Introduction and Recycling Value

Ohata.ai buys main circuit boards removed from older non-smartphones, including basic mobile phones, feature phones, flip phones, and traditional keypad phones. Common examples include older phones manufactured by Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, Siemens, Alcatel, NEC, Panasonic, Sanyo, Kyocera, Sharp, BlackBerry, ZTE, Huawei, and other brands.

Brand names are provided only as identification examples. Acceptance is based on the phone type, circuit board, completeness, and physical condition, not the brand alone.

This category is intended for loose main circuit boards, not complete or partially dismantled phones. The battery, display, keypad, rubber buttons, front and rear housing, and other loose structural parts should not remain attached.

A typical non-smartphone cell-phone board may contain:

• A multilayer printed circuit board

• Baseband and application processors

• Flash memory and other storage components

• Radio-frequency amplifiers and communication circuitry

• Power-management integrated circuits

• SIM-card and memory-card connectors

• Charging and accessory connectors

• Microphones, cameras, shielding, and other directly attached components

• Copper tracks, solder joints, and plated contact surfaces

These boards may contain recoverable copper, gold, silver, palladium, tin, nickel, and other metals in varying quantities. Precious metals may be present in connector contacts, plated pads, semiconductor packages, radio-frequency components, and other electronic structures.

The board’s buying value is based on its construction, component population, completeness, physical condition, contamination, and processing requirements. Phone brand, model, network generation, operating condition, original selling price, and resale value do not determine the category by themselves.

Identification Guide

This category is intended for the main circuit board removed from a non-smartphone. The board should retain its original integrated circuits, chips, connectors, and other factory-installed electronic components.

Accepted boards may come from:

• Older Nokia bar-style and feature phones

• Motorola flip phones and keypad phones

• Samsung and LG basic mobile phones

• Sony Ericsson feature phones

• Siemens and Alcatel keypad phones

• NEC, Panasonic, Sanyo, Kyocera, or Sharp mobile phones

• Other traditional non-smartphone cellular phones

Some early touchscreen phones and BlackBerry models may be classified separately after inspection.

To qualify as a Non-Smartphone Cell Phone Board, the material should meet these conditions:

• The battery must be completely removed

• The back cover must be removed

• The keyboard, keypad, and rubber number pad must be removed

• The circuit board must be removed from the phone housing

• Front and rear plastic covers must be removed

• The LCD screen should be removed

• Loose speakers, metal frames, and unrelated parts should be removed

• Original chips and electronic components should remain on the board

• The board must not be severely burned, chemically treated, or intentionally damaged

Small connectors, cameras, shielding, and other original components directly attached or soldered to the circuit board may remain.

Complete or partially dismantled phones, smartphones, smartphone boards, batteries, displays, empty phone shells, chargers, cables, and accessories do not qualify in this loose-board category. These materials may require separation or another classification.

Buying Conditions, Data Security, and Handling

Non-smartphone cell-phone boards do not need to function. Operational testing is generally unnecessary because classification is based on physical construction and recoverable material rather than electronic performance.

Boards should remain complete, dry, reasonably clean, and identifiable. Minor dust, ordinary handling wear, faded markings, and limited cosmetic damage may be acceptable. Removed processors, missing memory components, cut board sections, broken connectors, severe corrosion, burn damage, chemical treatment, or substantial contamination may affect classification and buying value.

This category requires the battery to be removed. Only remove a battery when it can be done safely without puncturing, crushing, bending, opening, or short-circuiting it. Do not attempt to remove a swollen, leaking, punctured, unusually hot, burned, or otherwise hazardous battery. Contact the Seattle yard before transporting a device with a damaged battery.

Lithium batteries must never be mixed with circuit boards because damaged batteries can create fire and transportation risks. Keep batteries, displays, plastic housings, keypads, chargers, cables, and other material separate from the circuit boards.

Non-smartphone boards should be separated from smartphone boards and other circuit-board categories whenever practical. Mixed categories are accepted but may require separate inspection, sorting, weighing, and pricing.

Cell-phone boards may retain contacts, messages, account information, or other stored data. Customers are responsible for removing their personal information.

Once we purchase or receive a data-bearing device, it undergoes certified software data destruction or complete physical shredding. Because of this process, we cannot recover files or other data.

Severely burned, extensively corroded, chemically treated, hazardous, heavily contaminated, or unidentifiable material may be rejected after inspection.

Category Comparison

Non-smartphone cell-phone boards should be distinguished from smartphone logic boards, complete mobile phones, displays, loose batteries, empty housings, and unrelated circuit boards.

Smartphone boards generally have different processors, memory packages, radio architecture, component density, and board construction. Complete phones contain batteries, screens, plastic housings, frames, speakers, and other material that is not included in this loose-board category.

Official Ohata Classification

Under the Official Ohata Classification, this category includes recognizable main circuit boards removed from non-smartphone cellular phones, including qualifying feature-phone, flip-phone, and traditional keypad-phone boards.

A qualifying board should have:

• Recognizable non-smartphone cell-phone board construction

• Its principal integrated circuits and radio-frequency components retained

• No battery, display, keypad, plastic housing, or loose accessory attached

• A complete and identifiable PCB

• No severe hazardous contamination

The board does not need to function. Minor dust, ordinary wear, and limited cosmetic damage may be acceptable. Boards with removed ICs, missing sections, severe corrosion, burn damage, chemical treatment, or substantial contamination may require another classification or may be rejected after inspection.

Different manufacturers, models, network generations, and original phone values may receive the same category price when their boards meet this standard.

All materials are inspected before the final category, weight, and buying price are confirmed. Published pricing applies only to boards that meet the stated conditions. Final acceptance, classification, net weight, and purchasing value are determined by Ohata.ai after physical inspection.
