Best Buy Removed Half The RAM From A Gaming Laptop Because It Said The Laptop Only Supports 32GB
A customer sent a Lenovo Legion 5 in for warranty service with 64GB of RAM.
The Best Buy repair report confirmed the laptop had two 32GB RAM sticks, but the technician said the laptop “only accepts 32GB RAM maximum.”
The removed RAM was sent back to the customer with the laptop.

Sorta related but recently I had a DDR4 3600 16Gb stick die on me and G.Skill honored their lifetime warranty with a 2 week turnaround time which was awesome because I originally bought the kit for $60 and it was now $230.
Pretty much a customer for life now lol.
I RMA’d an Ryzen 5950x a week or so ago. It was a thankfully smooth process. Those things are like $490ish right now, and the window for RMAing would have closed by October.
The old CPU had problems with transient power spikes causing the machine to reboot, only being stable when PBO was turned off. I am glad to have gotten the RMA, the next owner of my Crosshair VIII tower should have a CPU that works fine.
