In India , technicians are repurposing broken and outdated laptops that many see as junk.
These Frankenstein ’ machines are hybrids of salvaged parts from multiple brands.
They are sold to students, gig workers, and small businesses, offering a lifeline to those priced out of India ’s digital economy.
The market is a chaotic maze of discarded electronics, where workers sift through mountains of broken circuit boards, tangled wires, and cracked screens.
While e-waste salvaging provides cheap repair materials, it comes at a steep price.
Without proper safety measures, workers handle toxic materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium daily .
