Cell phone Board(Non-smart Phone) No Battery No Back no keyboard buying scrap price

Remaining Electronic Assembly Defines This Category

This purchasing category is intended for non-smart mobile phones that have already been partially dismantled while the main electronic assembly remains together.

These units typically no longer include the original battery, back cover, or keypad.

There is generally no need to remove additional components before bringing the equipment to Ohata.

Keep the Remaining Assembly Together

Whenever practical, keep the remaining electronic assembly together, including:

• Main circuit board

• Display module

• Front housing

• Charging connector

• Speaker module (if present)

• Microphone assembly (if present)

Keeping the remaining components assembled helps preserve the equipment’s identifiable condition and may simplify inspection.

Do Not Continue Dismantling the Phone

The equipment does not need to be dismantled further before inspection.

Whenever possible, leave the remaining electronic assembly intact.

Removing the main circuit board, display, charging connector, or other remaining assemblies may require additional inspection.

If the phone has already been dismantled, keeping the remaining parts together may help simplify identification.

Sort Removed Components Separately

Whenever practical, removed components should be sorted into their own purchasing categories rather than being placed back inside the phone housing.

Examples include:

• Phone batteries

• Back covers

• Keypads

• Chargers

• Charging cables

• Loose phone circuit boards

Sorting different materials separately helps improve inspection efficiency.

Damage Beyond Normal Dismantling

Normal dismantling does not automatically prevent purchasing evaluation.

However, additional inspection may be required for phones with:

• Missing main circuit boards

• Missing display assemblies

• Fire damage

• Heavy corrosion

• Water damage

• Cut internal wiring

• Heavy contamination

Working condition is not required for this purchasing category.

Typical Sources of This Material

Partially dismantled non-smart phones are commonly generated through:

• Electronic recycling

• Manual dismantling operations

• Refurbishment facilities

• Component recovery

• Legacy mobile phone recycling

Sorting these phones separately from complete mobile phones and loose electronic components helps support efficient inspection.

Final Purchasing Evaluation

The final purchasing evaluation is generally based on:

• Correct purchasing category

• Remaining electronic assembly

• Main circuit board present

• Overall completeness

• Physical condition

• Quantity presented

• Current electronic scrap market conditions

Purchasing prices and buying conditions may change according to the material presented and current market conditions.

Once you believe your processors match the item's characteristics, you don’t need to confirm the final grade yourself. The next step is simply to check the current buying information, keep the processors intact and prepare them for inspection.

STEP 1 – Check Today’s Buying Prices and Sort Your Materials

Before visiting our Richmond yard, please review the latest Canadian e-scrap buying prices and identification guides in the Ohata Scrap Wiki.

You can also use Ohata.AI Vision 1.0 Beta 1.0 to investigate an unfamiliar circuit board. Upload a clear photograph, and the tool can analyze visible features, such as the board’s shape, CPU socket, integrated circuits, connectors and component layout, to suggest what type of board it may be.

Buying prices and conditions may change with the market, so checking the applicable item page before you leave can help you understand how your material should be prepared.

Whenever practical, separate your e-scrap into groups such as:

• Computer motherboards

• Hard drives and HDD controller boards

• Server boards

• Laptop motherboards and logic boards

• Telecommunications boards

• CPUs and memory modules

• Power supplies and cables

• Other or uncertain electronic scrap

You don’t need to assign every item a final grade yourself. If something is unfamiliar, keep it in an “uncertain” group and use Ohata.AI for a preliminary photo-based identification.

Walk-ins are welcome during regular business hours, and no appointment is required for most ordinary drop-offs.

If you have a large commercial load, palletized shipment or an unusual type of material, please contact the Richmond team before visiting so we can prepare for your arrival.

STEP 2 – Bring Your E-Scrap and Valid Government-Issued Photo ID

Please bring your electronic scrap together with a valid government-issued photo ID.

Examples may include:

• British Columbia Driver’s Licence

• BC Identification Card

• BC Services Card with photo

• Canadian passport

• Permanent Resident Card

• Other valid government-issued photo identification

Business sellers may also be asked to provide company information or supporting documentation when applicable.

Clearly separated and labelled material is usually quicker to inspect. If possible, prepare the approximate weight and quantity for each group before visiting.

Please also remember that computers, servers, hard drives and solid-state drives may contain personal or business information. Back up anything you need and follow your own data-security requirements before the equipment leaves your control.
