Has anyone seen the Eproms that are about 1.5" long and a little bit narrower than the regular IC chip, they have a long glass (or clear plastic) window, some are gold and some are silver? They come out of computer scanners. If you open up the scanner there is a black box that rides along a steel bar, take that black box out and on the front there is a small circuit board take the screws out and on the back side you will find this Eprom. Are they worth more and how much are they worth and who buys them? Thanks for any help with this. I know if e-wasted buys the other ones he might buy these also, I'll check with him.

Its not a Eprom, its the 'CCD scanner' chip.
Its this part anyway>

silver, but a good pic of it, same as the gold ones.

I have been saving them up, most are gold & the odd one is silver.
Check out the 'light bar'too, its got a row of LED's & sometimes bare gold wires, or gold wires under soft silicon..

Video cameras have a different version of them, square & with gold too. like this

Yeah, one of those 'lightbars' has 250 peices of gold wire & each ones about 2-3mm long. (i'm gonna double check that, 250 seems like a lot, but its what I remember the amount being)

Some of the lightbars (i gotta find the real name of that item too) are ceramic & some have about 1 square inch of gold plating alongside the LED's.
