Which phones belong in this purchasing category?

This category includes partially dismantled non-smart mobile phones where the battery, back cover, and keypad have already been removed while the main electronic assembly remains together.

What components are normally expected to be removed?

These phones are generally presented without the original battery, back cover, and keypad. Additional dismantling is usually unnecessary before inspection.

What components should remain with the phone?

Whenever practical, the following components should remain together: * Main circuit board * Display module * Front housing * Charging connector * Speaker assembly (if present) Keeping the remaining assembly together helps simplify identification.

Should removed batteries or back covers be packaged with the phone?

No. Whenever practical, removed batteries, back covers, keypads, and other loose components should be sorted into their own purchasing categories.

Can smartphones be mixed with these phones?

No. This purchasing category is intended specifically for non-smart mobile phones. Smartphones should be sorted separately whenever practical.

Can phones with missing circuit boards still qualify?

The main circuit board is one of the key remaining assemblies used for identification. Phones without the remaining electronic assembly may require a different purchasing category or additional inspection.

Can damaged phones still be evaluated?

Possibly. Normal dismantling and cosmetic wear do not automatically prevent purchasing evaluation. However, heavy corrosion, fire damage, water damage, or missing major electronic assemblies may require additional inspection.

3. Customers do not need to reinstall missing parts before bringing the equipment to Ohata. The phones should be presented in their actual assembled condition at the time of inspection.

4. Whenever practical, partially dismantled non-smart phones should be sorted separately from complete non-smart phones, smartphones, loose mobile phone boards, removed batteries, and other electronic scrap. Proper sorting helps simplify inspection and supports accurate purchasing category identification.

5. The final purchasing evaluation is generally based on the remaining electronic assembly, overall completeness, physical condition, quantity presented, and current electronic scrap market conditions. Purchasing prices and buying conditions may change without prior notice.

Buying Details of Conditions

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.
