After 2 months of  back and forth with steam I have finally been issued a replacement, however the rep still wants me to send back the original. I told him that the UPS centre wont accept my package as it has a swollen battery, but now he has sent a courier to my house to collect it (I told the courier that I didn't have anything to send him and it must be a mistake).

I'm at a loss of what to do now. I want to end the SE on good terms because the only reason I went for the replacement method is so that I could use my main steam account on the replacement deck without it being potentially flagged etc. and I was gonna sell the original one to recoup the costs.

Any ideas ?

say it exploded and you disposed of it. pay someone to edit a picture/video for you. lots of options still

I could certainly try that however, its been 2+ months and I don't know how believable it is, that it suddenly combusted as soon as he sent the replacement.
