If all components were removed, about how many contact points
are on the board...as in, how many connections are there between
the board and its components? If it is a reasonable number, 
the ciruits could be learned via test equipment. I'd have to
check on the value of "reasonable number". If you've got a 7 layer
board, I'm guessing it's got bunches of components, though.
