Description
Used desktop computers come from desktop computers scrapped in the process of consumption, according to the display model is divided into CRT desktop computers and LCD desktop computers, except for some LCD desktop computers that are not integrated machines, the vast majority of desktop computers are composed of two parts: host and monitor. The process represented in this dataset is that after entering the dismantling workshop, the used LCD desktop computer is decomposed using manual and mechanical physical processes to form dismantling products such as materials or parts, and manual dismantling uses manual, pneumatic, and power tools to dismantle all components, parts, cables, etc. that can be directly disassembled (excluding computer accessories such as mice and keyboards).
