Reusing Electrical Components From Scrapped Stuff

What to look for on discarded electronics boards that might be useful in electronic experiments like joule thief, amplifier, etc.  All the basics: LEDs, plugs, switches, resistors, diodes, inductors, capacitors, ...

These are from routers and switches.


WARNING: Always use proper safety precautions when soldering or de-soldering.  Electronics contain toxic materials.  Recycle scrap.  Do not work on high voltage circuits.  If you don't know learn first or don't do it.
