If you can get the serial number compare it to the ones in this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-...he-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/

Once you have it, you should test to make sure it accepts RCM payloads.

I don't know what you mean be "testing on the console"; are you talking about Homebrew and games or physical hardware testing? Personally, I would check the following:

1) Firmware to see what games you can play (Ex: 4.x = no Smash Bros)

2) Are any of the efuses burnt, or have they been preserved? Also, is it running an emuNAND

3) Does the other person have a NAND backup(s)? I would still make my own ASAP, but if they made one before modifying the system, you have a 'clean' NAND copy to use with ChoiDujour in a worst-case scenario

4) Do they Joycons connect (if using your own) and do all the buttons work properly (if the deal includes them)? Do the analog sticks drift, are some buttons not as responsive as others, or do some buttons get stuck?

5) Does the system charge? Some people had third-party Switch docks that damaged the charging port, requiring repairs or 'alternative' charging methods

6) Do the power, volume +/-, game cartridge slot, and micro SD card slot work?

When I use this for a switch that I have NISB, the page just says "Warning" for the serial which starts with XAW7001808xxxx purchased in July 2017.
Maybe he needs to add a legend on what the results mean.. even the About page doesn't have anything..
