Aside from the hard drives and ram, nothing else really seems to be of interest, unless you sell it all as scrap on ebay.comOriginally Posted by copycat

He asked about the SCREENs not the laptops themselves. Yes there is a high grade board in the back of the screen, it is small but usually has gold plating in areas.

if the lcd screens are intact and working i would ebay them, all you need is a part number to find out what laptop models it fits

i process the lcd board for trimmings, recycle the aluminum frame and plastic sheets and save the lcd panel, have not found a buyer for lcd panels yet, but am hopeful one will appear in the future, until then i continue to accumulate them

The little board has some gold fingers on it worth pulling.

My local ewaste buyer will buy flat panel tv screens. I mean the ones, that are completely flat. Not the big bulky flat ones.
Dont know, but I am guess it is the boards. They only pay $1 per, so I just say the hell with it.

im talking about the lcd panel itself. I have about 30 pounds of them. I am buying the lcd boards at $10 pound.

I don't remember exactly what material is in these but I've been saving the actual screens from laptops/flatscreen monitors and TVs. I passively read an article about how the materials are becoming more scarce as the demand is skyrocketing. So as long as you have spare room, keep them at least until you run out of room or can find more data on this subject.
If I find more information I'll post.
BE CAREFUL of the back lights (They look like very small florescent lights.. These contain mercury.)

Integer- the screens are made from rare earth minerals and there is some work being made into recovering them from the screens. Hold onto to them as I believe someone will find a process to refine and recover them in the near future. I also save mine like jg is as well.

the rules of thumbs #1 in the scrap world is if you have the room save everything #2 even if you don't have the room save everything and buy a new room #3 everything has or will at some point have value

Indium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the middle and late 1980s, the development of indium phosphide semiconductors and indium tin oxide thin films for liquid crystal displays (LCD) aroused much interest. By 1992, the thin-film application had become the largest end use.
Electronics - Indium oxide (In2O3) and indium tin oxide (ITO) are used as a transparent conductive coating applied to glass substrates in the making of electroluminescent panels.

Technology benefits automate:
The sorting and full separation of shredded materials
Recovers rare earth material
Captures and manages hazardous material - mercury
Blubox Processes 2200 pounds of Flat Panels, and 1100 pounds of mixed lamp waste per hour
It’s all a multi-million dollar investment on our part to offer the most efficient, safest, environmentally friendly recycling possible and supports why we have been a leader in this field since our beginnings in 1994.
