    I have spoken with my R2 regarding these in the past here is my knowledge of information gleaned:
    Boards inside are midgrade to high grade boards (I've seen some nice ones and some really cheap-o ones) but they are small and are about the weight equivalent of a laptop hard drive board (although they won't give you THAT price for them.)

    The screens: I'd pay money to see someone get one off without cracking it. I've tried I don't know how many ways- and have never accomplished that feat.

    The batteries contained within are stuck into the unit with some type of gorilla/NASA space aged sticky substance that will render it worthless if it isn't swollen.

    If you can sell them whole and get something out of them: That is what I would do personally. Scrap in them is minimal at best. Probably 90% of it ends up in the trash as it is about 90% glass and plastic.

    If anyone has any better tips or ways to maximize these.. I'm all ears.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
