Today I scrapped out a plasma tv........ 344, yes I counted them, 344 screws.......
Some nice boards, rubbish speakers and I peeled the Ali sheet backing off the unbroken screen.
Just did it real slowly, levered it apart and jammed cardboard into the gap so it wouldn't close.
Did that all around the edges, then went in furthur till it popped off.
Just so you know, the Ali sheet, plus some Ali strips screwed to it, weighed 1.5+ kg, say 4 lb Ali.
I'm not sure if heat, (like leaving it in the sun) would help soften the glue, or if cold (outside overnight in the cold) would help make the glue brittle and easyer to remove.
So that, and stripping out the plastic coated wire from some of the crts boards fulled up my day.
Gota
microwave too. Taught a random a bit about Copper wire from crts, not going to be competition..
