Can You Still Use the Device If the Tamper Sticker Is Damaged?
Overview: Key points you should know about: Can You Still Use the Device If the Tamper Sticker Is Damaged.
Key takeaway: For inspection and first-time setup, confirm seals, serial number, and the initialisation flow are all official. Any prompt asking for the recovery phrase or PIN should halt the process immediately.
Action steps:
- Inspect the tamper sticker for prying marks or residue.
- Photograph the damage and the courier packaging.
- Stop unboxing and contact the seller or Ledger.
- Keep the outer packaging and the invoice as evidence.
- Only order a replacement once the issue is acknowledged.
Safety reminder: Never enter your recovery phrase or PIN into a device or software whose authenticity you haven't verified. If a seal or serial number looks abnormal, stop using the device immediately, contact official support, and — if needed — switch to a new unit and migrate your assets.
