Before buying a used PC

Ask the seller what games and functions were tested, whether any hardware restriction is known, and which returns and warranty terms apply to this particular item. Save the listing, order details, receipt and the seller’s answers. A test or return is not automatically guaranteed.

After an error: document the evidence

  1. Save the exact error code, screenshot, time, game and account notice. A connection problem or account sanction is not automatically a hardware ban.
  2. Check the game operator’s service notices and support guidance. Riot advises not attempting to log in with any account on a PC suspected of a Riot HWID ban. Contact official support.
  3. Ask the seller about the actual warranty and return terms. Contact the game operator with the used-PC purchase date, proof of purchase and exact message. Only the operator can explain its decision; reinstatement is not guaranteed.

Do not share passwords, verification codes or payment details in support requests.

Can replacing a part fix it?

A storage or other component swap is not a guaranteed fix. Do not assume a particular used part caused the issue. Epic advises removing identifier-changing tools when its separate hardware-identifier warning appears and warns of potential sanctions.

FAQ

Can a new owner appeal?

Ask the game operator about the available process and provide proof of purchase. An appeal or removal is not guaranteed.

Will the seller accept a return?

Return terms depend on the seller, listing and purchase. Keep the receipt and ask the seller before the relevant deadline.
