How to provide proof of destruction for trade-in units

If you have requested to trade in your J-Link, J-Trace, or Flasher model, there's no need to send the unit back to SEGGER. To avoid unnecessary shipping, we ask that you properly destroy your current model instead. The following steps will show you how.

Proof of destruction for J-Link and J-Trace units

  1. Remove the cover of your J-Link or J-Trace unit.
  2. Drill a hole through the MCU as shown in the pictures below. Be careful not to damage the serial number.
