Sega Dreamcast Upgrade Service

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

UPGRADE SERVICE

With this service, we do not charge a troubleshooting fee, only the cost of the component(s) and installation fees as described below. If the user supplies their own component(s), we only charge the installation fee and return shipping fee.

NOTE: Please read this listing in its entirety so you fully understand this process.

Service Example – The customer wishes to upgrade to a Noctua fan. The customer initiates the order by paying the return fee. Sega replay will reach out via email to confirm the details of the order and then send an invoice for the service and parts. The customer then ships the unit to us at their expense.The customer pays $20 for the Noctua Fan, $30 for installation, and a $20 return-shipping fee up front). We upgrade the unit and do a courtesy internal cleaning, external wipe-down before professionally packaging and insuring the hardware for return shipping. Since the customer paid for return shipping up front, there are no further fees.

We also recommend taking a picture of the console from different angles prior to shipping in the event you need to file an insurance claim.

RETURN SHIPPING – We charge a flat rate of $20 which includes shipping, insurance, professional packing, and the liability of any issues which might occur in the return shipping. Should the hardware become damaged or lost during the return trip, we will file the insurance claim for you and refund the claimed value or replace the unit.

TIME TO REPAIR

There are many variables in diagnosing and repairing a console which make it difficult to give a standard time to complete a repair order. Depending upon our current backlog, complexity of the service, and availability of parts, the worst-case-scenario is up to 90 days, however, most should be completed within 30 days.

RETRO-BRITING

We have a lot of experience retro-briting consoles for reselling with great results. However, each console has a unique history and we cannot guarantee the hardware will be perfect when completed, only substantially improved. Furthermore, as we cannot control the environment of the hardware, nor the rate of deterioration of the plastics, we do not warrant this service.
