Scrapping a PC - Lenovo M9169

[WEEE Ben]

Here's a Lenovo Thinkcentre M9169..





Another flip out thing here..

[WEEE Ben]

There we go, it's a nice looking set up here..

[WEEE Ben]

Motherboard is good but didn't have any RAM sticks..





CPU is one of them solid AMD types..

[WEEE Ben]

Very basic haul here, not much at all..





So I may aswell scap a dvd drive like I do..

[WEEE Ben]

Cover off and the typical insides.
I remove the main board first..





Then I remove that gold tipped ribbon cable, The dvd eye and the brass twirly rod from the motor..

[WEEE Ben]

And that's it, the rest I chuck into shred steel.
So from the dvd drive I get the low grade board, dvd eye, brass twirly and gold ribbon..

Also since i'm here I may aswell mention the heat sink mount brackets, 4 quick screw..





Underneath it's mounted onto this bracket which should also come off, sometimes they can stick and need to be pry'd off..





Happy scrapping!
