Hi Lads and Lasses, my cousin recently bought a MSI Bravo 15 laptop and wishes to have more RAM by installing another 8GB stick to make it a 16GB machine, however both of us are looking at the "Factory Seal" sticker and scratching our heads wondering if the laptop will be considered tampered if we tear the sticker off.

Any owners of a MSI laptop here?

You peel off sticker, MSI can reject your warranty if shit hits fan.

try peeling the sticker to see if you can re paste it without it looking out of place

if yes, then just do it
if no, then you can actually still do it if you want

if your laptop got seal means your ram is not upgrade-able,.. it's solder on,.. not plug in,..

Yolo or stay with warranty
If stay with warranty then use Virtual ram lor..

No issues with warranty on ram upgrade for my msi laptop.

But that was 10 years ago. GE620DX.

Even participated in their program to upgrade the screen to full HD

Dunno now though.

I don think upgrade RAM Void warranty, even you broke that seal
Many year ago i send my pc warranty, no problem at all, i broke seal because add RAM

Edit, is acer desktop, send to highpoint

Kecian, my office i5 11gen 8Gb lappy significantly slower than my i5 5 gen 16gb old junk during start up. Both also using SSD

Nowadays 16gb is the way to go.

Just google search, not sure apply on Malaysia or not

contact the manufacturer first before doing anything.
last time i ask acer whether i can upgrade ram myself and they said no problem as long no obvious physical impact on the notebook.
a year after i made rma claim and no problem claiming the warranty.

my dell laptop dont even have this warranty void sticker somemore.

This is why MSI is in my ban list.
Overpriced shit with poor cs.

Just download more ram…

other countries maybe break seal still can apply warranties depend on case

MSI = Missing System Information.

LOL, never think like this

According to msi website, the bravo 15 has 2 sodimm slots. So it is upgradable.
You can ask msi if it affects your warranty or ask them if THEY can upgrade your ram without affecting warranty but that would probably cost more.

Warranty terms depend on the country. Why don't you ask MSI forums or contact customer support at MSI yourself if you are really worried about the warranty status. You can email customer support, and if they reply stating that you don't void your warranty, you can use that as proof when you send in your laptop for warranty and MSI ask for proof.
If they reply that you void your warranty, theres your answer. In this case, up to you if you want to take the risk of voiding your warranty to upgrade your laptop.
Another option, bring your laptop and the components that you want to upgrade to (ram/ssd/whatever) to their service center. They will charge a service fee to upgrade but keep your warranty intact, it might be worth it.

Theres no point asking random ppl in /K. Imagine we say no problem, then later you send in for warranty to MSI and cite /K as proof that warranty still valid. Would they care? If I was their technician, I won't care what /K ppl say, company policy > /K.

If you're afraid of voiding the warranty, go to their service centre and request them to install it instead.

Must be double the price and take a month to do it.

Last time my friend got Acer Laptop.
Void Sticker on top of screw hole to remove cover for upgrade RAM.

This, my ex friend recommend this BS stuff.

no longer fren kah? my fren recommend me alt+f4 only

Be careful with msi they use same service center as acer and I think ZTE.

Also out of warranty repair is equivalent to chopping your arms and legs. I kena when my 6 month old gaming laptop is mobo fried frm water dmg.

LOLX.
This was my primary or secondary friend.
He move to other schools already that's why I called it ex

Sent it in to msi for the upgrade.

MSI got apple laptop?

Eh.... can lar if he has this model. 16GB x 2 some more.

Anyway about this warranty sticker thing some company will honor the warranty even if seal is broken. Just say you bought laptop that time shop upgrade during purchase. Usually manufacturer will honor the warranty. If not tribunal la what else?

Not necessarily , Acer nitro 5 or other models also does this but ram upgradeable.
