Now the market two categories of widespread renovation notebook computers, a large class of notebook manufacturers by refurbished notebook computers, the other by a number of underground factories on its own line of notebook computers doubled.

Let us take a look from the factory refurbished laptop notebook computers, the original renovation of the market to IBM notebook brand more common. As a result of these notebooks by IBM into the market after the original renovation, so product quality and appearance are very close to new notebook computers, so consumers can rest assured to use. But the original rework machines are generally only a one-year warranty service, and in terms of price than the brand-new laptop computers are much cheaper, so consumers do not care if it is regarded as a new notebook computer to buy back, estimates of business will be smiling at the news. In view of this fact, the original refurbished laptop, notebook manufacturers in the renovation of a notebook, refurbished notebook in order to prevent confusion with the new notebooks and disrupting the market, long time ago in a notebook left a mark, as long as our attention to the following places, can be very easy to identify the true knowledge of their hats.
First of all, we should pay attention to is the original renovation of the bottom of the laptop will have a marked "This product is refurbished and contains used parts" of a small label (which means that: The product has been renovated and includes parts used), Figure 1 below, left for a refurbished laptop, the little red circle in the bottom of which is marked for repairing small labels, and the right for a new laptop, above does not have this kind of small labels, the following To enlarge the label part, this is to identify the original IBM notebook rework a very important sign, of course, perhaps some cunning businessmen will tear up this label, but this label even after the tear will be left in a notebook the corresponding traces, so if we in the choice of notebook found at the bottom of a similar mark, we absolutely should have reason to refuse to accept this notebook, because a new notebook computer is unlikely to leave such traces

Another important logo are in brochure, as shown in Figure 2, in the notebook manual rework, but also a similar mark, the left is a laptop repair manuals, in the cover on the rework of related note, while the right side of the whole The new notebook computer description, cover the absence of such note, the following note for the enlarged part, please note that circled several places, clearly marked above the notebook containing used parts, and warranty period for 1 year .

The above mentioned renovation original notebook because of its quality is relatively bad, so the harm to consumers is still relatively small, while the other, is totally up to the underground workshop of the refurbished laptops, their quality can be is absolutely no guarantee. Because it is their own business renovation, is currently posing a new notebook computer for sale, of course, will not leave a mark in his notebook, so the method mentioned above for such notebooks have no role, but we can in accordance with the following methods to identify :

Method One: to check the surface of the notebook, the notebook computer keyboard in many places nearby such as a matte to deal with all these places because of frequent contact with the surface of human exposure, the time will be longer to make it smooth and shiny, this place is generally it is very difficult refurbished, can be used as an important basis for us to judge.

Method 2: Check notebook fixed screws, general merchants to buy the old laptop, there will be some problems, and merchants to carry out maintenance and refurbishment of the notebook computer notebook must be demolished, this is bound to screw in a number of the more obvious will be left behind scratch, so if the screws such traces were found on the notebook computers will have problems.

Method three: Check LCT screen surface to observe the above has a small traces of wear and tear, because the surface LCT thin, can not be polished, so the above is generally difficult to wear removed.

Method four: Check notebook surface odor, just Kaifeng notebook will have a taste of industrial cleaning fluid, which does not taste very good smell. The manual, refurbished notebook, due to the use of civilian detergent, notebook above there is a faint scent, and the surface of the notebook feels there will be some creamy;

Method five: Check the serial number of laptop, notebook by checking the serial number, we can understand the specific circumstances of the notebook. General notebook's serial number are located at the bottom of the label (Figure 3), we have to double-check whether it had been altered and was re-posted marks. Boot into the notebook computer's motherboard BIOS settings, check the BIOS serial number and the serial number of the fuselage is consistent with the serial number on the box checked, if these numbers are not the same, that the notebook has the potential to refurbish machines. In addition, we can also use the serial number in the notebook's website inquiries to the factory notebook specific time.
Method 6: Check the battery, when new notebook computer batteries should number no more than 3 times, battery power should not be in the 3%. If the battery charge and discharge the number is too high or too much, on this laptop has been used a longer period of time, can be suspected to be refurbished laptop computer. Need to pay attention to is that businesses may have been others in the notebook tried to drive as an excuse, but under normal circumstances when the test machine businesses will not use the battery to drive the notebook computers, but direct use of external power supply, so that under the pretext of obviously can not stand scrutiny.

Methods 7: Check random attachments, check the notebook all the random annex is necessary, these annexes include CD-ROM drive, manual, warranty card, etc., because merchants in the sale of refurbished notebook computers, it is difficult to collect these annexes integrity, in particular the product's instruction are generally printed their own, it is easy to identify. If the annex is not complete, it may be the notebook of a renovation. (At present, certain models of IBM notebook did not seem to attach CD-ROM drive, and only a recovery CD, this is a rather special thing, but the warranty card and a detailed description of it is complete, please be treated differently.
