Hmm, sort of feels to me like if I want some parts of a free-box machine it becomes my problem to dispose of the rest... at least, once I've pulled it apart it becomes even less likely that anyone else will take what's left...
I understand what you're saying, and was aware of that (I saw some questionable behavior by others), and operated responsibly. I can't get into a long description of it right now.
This TV was fairly modular, as you can see: 5V/12V power supply, Wifi/BT, IrDA are all detachable. The boards you have no use of could be disassembled for parts, too.
