Relearning the biz

I have found flat screen tvs worth it to break down, imo. They usually have at least one very high grade board, sometimes more depending on the size. Then you have the power board, with transformers and al heat sinks. Theres also another board that would go mid grade, sometimes 2. Tear one apart, see what you think, is it worth it to you?

One flat screen I got had I think almost 20 small transformers in it, about 4-5 pounds of transformers. Not much, but when you add it in with the pound or so of aluminum, boards etc it will all add up

I guess I gotta do what I gotta do , after all there under a tarp for years , Once I tear apart real base weight is still there
pulse the extras

What LongHair said.

I do the same. I break down the flat screen's for the boards, an the huge chunk of metal used for the casing. Plastic just gets tossed, not enough there to notice a difference with it on or off far as the yard goes.

Flats are more of a pain tho then CRTs. All them **** screws!

the only annoying screws are around the casing, Which is what you need to get off to get at the really high grade board
