* Very, very rarely ... there will be '''signs of scorching'''; indicating that a major thermal event has taken place sometime during the life of the processor. Again, this is not necessarily a sure indicator that the processor should be recycled unless the damage is obviously severe (melted metal, etc.). This is a judgment call that experience will teach - '''Retain in Pre-test Storage'''. | * Very, very rarely ... there will be '''signs of scorching'''; indicating that a major thermal event has taken place sometime during the life of the processor.

CPU (Processor) Testing

CPUs are the "brains of the computer system. This is where all of the information and instructions are gathered from, processed, and redistributed to the other components of the system. The following will be a description of a VERY RUDIMENTARY TEST to determine the viability of a CPU to function in a system. In actuality, there are a multitude of details and issues involved that would take far more space to cover and time to perform than is practical in these circumstances. This is a very basic overview of the essentials that are necessary to get through the process. For more information please consult other experienced volunteers, instructors, or research such sources as Wikipedia or forums on Google.
