[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 360155, member: 9169"] Here's a real-life scenario that I hope clears up any confusion and guessing. I have 2 GB of OWC memory in my MacBook. Last week, I started having a problem where the unit would not wake from sleep (a firmware fix has been issued for this), followed by the computer's making strange beeping noises. Then it went into a startup-chime loop (i.e., never making it past the startup chime-- repeatedly). I took the unit to the local Genius Bar. It turns out I had a bad logic board, which Apple replaced free of charge under AppleCare. They were told right up front that there was 2GB of another vendor's memory in the computer, something they clearly would have seen when they took the unit apart. This did not cause a warranty issue: they repaired the computer at no charge. In other words, [B]adding another vendor's memory did not void my AppleCare warranty.[/B] Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
