Camera's der is gold in dem dar magic picture takers!

So...anyone else break down cameras? Found a couple of broken ones around the house earlier, and decided..what the hell, lets see whats in one. (after searching an finding no threads..) So..I grabbed the smallest screwdriver I had, and its small...and preceded to take apart one. What did I find on the inside? GOLD IN DEM DER BOARDS! Going by on thinking process, these would be hi-grade/mB quality..I will post some pics up tomorrow, when I can get better ones then I did earlier, and you folks can tell me if I'm right.

I found two boards, in the one I cracked open, both glittered with gold. The lens part seems to all be one piece, pulled out a small lcd screen, some gold where the memory card goes and the battery.

If anyone has broken these down before, and I missed the thread I apologize..if no one has before..Your all welcome, consider this my Christmas gift to you.

Again will post up the pics tomorrow of the innards for those curious.




Sirscrapalot - You know your a scrapper, when you find electronics and your happy they are BROKEN.

Yes, gold on the card! Sadly...the wife got the card an I got the broken camera, it's ok tho..it made my night. Love when ya pop open something you never have..and you find something you certinaly weren't expecting. These were by no means high end cameras.

Sirscrapalot - Is easily pleased.

NOOOOOOOOO

i will NOT tear apart an old friend simply because a puppy thought it was a squeaky toy

i will resist

Having two dogs, a beagle/king charles mix, and a lab/brittany mix..gah...I know the "No not a chew toy!" in regards to cameras, Microphone wires..(beagle really didn't like the wife singin at first in rockband2..), etc.

Thankfully they outgrew it for the most part, now they just try an eat the cats. Win/win! I'll now be hiding from all the cat lovers. :P

Sirscrapalot - 2 dogs, 3 cats...fun times.

Thanx, I have sevral cameras that I haven't broke down yet. Now here is your next prodject, pagers. Has anybody broke down pagers? I have three just haven't had time to brake down yet.

I have couple thousand pagers. Just hoarding them for now.....

If I had a pager I'd bust it open quicker then you could buy me a beer. :P

Sirscrapalot - really hated having a pager.
