    Color of motherboards/control boards

    Hello everyone. While disassembling some electronics that didn't work I noticed the control board was blue instead of the typical green boards I've seen. Is there really any difference? Im just holding onto to them until I get enough to recycle. Thanks for the help.

    travistemple202020 is correct...that search box would have given you this answer, but I will give you this one. Please try doing a search in the future.

    NO, colored boards vs green boards, makes no difference. Only real difference in pricing will be for small socket vs large socket (see pricing in that subforum from the buyers on this board)
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    Thanks for the input. I did do a search on this forum for colored boards but I guess I searched the wrong keyword thats why I posted the question. I usually start with the search option before I post.
    Thanks again.

    Scrape some of the 'paint' off of the board to see what type of metal is underneath ...

    Copper is most common, however you also have steel and gold based boards
