Components such as ADC, logic, memory, solenoid, signal processing
ICs, FETs, caps, diodes, connector, etc that are worth more than a PIC.
It's not always known what caused the PCB to fail of course, pot luck
plays a part. The absolutely huge amount of PCBs dumped makes for
quite a good treasure hunt though and worth the effort
