Mr. Martini asked:
My parents were afraid to throw away any electronic equipment after it broke. So the other day I was in our basement and I found 2 cd players with speakers, 32 inch TV, 4 printers, 2 computers, and like 3 cell phones. Is there a place that I can drop all this crap off at around the Chicago land area preferably around the Bensenville area? I have tried looking online and all the places I find are for corporations only and they charge a lot of money. Any suggestions?

stuff121 asked: Some devices like ipods, psps and gps devices have firmware updates which you can load into a hex editor.
I was wondering if it was possible to extract the firmware from electronic items which do not have updates, e.g. video games, gaming consoles, digital cameras etc. How might one do this?

Roy C asked:
We make portable consumer electronic products, and the battery contacts have been plated with hex chrome. With that eliminated in Europe by RoHS requirements we need a good substitute.
Trivalent chromium may have the same problems
Gold is too expensive.
Silver tarnishes.
Stainless steel works but is hard to form.
What other material can be plated on spring steel contacts that conducts well and resists corrosion at a price for consumer products?

caulfield789 asked:
Because of a shortage of desk space, my mom has put one of our computer speakers on top of our HP Pavilion Slimline tower and the other on top of our HP Photosmart C4180 printer. I told her that this was a bad idea, but only because I’d heard that speakers should be placed away from other electronic equipment. I don’t know why, though; can someone tell me? And should we really place the speakers in a different location?
