One of the many reasons for buying Refurbished aside from knowing they're providing (hopefully!) consistently good stock is not being in situations like this.
This was a high spec Marketplace purchase - 14-inch MacBook Pro M2 Pro 12-Core with 1TB SSD sold as all fully working. Apple Hardware Diagnostics fully passed with no crunchy keys, all key functions ok and no keyboard backlight staining even us and our 20 years of experience were shocked to see this device internally like this.
Aside from being more expensive than one of our equivalent spec models at the time - this Mac comes with free internal corrosion and if the customer didn't ask us for a comprehensive check for their peace of mind - they would have been left with a very hefty repair bill a couple of months later close to around 80% of the purchase price of this device.
Buy Smart. Buy New or Buy Refurbished - no hidden nasties - just quality devices at a great price.
Our TA1 Refurbishment process is one of the strictest around with our graded devices will ALWAYS have an original Apple display and a battery health of at most 400 cycles and at least 85% battery - you can be sure you're purchasing device that will last and 1 years RTB warranty for your peace of mind.
