If there is any palladium in a CRT computer monitor, it will be on the circuit board, mixed in with any multi layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC's). But only a very very very small fraction of CRT monitors have those in them because they are very expensive and unnecessary. CRT monitors will only have low grade boards, as aposed to the high grade boards found in computers.

Make sure you have the monitor plugged in when you poke around in there looking for that platinum. That is the type of thing that can cure you of jumping onto a forum and asking questions without looking around or introducing yourself.

love your post parrothead....lol

Well done sir.

it was a generalised question it wasnt to bring out the smart a** people

Somethin my 60 year old dad says all the time....

"Act like a dumb @$$, ya git yer nuts slapped"

are you looking for palladium or platinum? might help to figure out what element you are after and the proper way to spell it...

I think maybe you should call it constructive criticism, these people are trying hard to teach you. Search forums first and you should be able to find the answers to your question.

Well, I for one found this particular thread, while doing a search for pallidium. I also wanted to know where to find it in a compurter board. typed in Pallidium, this and one other thread showed up from the search, neither one telling anything at all about where it is, what to look for, or anything. Just one talking about someone shipping out comp. boards, and this one. I know I'm new here, but I've searched for a lot of things on here, some I've found, others I haven't, but it could be that that is the reason he asked. I myself have put in the work to find things, which is why you don't hear from me often, but, most times I come to dead ends, and end up looking elsewhere on the web because I don't want to be one of the "newbs" that gets eyes rolled at because I asked a question. I've been reading the forum for about 3 weeks, and have wanted to get into the discussions because everyone here seems like a pretty cool bunch of people, but have been leary just because it seems there are quite a few that hard on the new guys. I'm not tryin to start an argument, or cause any hostility, but I came on here trying to find ways of increasing my "know how" and my raising my bottom line, and yes, I have found quite a bit of useful info by accident, but the stuff I've tried to find out on purpose, well, it's like trying to find a copper fitting in the steel pile at my yard. I can understand why some of the guys come to the "veterans" and ask questions. When you have actually tried to find the answer yourself, and have run out of ideas, and finally ask someone, just to have them criticize you for doing so. Maybe I'm just gettin old, maybe I'm just from a different kind of place, but this isn't the forum it seemed to be. I thought it was a bunch of good 'ole steel burnin, copper strippin guys and gals. I think this will be my 4th (maybe 5th) and last post. Again, not tryin to be an a**, but just trying to bring out the other side of the story. There have been many things I've looked for on here, couldn't find, and wanted to ask so as not to throw away something that could be worth something, but I kept my questions to myself because of the verbal "hazing" i've seen the others get. As for my question on Pallidium, well, it doesn't seem so important after having typed this. You guys have a wealth of knowledge between you, and knowledge is something that is meant to be shared. I wish each and everyone on here luck in they're search of that "big load" I'll just go back to the mountain.

by goin back to the mountain, I didn't mean so much that I'm leaving here, as that maybe I've already said too much, or spoken "out of school". I'm blunt about things, it's a fault of mine, and therefor it may be better for me just to sit and watch as opposed to opening my mouth.

Try "palladium". More results came back that way.

Don't be like the 2nd guy...



I agree, the search function is limited in what it can do. The problem folks have is when someone signs up and their very first post is "where can I find metal?"

Really? Heaven forbid that person get stranded somewhere and need to find water. Woe is them.

We just want people to take a tiny bit of initiative. You demonstrated that you have when you couldn't find what you were looking for. Granted it was spelled wrong, but you attempted to research it. That's all we ask. Tip: if you aren't sure how something is spelled (and I wasn't on pallidium/palladium), run it through Google.

well, mtnman, if your blunt about things you'll fit right in....most of us have gotten into trouble with someone else for that. We've all agreed lately to be a "kind and gentler" forum. You were reading an older thread !! Hang in with us.
