• Inspection first. Before any work begins, your box is stripped and assessed. You get a clear picture of its condition — no surprises, no anonymous cores swapped in.
• Rebuilt to specification. Worn components are replaced with the correct parts and reassembled using controlled processes.
• Tested and recorded. Every reconditioned unit is measured and tested, with the results recorded so the proof travels with the box.

It's the same standard we apply to new production: traceable parts, controlled processes and evidence-backed testing. The difference is that it's your box, returned to you as it should be.

What "genuine" means to us

Genuine isn't a marketing word. For us it means three things:

• Traceable parts — every component accounted for, no anonymous cores.
• Controlled processes — built to original specification, the way the factory intended.
• Evidence-backed testing — measured, tested and recorded, so the proof travels with the box.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's why we describe the result simply: as if the factory never shut.
