It's essentially impossible to tell what a circuit board does from just an image; even if you drew a schematic by following all the circuit traces, you'd be guessing as to what it does.
If you know what device it came from, the best place to start is to look on the web for a service manual- sometimes these have circuit diagrams and test diagnostics. It would also tell you what kind of power supply it needs and how the boards are supposed to be connected (assuming these are all from one device? I'm inclined to say they're from different objects).
In your last picture, if you look really close on the square chip in the middle, you should be able to read the manufacturer and identification numbers, that might give you a clue as well. The upper square looks like an LCD display like from a cell phone, but overalll the components look too big and clunky to be from a modern cell phone.
