​How Our Refurbishing Process Works

2nd Sep 2022

If you’re looking to purchase affordable and reliable IT hardware, you’ve come to the right place. At ServerWorlds, we’re proud to offer our customers the best in refurbished computers, monitors, hard drives, and so much more. With top brands like HP, Dell, IBM, and Sun, we have everything you need at a fraction of the price that you’ll find when you buy new hardware.

Part of the reason that we are able to offer such amazing prices on all of our products at ServerWorlds is that we do all of the refurbishing ourselves! We have a 91,000-square-foot warehouse and a team of IT experts that meticulously test everything before making them available to you.

Access Any Damages

The first step that we take when we receive any sort of hardware that needs to be refurbished is accessing any damages. In short, we closely inspect the hardware inside and out and from every angle. We check for damages to the body or casing, ports, drives, and more. We’ll also plug it in, if applicable, to see if it powers on as it should.

Perform a Deep Clean of the Unit

Once we’ve checked for any damages on the outside and inside of the hardware and we know if it powers on or not, our IT experts will meticulously clean each piece using compressed air. This includes dusting the motherboard as well as any fans, disk drives, ports, power supplies, and more.

While we’re cleaning, we continue to look for any broken parts that we may have missed initially. If we take something out or apart while we’re cleaning, we’re sure to replace it or put it back when we’re done.

Make Any Necessary Upgrades

While inspecting and cleaning the hardware, our team is sure to make any necessary repairs and/or upgrades to the hardware. The ultimate goal of providing high-quality refurbished products is for them to seem as new as possible, so if we find that anything needs a new piece or an upgraded replacement, we take our time to install it.

If we’re refurbishing a server, for example, we always make sure that it has the latest operating system and software installed. Once we’ve finished upgrading or replacing any necessary parts, it’s time to turn it on to make sure that it’s working as it should!

Recycle Any Unusable Items, Software, or Products

The last part of our refurbishing process at ServerWorlds is to properly recycle any unusable items or hardware that we’ve found during the process. Before we recycle anything, we are sure to erase any stored data before disassembling each item.

Properly recycling unusable items is important because these electronics contain valuable metals like copper, silver, gold, and palladium that are difficult to mine from the earth. By recycling, we can avoid mining which, in turn, helps reduce pollution. At ServerWorlds, we’re passionate about doing our part in taking care of the planet by recycling or refurbishing these electronics.
