[QUOTE="Lightcraftsman, post: 1418842, member: 253972"] I don't know who at Apple told you this, but they are wrong. I used to work tech support and executive relations at Apple so I am familiar with consumer protection laws. An exception would be if the RAM is faulty and overheats the logic board: that is not a factory defect and would not be covered. Of course, as mentioned above, if you break something while fiddling with the insides of your computer you are on your own. However, adding RAM and changing the hard drive is simple in the non-Retina MBPs so you would have to be pretty clumsy to break anything. [url=http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/mac-english.html]Warranty - English[/url] If you are still worried after reading the warranty ask Apple's legal department: [url=http://www.apple.com/legal/contact/]Apple - Legal - Contact[/url] Laws vary from state to state, but generally replacing the RAM and/or HD will not void your warranty under consumer protection laws.
