How to determine if replaced M2 is new or refurb

[freefallnick]

I submitted for repair to DJI and after a few days of them receiving my M2P I got an email stating it would be repaired free of charge and a few days later they shipped it out. I just got it back and opened it up and I see the serial number is different on this one and it has stickers covering the sensors. Funny thing is they did not replace the broken and damaged propellers and shipped them back to me, oh well didn’t have to pay anything.

How can you tell if it is new or a refurbished drone?

For all refurbished products, the fifth from last character will be "S"or "R". Look at the FAQ section

I wonder if the "S" vs "R" designation is significant

I knowingly purchased a “refurbished” M2 Zoom and the 5th letter from the end is “S”. I haven’t had any trouble with it “yet”.
