Arnuphis Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Congratulations! Model 3 is such a cool looking machine with it's silver case. Does it have any disk drives? That will affect what happens when its turned on. If it's being shipped you really want to open it up and check everything is intact/reseat chips etc. Before powering it on. You may also want to look out for RIFA caps in the power supply as they can make some 'magic smoke'. I will defer to the experts here for anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
