Second hand deck? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by rendez2k@lemmy.fmhy.ml to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
 

Hi all, just purchased a pretty much brand-new deck (used for 2hrs) from eBay. I've also got the receipt. Is there anything I should be aware of? It was only purchased last month, will valve honour any warranty?

Edit. Turned up yesterday and it's immaculate so all good so far! Doesn't even look used so I'll count this as a good buy for now!

It should transfer but is not extended.

. . . This Warranty is transferrable to natural persons who receive the Hardware as a gift from the Purchaser; transfer pursuant to this sentence shall not otherwise expand this Warranty. . .

Beyond that and the usual external hardware checks, a factory reset is probably a good idea.

"gift" feels like a very important word on that sentence that is being overlooked
