Disc Based Items
Each disc is meticulously inspected for any scratches or blemishes; if any are found, the disc is resurfaced with our Echo Master professional resurfacing equipment and then rigorously tested to ensure it plays properly. If a case is included with the disc game the case is cleared of any debris and stickers along with being sanitized.
Cartridge Based Items
Each cartridge is disassembled (when practicable) and the case is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized inside and out, followed by a thorough cleaning of the board pins and board itself with BW-100. The cartridge is then reassembled and rigorously tested to ensure proper operation.
BEFORE
Gaming Systems
Each gaming console undergoes extensive testing to ensure that it functions as intended. The second step involves disassembling the console, meticulously cleaning its inner components, and replacing any faulty parts, such as swollen or leaking capacitors. The system's outer and inner shells are cleaned, and yellowed shells go through our Retrobright process when possible. All systems with a possessor receive new Arctic MX-2 thermal paste, regardless of their age, with the exception of the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X, which receive Liquid Metal Thermal Compound.
Controllers
Each controller is rigorously tested with our Retroverse controller testing equipment and through game play. Once the controller has passed all tests, we disassemble it, thoroughly clean both the inner and outer portions, clean the controller board, and replace any components that appear deteriorated or are not in acceptable condition according to our standards. The controller is subsequently reassembled and retested using our Retroverse controller testing equipment.
When you purchase a gaming system from us, you can be confident that it has been thoroughly inspected, taken apart meticulously cleaned, and refurbished.
