Buying Details of Conditions
Introduction, Construction, Components, and Recycling Value
All qualifying units are purchased according to the Whole Laptops (Non Working, Good Screen) grade price. A specific model name does not automatically determine the grade. The final classification depends on the condition, completeness, screen quality, contamination level and recoverable component content of the entire laptop.

A laptop normally consists of several major assemblies:
LCD or LED display panel, bezel, hinges and display cables
Motherboard with CPU, chipset and integrated controllers
RAM modules or soldered memory
Cooling fan, heat sink and copper heat pipes
Keyboard, touchpad, speakers and internal cables
Battery, charging circuit and power connector
Plastic, aluminum, magnesium-alloy or mixed-material housing
Wireless cards, USB ports and other peripheral boards
Even non-working laptops retain recycling value through their motherboard, processors, memory, storage devices, wireless cards, copper, and precious metals. A physically intact screen is especially important because it may be suitable for refurbishment or parts recovery.
The overall buying value is based on the complete unitโs construction, installed components, screen condition, housing condition, completeness, contamination, and processing requirements. Different brands, models, and generations may receive the same category price when they meet the Ohata Whole Laptops (Non-Working, Good Screen) standard.

Recoverable Materials, Buying Standards, and Handling
Whole laptops contain a combination of reusable components and recyclable materials.

Copper is found in motherboard traces, charging cables, motors, inductors, heat pipes and internal wiring. Aluminum and magnesium alloys may be present in the housing, structural frame and heat sink. Steel is used in screws, brackets and reinforcement structures.

Small quantities of gold may occur on connector contacts, memory contacts, processor contacts and inside semiconductor packages. Silver and palladium may be present in certain electronic components and solder-related materials. Nickel, tin and other metals are also distributed throughout the assemblies.

Ohata purchasing standards generally require laptops to be:
Complete and identifiable
Non-working or sold without a functional guarantee
Fitted with an intact, physically good screen
Free from major fire or heat damage
Free from heavy dirt and hazardous contamination
Free from severe battery swelling or leakage
Packed and transported safely
Protect batteries from damage during storage and transportation. Do not puncture, crush, bend, or forcibly remove a swollen, leaking, or damaged battery. Keep affected laptops separate and identify the battery condition before handling or delivery. Pack laptops flat with suitable protection to prevent screen damage. Separate different laptop conditions whenever practical. Mixed conditions are accepted but may require separate inspection, sorting, counting, and pricing.
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.
Official Ohata Classification
Under the Official Ohata Classification, any brand or model that satisfies all required standards is purchased as Whole Laptops (Non Working, Good Screen) at the applicable grade price. Units that fail the completeness, screen, cleanliness or safety requirements will be reclassified, downgraded or rejected after inspection.
A qualifying laptop will generally have:
Complete laptop construction: The display assembly, main chassis, motherboard, keyboard area, and bottom housing remain together as one recognizable unit
Non-working condition: The laptop may fail to power on, charge, boot, or operate correctly
Physically good screen: No cracked glass, liquid-crystal leakage, major pressure damage, large damaged areas, missing panel sections, or severely bent display frame
Acceptable overall condition: The housing remains reasonably intact, and the unit is dry, identifiable, and free from hazardous contamination
A powered-off black screen does not automatically indicate physical screen damage. Unless functional testing is specifically arranged, the good-screen requirement refers primarily to the visible physical condition of the panel, bezel, hinges, and display assembly.

Laptops with cracked screens, missing motherboards, detached display assemblies, substantial structural damage, severe burning, or hazardous contamination do not qualify for this category and require separate evaluation.
Different brands, models, processor generations, and screen sizes may receive the same category price when they meet the Ohata Whole Laptops (Non-Working, Good Screen) standard. Final classification, quantity, and buying value are confirmed after physical inspection.
