I wouldn't waste time pulling off the eproms(Bottom Pic)or the other do hickeys there. Unless you see gold or a window in the case of the eprom, I wouldn't bother. As our esteemed Matt in the Hat said, it can lower the value of the board.

Is it worth it? That is up to you to decide, everyone values their time differently. I got time to do tv's when I want to, others don't, so they focus on what works for them and their situation.

An far as I know second pic is all copper baring. Third as I said above is Eproms, and...flatpacks I think. I dunno, I don't normally pull them unless their gold or special in some way.

Good luck!
