I'm a fan of factory refurbished devices. Microsoft has a similar policy to Apple where you get 14 days to return a product for any reason. There's a half decent chance that you can get a brand new device at a steep discount. Because open-box returns can no longer be sold as new, they have to be sold as refurbished, even if the device never left its original box. Other times a device just needed cosmetic repairs because it was scuffed during shipping, but is otherwise brand new.

@taylorwillis5556

Жыл бұрын

Factory refurbs can be cool, but only if I’m getting a decent discount. Usually they come with a reduced warranty period, and you don’t get that brand new unboxing experience. A lot of the time with consoles, you usually get a free 1-3 month XBL gold/game pass code/PS Plus code, or a freebie or something. Plus I’m really picky about my controllers, so if there’s even the slightest hint of stick drift/button sticking, chipped plastic or w/e, I have to buy a new controller. I did buy a factory refurbed gaming laptop 4 years ago from Razer, and it turned out to be a brand new laptop, just open box. I got a $200 discount so definitely worth.

With Apple and Microsoft, it's possible that their refurbished devices are new but didn't pass QC the first time around. Apple gives you the same 1 year warranty as a new device at MSRP and you can still add AppleCare. So your getting a reasonable discount on what is basically a new device.

Not to excuse poor work or shady practices by Gamestop, but the company that does Gamestop's refurbs surely has their techs under super tight time constraints and have quotas to meet.

will never forget how GameStop butchered Xbox 360 motherboards and called them “refurbished”

M$ probably also have a reflow machine with the correct board temperatures and a part holder to reflow and replace common faulty chips and parts like that hdmi, so it is aligned by eye but then placed by machine. That's what we used to use when I worked at a Sony authorised mobile repair center The machine would have templates for the correct amount of heat and times to heat the board andthe parts holder would have a digital alignment tool with documentation about what to align on screen with the cross hairs. Then it'd beep when the Han interaction needed to be done to manual start the part lowering and placement process, and start the reflow/change heating temperatures to reflow solder. This is the cheaper option as it's semi automated but accurate so each chip or hdmi connector that is replaced would be perfectly aligned and potentially as good or better then manufacture

Very interesting video, thanks for your work.

I would expect as a consumer that going with manufacturer would allow for replacement of parts like the casing.

I have a buddy that works for Microsoft and he said that Microsoft term for "Refurbished" is pretty loose. Aparently they called them refurbished even if the last customer returned it right after they got it.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching

I got a refurb from Microsoft and it’s like brand new. Plus if something is wrong ya still get that warranty for a year so no big deal. It was the only way I could get one due to the stock and I got to save like $50 than buying it brand new.

Over the years, I have ordered tons of Refer Microsoft stuff... Never an issue, always looked brand new.. If I was going down this road, no question I would selected the Microsoft one over Gamestop....

Hi steve do you still fix ninrendo 2ds?

Did you splice in old footage from the previous gamestop refurb teardown? There's a little debate between me and my son.😉

Anyone ese notice that the "perfect amount of thermal paste" is very different between the two xboxes?

How can I send you my Xbox one X project scorpio. Needs fixing turns on then it turns right off and there is no picture on screen idk if the HDMI Is busted idk.

Hello sir what is it when my Xbox still blows hot air on top after it been turned off please help

A friend of mine got a series s from Amazon renewed and it actually came in the Microsoft refurbished box! Meaning it was actually refurbished by the manufacturer!

Is this a re-upload? I feel like I've seen this before

Not a re upload but we used some of the footage from the video where I reviewed the Series X from GameStop. Since I was comparing the two consoles I wanted to use some of the actual footage from the one from GameStop

I don't think that Microsoft part is, but the game stop definitely is. I just came to the comments to see if I was the only one. May 27th, he uploaded a video of the game stop console. :/

@@Tronicsfix ah that makes sense. When u showed the broken corner on that chip, I was like I feel like I've seen this lol

I wish I could do this for a living. I love these kind of videos. What do I need to study to do this for a living?

Wish the refurbished companies put in what they fixed so that you can make an informed decision and if something goes wrong could be same issue

I got mine from GameStop and 2 weeks later it overheated and I fixed it easy fix cause I seen the fan not moving and I watched your fan replacement video

Hi 🖐️🖐️🖐️, I would like if you can take apart one console refurbished by yourself, so we can take a look to the perfect amount of thermal paste after being heated.

steve the sticker on the console has a service date instead of the manufacturing date

Does it has the perfect amount of thermal paste?

Please make a video on a comparison of a refurbished Nintendo Switch from Nintendo and a refurbished Nintendo Switch from Game Stop.

That's a good idea. Might have to do that.

Por que una Xbox renovada cuesta lo mismo que una nueva? No sería mejor comprar una nueva?

i have saw this video before! That gamestop xbox Motherboard 7:41 i recognized because i remember i saw this another video where things was exactly same ans u sayed same things

how was it the right amount of thermal paste you put way more on the first xbox than the second one

Hey I have a question, how much would it cost to have an Xbox one S repaired from liquid damage

New paste on old can affect temps slightly. This is just from my experience with GPUs.

I bought a switch from GameStop and it like brand new and it’s been half a year and no problems and it was pre owned

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed.

Unrelated to the video, but I have a quick question. Any household uses to clean deep scratches on a game disc. Or with a good product suggestion.

@@Martiganz_ I think DK Oldies might do disc resurfacing. Other than that I remember seeing a video on resurfacing a pretty scratched disc. The guy buffed it out with pumice paste and following through with a polish. He went into detail on why and how scratches cause problems with reading discs and explains how the pumice/ polish trick works to remedy the problem. However, if your disc is scratched all the way to the metal storage part your disc may not be salvageable. I’ll leave you the link to the video if I find it.

You can possibly find a disk resurfacing tool on the internet. The data is stored on the reflective side of the label on a transparent disk, so you can restore deeply scratched disks.

Either I'm clairvoyant or I've seen this video before. I remember the little broken chip and the smashed thermal paste.
