Fairly a discover: a "dangerous" Collection X on the pawn store for $100USD

Thanks for studying my put up!

Every now and then, I'll browse my native pawn retailers for gaming offers, regardless that I’ve the entire gaming consoles I may ever want (Collection S, OG Change, PS3/4/5, and a Steam Deck). I seen this Collection X at this time marked down from $309.99 to $99.99 with the phrase "Unhealthy HDMI" on the tag. Nearer inspection revealed how broken the HDMI port was, with a bent pin or two on the proper hand sids. It has its' fair proportion of built-up mud inside (but it surely was clear in any other case).

I took an opportunity on buying it with out testing it in-store (it was console solely, so no AC adapter or controller), and I used to be totally ready to ship it to an area store for re-soldering. However after a very good, cautious cleansing of the within, a show check confirmed it was working simply effective in any case! One manufacturing unit reset later and I'm in enterprise! Appears to be a launch model (mfg. date November '21) and it's the 1GB model, in fact.

Now, it'll in all probability nonetheless be one thing I'm going to be readyto restore, however I don't transfer my consoles all that always, so my plan is to depart the present HDMI cable plugged in securely and simply depart it alone! I'll pair it with my Collection S growth card too.

For anybody whose gotten their consoles secondhand, or have made the bounce from S to X, is there any worth in conserving the outdated one? Or is there every other quirky stuff I ought to take into account? Thanks!
