Refurbished vs New HD+

[Esotic]

I have 2 HD+ models, one bought new from best buy and one bought refurb from 1saleaday.com and I haven't noticed any functional differences between them. Even buying a new HD+ at $150 seems like a great deal. I did quickly replace the stock rom on both with CM 10.1.

Cheers,

I just received my refurbished unit yesterday and it looks and acts like new. It does have the bad emmc chip however. I plan on running CM 10.1.3 so hopefully I won't have any issues. It did not have any problem booting off the SD and I backed up the stock system before and after registering. Will probably put CM on it this weekend after testing out the stock interface a bit.

Sp, I am purchasing 2 of them for my kdis thsi year for christmas, preowned, from ebay, from BlueProtron. I have no desire to root their devices- I am just getting them their own so they can stay off mine

If i do happen to get one of the bad chips, and if I don't plan on rooting, will I experiance any negative side effects?

I have also purchased one from BlurProton yesterday and have the same question. Really appreciated any answers.

In hand my Refur NOOK HD+ for nearly 1 weeks now, I have nothing to complaint about it. You definitely cannot differentiate the Ref and Brandnew ones. Now I am on CM 10.1 and planning to purchase more from Blueproton.
However, it still has the bad EEMC chip.

Just refrain from running trim and you will be OK. If you start to see lag you can do a backup and restore to sort it out.

I bought one new for myself, and a 'refurb' for a friend. The only difference I noticed when setting them up is that the refurb doesn't keep grip of the charger cable in the same way as the new one does.

How do I tell if I have a bad eemc chip?
