How do I tell what components are in an item? - Black and Gray Computer Motherboard

I enjoy crafting, this requires a lot of components. I've got loads of wood and steel but I need rarer items like screws, gears and circuitry. Is there a way to tell what components an item contains?

This may already be a bit obvious but if you are near your workshop, use it (press E) to enter the item inspector, or hold V anywhere inside of a settlement, and then look around at the various items you find lying around the settlement. From this view, you get the option to scrap an item. Press the R button to scrap the item(X on XBox, Square on PS), and it will also list the component parts.

Of course, this is really only useful while you are near your settlements, but it may help to give a quick impression of what various kinds of items contain without needing to pick them up first...
