Once you've uncovered the PCB[^PCB] and other loose parts of the device[^parts], we can try to identify the various components. In general PCB's are made with either "trough hole" (THT) or "surface mount" (SMD) components. SMD components are _extremely_ tiny[^tiny] and soldered _on top of_ a PCB. Due to their size, they are really difficult to handle. Their size makes it difficult to read any type of value notation, and actually soldering SMD components is such a frustrating process.[^collapse-OS]. THT components are bigger and have "legs" which are pushed trough holes drilled in the PCB, making them easier to solder & desolder.

There are an almost infinite number of parts[^interchangeable_part] that can be found in electronic devices. I’ve limited the field guide to the parts that I have found, and found relevant to mention, but you’re welcome to update.
