Re: Pre fork BTC transferred to exchange from electrum, how to still extract BCH?
I checked in blockchair, and that shows 0.03 BTC and 0.01 BCC.
1. SHOULDN'T I HAVE EQUAL AMOUNT OF BCC?
Not necessarily... if that address has had BTC received or sent AFTER 1 Aug, then the BTC and BCH amounts won't be the same. Any BCH amount will ONLY be the same as the BTC that was in the address at the moment the fork happened.1. SHOULDN'T I HAVE EQUAL AMOUNT OF BCC?
Without having the address it is impossible to determine exactly what transactions have occurred, so I can only speculate that the address has received additional BTC after the fork which is why the balances show different amounts.

And then I installed electron cash in a separate laptop, created a new wallet, new seed, and after entering the wallet, I did
Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep.
Here, I entered the respective private key for 0.03 BTC, (the address field was already filled up), and clicked Sweep.
2. I got "No inputs found. (Note that inputs need to be confirmed)" message and that's it. Nothing happens.
I have set server to Auto connect. What is happening? Please help.
It would appear that the Electron Cash server you are connected to is unable to find any unspent BCH outputs for that address. It's quite possible, that your Electron Cash wallet is connecting to a BTC server (ElectronCash is a bit flaky like that)... you may want to untick AutoConnect and select one manually... look for the servers that specify BCC in the name. Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep.

After selecting a BCC server, you may need to shutdown ElectronCash, delete the blockchain_headers file from the EC datadir and restart ElectronCash and then wait for a few minutes for it to sync up...
