I am buying a used Aptus 17 digital back and I will have an opportunity to test it before paying for it. Obviously, I will take some images and make sure it can capture an image.
Other than that, what should I do to test the back?

Ask the seller for the serial number of the back, then contact your local distributor or the dealer whom it was bought from to find out if it is still under warranty.
You can check the frame counter, which is at the bottom of the "Setup" menu (under "About".
Also look for any scratches on the IR filter and make sure that the fans are running quietly.
Try it with a CF card and also tethered (you can download the latest LC11 from our website)
Last, look for any missing accessories. In general you should have a 4.5m FW400 cable, 2 batteries, 1 charger, a Grey card and then a sync lead and a focusing screen, depending on the mount that the back is in.
Good luck
