Not sure on the wired bit, the board will depend on further processing. Boardsort doesn't like glass so really the whole plastic but should come off but you could potentially just remove the mirror(s and any other glass I can't see). Best case without disassembly I'd guess midgrade but maybe closer to the take apart category. If you take one apart and post pictures of just the board we can give you an idea on J that

Thanks - but was asking about the laser diode specifically. Included the full assembly photo just in case the context was helpful.

Really not sure on the diode as is. Probably need it out of the housing.

Grade on the board now that the camera is removed? Looks like the chip/sensor has gold wires
