Title: Turbo CD and base matching serial number
Post by: wilykat on April 07, 2015, 07:35:40 PM

Hadn't really paid much attention but I noticed the serial number on my CD drive and base unit are the same.  I am the original owner so the serial number is probably matched from factory to make it easier to keep track of customer return for repair.

It's been a while since I've seen the original box but does it have serial number on it as well?  I'd have to go to my parent's attic and dig it out so it would be a while before I can do it.

That's neat. I don't know if anyone ever pointed this out before.

I always try and keep the serial numbers together when repairing CD-rom systems. And yes, the box does have the serial number on it.  There is also a smaller box inside the huge box that just holds the CD-ROM drive itself and it has the serial number on it also.
