what to do with a dead motherboard

#1 Post by Andersonjoe711 » Thu Feb 21, 2008 1:41 pm

I took the motherboard out of the m pro in my sig, and replaced it with one for a 6230-SBC. Is that ok? and what should I do with the dead motherboard?

Send it to a recycler, if there is one in your area...
...unless someone here wants a dead motherboard for the shipping cost.

Common sense to some of us is unfortunately the higher education others strive to attain.

Put it on ebay to make profit, I hear some people repair these components.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
