The commonality (or not) of the fault is irrelevant if you sold it as-is.

Well the sub-headng of your auction does say "fully working", and the body of the auction also states that it is "in good working condition, fully tested and running smoothly". If I read this on an "as-is" auction I would assume one of the following:

a. The "as-is" clause is a formality, and the system will be fine
b. The seller hasn't really tested it and doesn't actually know if it is working
c. The seller is lying and the system does not work at all

I might take a chance and bid on the item, but would be very disappointed if it arrived non-working after the auction stated that it was "fully working" and "fully tested". I would probably complain to the seller in this case.

Sorry of this is not what you wanted to hear. I'm not trying to offend you but I think that if you are selling an item "as-is" you shouldn't state also that it is fully working in another part of the auction as this is slightly contradictory.

Agree with all the comments about feedback. With regards to the "as-is" clause, I maintain that saying it is as-is in one part of the auction and that it is fully working in another does not make sense. I would put a single paragraph stating something like the following:

This item was tested recently and found to be working, however the functionality cannot be guaranteed due to its age. Also please bear in mind that due to its age it might not be straightforward to set up. If you do have any problems getting it working please contact me prior to leaving feedback and I will do my best to help you, but as stated this is an as-is auction as I will not guarantee the functional condition of the item.

IMHO that is clearer than just stating that it's "fully working" but also "as-is".
