With the exception of the wii u, pretty much all of my consoles were ones that I bought as "defective". Most of the time a good clean was all that was needed. Sometimes I had to replace one part or the other. The worst was a 3DS XL with a broken hinge that needed a full teardown just to remove that one plastic part.
