How to tell if Launch scanner is original or clone

Hi, friends. How to tell if Launch X431 scan tool is genuine or clone?

Reply: check if genuine is the serial numbers inside case where the battery sits

launch x431 original

On some is, on some no.

The one with damaged chip does not have serial number label inside battery compartment. But maybe it had and sticker was removed…

Stickers are also too easy to fake.
But genuine has serial 1 digit different to the matching smartbox serial

This is a site with genuine Launch scanners:
