An update on that HDD I found a handful of weeks ago

I checked its SMART data. Here's what concerns me the most:

Reported Uncorrectable Errors: 00000000000A

UDMA CRC Error Count: 000000000001

(I never check anything except RAW)

Target Ewaste

Found an iPhone 11 in a target bin. Unfortunately its password locked with fmi on. Any ideas on what to do with it? Also found some less impressive flip phones.

Overall I was pretty lucky this time.

Where can I turn in old smartphones- iphone?

I started renting a room with friends and the previous person in the room left a few iphones in their old drawer. A couple were phones their friends gave to them when they didnt have one, another they found in a parking lot, cracked to hell. They've just been sitting in a drawer where they were left, and they're unneeded, just taking up space. Can they be recycled? If so, where?

I want to show my cellphone collection

All of these were found in my appartment complex recyclling room over a few years. I am very stoked about the N-gage of course, but also a few other classics. Most of them works, a few misses the battery cover. I have taken apart and cleaned some of them.

Just pulled this Dell Bigfoot from the trash bin, is this savable?

Found in a random trash can in Seattle. All switches seem to work and all click just fine, smells a bit Smokey (like nicotine.). AT or PS/2 Wire has been cut.

Some more cool stuff from my work

The CD players are really cool, if I had space I’d get the Sony 60 disc since it looks sick, probably isnt the best of quality though. Unfortunately the cds were mostly Christian Rock/Country, otherwise I would’ve asked for some, the dvd selection was good though.

Anybody know how to fix this Cassette deck?

When buttons pressed it flashes Er r1, in idle it’s Er r3. Does anyone know what’s going on?
No cassettes present, doors open fine, not all buttons trigger Er r1 but none trigger any movement or sounds or change on the screen.

My £15 joblot of 'professionally destroyed' phones. The executioner just hit them once with a hammer and drilled holes in empty plastic spaces. They all still boot perfectly.
