@@dr.a006 so very true. Seems like that’s the truth for lots of stuff nowadays
How do you tell what is a peripheral board and what is not.
One thing I’ve done is study Boardsort lists of the different boards they buy.
So most boards are going to fall into one category.
Low grade
Mid grade
Low peripheral
High peripheral
Low telecom
High telecom.
There are obviously other boards on Boardsorts list you’ll see those boards are way different kind of boards, plus mother boards.
Now it’s just a matter of knowing if they are low or high grade. That’s going to be determined by how much components are on the board and if there is any “junk” on the board, like transformers, capacitors etc..
I know it can be confusing but overtime it’ll start to click.
That piece that looks like a screen let me know what it is. I don’t have a way to test yet.
I’ll have to go back and look on my video to see what you’re referring to.
Interesting many thanks cobber.
Thank you so much.
Plasma TV is my favorite ones
Do you scrap it like shown here or do you have some extra tips?
What do you do with the nasty screen?
@@grijzekijker the screen goes in the dump. I basically do what he did. I might go a bit further with the chips and gold items now. I'm just getting into that part. Scrapping Scorpion is my scrap channel
They are fun for sure! Thank you buddy.
TVs go straight to ewaste here...yards won't take them as shred.
@@bearhardcorepicker seems it’s 50/50 whether yards will take them or not. I’m thankful mine does, expect for crt tvs.
Thanks for the video on plasma TVS. I've had 2 for a while, but have neglected to get to them.
But now I can't wait to get into it. Also, when I take stuff apart and there's a lot of screws for some reason. I always seem to miss one and I have a system for doing it. I go clockwise. And then II check it counterclockwise, and I still Miss A screw. I really like the breakdown of everything. And I really that you price everything out so you could make an affordable opinion. I'm whether it's worth your time or not.🤠
@@fraudanator2249 you’re welcome!
I like scrapping them, fun and pretty decent stuff inside.
Oh, I like that method, I’ll have to try that, thanks. I’ll probably still miss a screw 🤣
@@scrapitall200 I actually learned to do that for doing estimates on my jobs. I would total up labor and material top to bottom. Then I would totally from bottom to top. Then I would pick a spot in the middle. It totaled it both ways if I came up with The same number 3 times then I knew I was correct if I didn't, I know I messed up somewheres.🤠
Thank you brilliant break down
@@patrickwilliams4613 thank you buddy
Got a couple dozen flat-screen tv's, going to collect the plated boards for a gold recovery experiment. The plasmas are the only ones I'll grab anymore. A lot will have a nice heavy chunk of extruded aluminum in them. Not sure why. Not a heat sink, almost like a counterweight or something. Unless it dissipates heat from the screen?
You can fill a bucket with screws after a few of em....
@@silver_salvage_savage so have you refined gold before?
This one was a little light on the heat sinks, some have huge ones like you mentioned
@scrapitall200 I've done some gold filled jewelry and carat scrap, too. I've yet to do an ewaste recovery. I'm hoarding materials, though. Have 4 or 5 desktops, 2 laptops, and a bunch of cell phones. And then, of course, the TV boards. I'm also collecting up plates and cups that have the gold trim like around the rim. Have a creamer with a plate that are fully plated.
From what ive seen it takes quite a bit and I'd like to get at least a couple grams.
@@silver_salvage_savage ok cool.
I ask cause I have a lot of gold bearing material and I’m hoping to find a refiner one day to make a deal with.
Great video, cheers Graham

Hello! 👋
Thank you!
Great dad fixing your screw driver.
As a newbie, I am not sure if watching your videos is an education or a bad influence. This past week I took apart a fan and a hedge trimmer. My wife wanted to know why I was doing that and I told her that it just may be my new hobby that I am learning from scrapitall. She doesn't say much about the things I do but I could see it in her eye with an OK he has finally gone over the ege. lol
Did I hear Gold, oh yah
Perfect prayer my friend, Yes be kind to others
He’s really good at a lot of things! 😃
Oh my! lol well… I for one am happy to read you’re scrapping lol.
It’s ok cause we men rarely understand women, I’d hate to think how confusing we are to them at times 😂
You sure did, gold lol
Kindness can transform lives and the world, if only we all practiced it more often. I know for myself I can do a better job.
Have a great weekend my friend!
@@scrapitall200 You have a great weekend as all Buddy.

Right on!
God bless you too brother!
Hey a quick question. What kind of tent/ canopy do you have for doing your scrapping in? I seen the video the other day of you going in and I need something like that! How long have you had it and does it hold up through wind, rain and snow? Thank you so much sir
@@EricScrapping4Dinidog it’s made by shelter logic. 10x20 is its size.
I’ve had it 3 years.
Holds up to wind well and keeps the rain and snow out. The sun will deteriorate the material so I bought a heavy duty tarp to put over it.
@@scrapitall200 Super, I’ll buy one. Thanks so much friend!
You’re welcome
Question. Is it just the blue "M & M" things that have some silver, or all of them. I know they come in several colors. Thanks
@@thomasgabriel2213 that’s a great question and I still haven’t heard from anyone who actually has refined them. I’ve been told yes, but I cannot personally confirm that
Thank you for watching
@@scrapitall200 I would be curious to know what else they are made of and if they are toxic when burnt. I have access to a commercial refining smelter, but I would not want to burn something like cadmium. We have seen it a lot in cheap counterfeit silver jewelry, mostly from China.
@@thomasgabriel2213 that’s why I still don’t recommend people pulling them off of boards since I just don’t know.
I bet there is probably some ewaste Facebook groups that might know.
@@scrapitall200 I would agree with your recommendation, better safe thank sorry. I may do some digging into it. I do have access to a commercial grade XRF as well. Very handy for determining the metal content of an item! If I can come up with a sample to test I will let you know.
@@thomasgabriel2213 very cool.
Thank you I’d appreciate that very much.

Brother attached to the screen is a gold io board that runs the full length of the screen the best bit left behind😮😢still watching
@@empirefinds they aren’t In plasmas brother. At least not in any I’ve done
@@scrapitall200 the screen always connects via the input output board it's how the screen whatever technology connects to the graphics board all tvs have them brother just look through my videos done loads of plasma all have them
I have take plasmas down to the bare bones and I have never found that board. I will look again on this one and let you know
@@scrapitall200 awesome brother thanks
I hope you’re right and I am wrong, I like those boards.
I’m away from home today, but tomorrow I will dig deeper. Hope I didn’t come across rude.
