What I hold all of the others circuit board?

In a computer system, the motherboard holds all the other circuit boards. The video, sound, game ports, and all other daughter boards are attached to this important piece of hardware.


How were microchips built to go into the machines that now build microchips?

The first integrated circuit masks were hand made, then optically reduced. The wafers were then processed much as they are today using these reduced masks. Hand made masks were used well into the 1970s. All the early microprocessors were done with hand made masks. You can even download from Intel's website now masks and schematics, all hand drawn, for their original 4004.


Can someone get lead poisoning from handling computer circuit boards?

A person who changes a board on their computer a couple times a year, and does not eat the used board, NOA technician who works with boards all day and does not wash his hands before handling food (eating lunch) could be at riskA person who salvages boards for the metal content and does not use good safety practice will get lead poisoning, This is very prevalent in the third world where we ship our used computers.


What does a circuit board look like?

A circuit board consists of numerous electronic components, depending on the application, these components can be in the thousands or in the ten's, therefore circuit boards vary in numerous sizes, all connected using very fine electrical connection strands.


What circuit has all the coponents in one loop?

It is a series circuit with all the components connected in series.

All circuit boards contain microchips?

Circuit board is the name for the place / board that parts are put on to to make a circuit. All circuit do not have to have a microchip but that board will not do anything fancy. A speaker crossover for example is the only thing I can think of. All micro chips will need a circuit board to connect power, inputs, outputs, or just to mount into a package.


Where does a microchip go in your computer?

Everywhere. If you open your computer, you'll basically see four things mounted to circuit boards - capacitors, coils, connectors, and microchips. The CPU is a microchip, but there are a number of other microchips which are basically controllers for various other parts. Then there are some pieces which are technically microchips, but which are not really processors. Basically, all of the flat black colored pieces you'd see are microchips.

What effects do printed circuit boards have on the environment?

All I know is it has heavy metal in it and that's poisonous to the environment.


Why is the motherboard is called a mainboard?

Because it is the main circuit board in the computer that connect to all the other boards and component.


Why is the circuit board an important part of the cell phone?

As everybody can easily imagine each cell phone has an enormous number of FUNCTIONS to perform and these are all performed by 'elements' of the phone's circuit boards.


Where is the gold located on the computer boards?

It was once used in all the circuit boards such as the motherboard. However this was expensive, and it's rare to find any gold in modern computer electronics.


Are printed circuit boards poisonous?

The short answer is no, but be careful anyway. The board itself is made of paper and epoxy resin which is not toxic but is not good for you. The real problem is the components on the board and the solder. All solder on older boards will contain lead, but most newer boards use lead free solder as much as possible. Electrolytic capacitors if they burst can release corrosive chemicals and many other components contain mercury, gold, silver and various heavy metals. In other words don't eat it and be sure to wash your hands after handling before you eat or smoke. There are often flame retardants that are hazardous (carcinogenic) in PC boards.


Why do you use green masking and not any other ordinary color in printed circuit boards?

Green, Red, Purple, Gold, Blue are all used.
