Apple uses water damaged boards in Apple refurbished devices? [video]
I kind of find this video to be disingenuous. She claims that the device was direct from Apple and only proof is by the parts they used and the craftsmanship, in the comments she does mention receipt, but no timeframe so could&#x27;ve been replaced by Apple the later repaired by someone else, also she implies 3rd party vendors parts and craftsmanship is just as good. So wouldn&#x27;t it stand to reason that it&#x27;s equally possible they got the repair done somewhere else and not mention it?<p>I&#x27;ve worked as a tech long enough to know customers often forget to mention all damage, issues &amp; past repairs. Sometimes out of malice, but generally simply because they forgot, they don&#x27;t know better or they weren&#x27;t privy to all the info (bringing it in for some other family member, so on).<p>Also, bad boards happen regardless if they&#x27;re refurbished or new. With Apple supplied boards I find that to be the exception rather then the rule. Wish I could say the same about 3rd party vendors, I understand it&#x27;s a cut throat business and Apple getting into the business a decade and a half ago didn&#x27;t help, but this video really seems to want to make Apple out as the villain trying to pass off crap products&#x2F;repairs as ok.
