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.

In a way they have stolen it, they’ve stolen the value by not replacing it. It’s highly likely the stick is faulty and would have to be replaced under warranty. The faulty stick they returned is useless and they’re trying to stiff him by not giving him a working stick that he’s entitled to.
Sounds about right. Best buy fucking sucks and they fried our motherboard, gpu, and PSU. Told me it happened the PSU shorted. But wanted 180usd to take a look anymore after they used a bad EVGA PSU. Instead of replacing the PSU they told me contact EVGA. Who then told me to contact best buy evga doesn’t offer manufacturers warranty the retailer now does this as of few years back. They only refunded the PSU 750w gold 75usd. Gave us a complimentary mouse and keyboard. Lost the motherboard and a 6700xt reference edition which was new at the time.
