🔍 Real Gold Hidden Inside Old Laptop Hard Drives Hidden inside old laptop hard drives is real gold — and in this video on Scrapping Irish, I break them down to show you exactly where that gold is hiding. We tear down laptop hard drives, remove the circuit boards, and identify gold-bearing components like gold-plated connector pins and integrated circuit (IC) chips. I also show what’s inside those chips — including the microscopic gold bond wires most people never get to see. You’ll watch the chips being removed using heat, followed by a high-level overview of how electronic scrap can be processed — from incineration to chemical refining — to recover and refine the gold hidden inside modern electronics. ⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER This video is for educational and informational purposes only. Electronic scrap processing involves high temperatures, hazardous materials, and dangerous chemicals. Do not attempt these processes without proper training, equipment, and safety precautions. 🔧 WHAT’S IN THIS VIDEO • Laptop hard drive teardown • Where gold is found in hard drives • Gold-plated pins and connectors • IC chips and gold bond wire • Chip removal using heat • Overview of gold recovery and refining f you enjoy scrapping, refining, or learning what’s inside electronics: 👉 Like the video 👉 Subscribe to Scrapping Irish 👉 Comment what you want to see scrapped next 🔗 MORE GOLD RECOVERY VIDEOS If you want to see more real-world gold recovery and processing, check out these related videos and playlists: 👉 Gold recovery from gold-plated pins =sozlAG9CapE&list=PLQE5Dr5ldl3tCAXg1cDdtKnzPO9h20f0i 👉 Incinerating IC chips for precious metal recovery =YCvnGIPvsBY&list=PLQE5Dr5ldl3uPLhZaXF8BTIqYx9ECc84_&index=1 #GoldRecovery #ElectronicScrap #EScrap #ScrapGold #GoldInElectronics #HardDriveScrap #GoldPlatedPins #ICChips #PreciousMetalRecovery #EWasteRecycling #ElectronicsRecycling #Scrapping #ScrappingIrish
