Returned MBP - will Apple know I installed extra RAM?

[MyAppleWorld]

Hey

I just thought - so apple exchanged my MBP within 14 day grace and before i sent back the old one, I took out my 16gb and put back the 4gb ram supplied.

Will apple know i made the modification? I mean is it logged? will they care??

RAM nad HDD are considered user upgradeable parts. They won't care.

You could always put your original RAM in if necessary? Unless you got rid of it

He did before he sent it back.

So u returned the machine in its original configuration. What's the problem?

 

[MaxPower72]

too much paranoia ... you gave them back the machine with its original components you're safe and they won't know.

 

[Freyqq]

as long as you replaced it correctly with the original components, it is virtually impossible for anyone to tell.

Who said anything about a problem?

Some BIOS's on windows machines log things such as hardware changes.
I was really asking if Apple's equivalent had the same.

I'm holding off upgrading my new one for a few days

 

[Mrbobb]

So your question should had been, Will they deny my return since I open it?


No answer but next time, don't do ANYTHING modification, sticker, buy expensive case blah-blah until after the return period. U won't die to wait 14 days. Works for other purchases as well beyond laptops.

Interesting. I didn't know that. At the very least, it would look indistinguishable from the outside.

No, no, and no.

I return my rmbp to exchange it. They don't even turn it on or check anything. All they did was check it whether the computer is actually in the box. That's all.
