    A Few noob questions

    Hello all, i've been reading the forum for about a month now, there is a ton of great information here i just have a few more, please. What are No Pin processors? are they the other one under the second alum heatsink beside the cpu? also are satellite receviers worth pulling the boards? thanks everyone!

    No pin cpu's are like regular cpu's but no pins, instead they have small points where the pins would be. Many of the p4 machines have them. When you see one you will know it. And it is not the one under the "other" Al heat sink.

    Are satellite receivers worth pulling apart, I would say yes for me they are. My time is cheap.

    Please go to the introductions section and start a thread there, tell us a little about yourself.

    Take the time to read through this thread, while you're at it read as much of the old threads as you can. There is lots of free information in the old threads.

    Yes, remove the heat sink and on some lift the small lever and pull out the cpu. All the lap tops I've seen so far the cpu is soldered in and no you don't remove them. Seriously take the time to read lots of the old threads, you will profit from it. Mike.

    You're doing great! You read and looked, took notes, and made a good deal. Glad you did all that boardsort has a good page on boards, giving descriptions and photos. You don't want to go the route I took with them tho, and prepay shipping and wait for a check, that route takes forever! I did however appreciate their pricing, and definitions

    I recently broke down about 50 laptops and about 30% had soldered on chips.

    Depending on where your located, the load is almost big enough to drive it to a buyer.

    Not sure exactly what they call them but I'm just not sure of what level, maybe a mid-grade. This buy lists them as peripheral;
    The Peripheral board category is for boards that do not qualify for motherboard grade, but are better than midgrade.
    This includes but is not limited to such boards as DVD/CD-ROM ( CD/DVD board description), Printer boards, higher quality telephone board and cable/dvr board.
