Hey guys.

So, literally got my OLED model a couple of days ago. Its fantastic - I love it.

However, I did notice that when I unboxed it, the USB-C port had a slight dent/chip on one of the corners of it. It charges no problems at all. I’m just wondering, could this cause any problems down the line? Ideally, I don’t want to have to go through the hassle of trying to return/fix etc for something that may not even cause issues. However, my knowledge of USB-C ports isn’t nearly deep enough to know if this is a concern or not.

Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers all :)

    Looks good so far. However you have to take the following into concern: The usbc port is directly connected to the mb, which is good in terms of efficient design but very bad for you if it starts crumbling down in a year. Would it be connected to e.g. to the joystick platine you could simply change that. The mb no chance. You dont get one and if its costly. I dont know where you are located but e.g. in germany we have something called gewährleistung. Which is a kind of a 2 year warranty every seller has to accept. However if the device is older than 6 month you need a proof that the defect was there before you got the goods. Unrelated if you have a similar law or not i would contact support and at least tell them, that you noticed it after you unpacked the deck. They might be more open to a rma if you can reference the ticket if it really breaks in a year. They might also have the best advice :)
