15 months of warranty for this laptop already ascertained.
Dilemma of voiding the warranty for a RAM upgrade....

Forget it, just get the ram upgraded at service centre by paying service charge of around 500-600.

But suppose the service center guys deliberately damages a component while attaching RAM,then what shall I do?
Do I need to go to the service center,time to time?

That is why they ask you to sign/confirm the product condition before taking it & also before giving it to you after repair. You should just look for properly reattached warranty stickers(take pics/record video if in doubt before giving laptop & before taking laptop after repair) & any physical scratch/damage etc on the outside body of laptop. After that you should turn on the laptop & use it for 5-10 min with & without battery to see everything is working fine(keep some benchmarking tools to run in pen drive/laptop).

Will this be treated as Tampered?

You mean any self servicing of laptop for upgrades, yes.

Then what to do,Friend?
If the corner of the label is torn a little,it means the warranty is void?

Factory Seal

No. It will void only if the there is a big fat hole in it and signifies that you put your screw driver thru the sticker and unscrewed the screw. this much damage is acceptable.

You haven't seen the excuses given by some service centres then, if the label is slightly torn even at the corner then it will be taking a chance with warranty. If you are lucky service centre will not say anything but if not then expect a warranty void reply.

@kg11sgbg as you say "Your choice your decision".

Well yes, but that time he has to take it further up and maybe even consumer court

@whitestar_999 , @RumbaMon19 , @thetechfreak and others, now I am a bit skeptical about the no. of RAM slots in this MSI Modern 14 B10MW-220IN laptop which i had purchased.
Some say there is only a single slot. Some say,there is another free RAM slot for upgrades.

As according to CPU-Z,inside the tool at SPD column,it shows there are 2 slots for RAM. Only one is occupied.

What to do Friends? @whitestar_999 ???

Didn't the service centre guy clarified it, I mean if he asked you to get samsung/hynix ram to increase capacity then shouldn't it mean there is an extra slot.

If CPUZ shows 2 slots, then there are 2 slots (1 might be soldered though). Check your laptop's manual that should be available somewhere in MSI's website, a service manual. If not, find in MSI US website.

This is what I did:- Search for disassembly video of my laptop. I did this because not only it helped me know the number of slots but also if there is any VOID warranty stickers inside to be taken care of.

Thinking about violating the warranty and attach 8GB DDR4 RAM module by myself.

Whatever happens will be seen later on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dissel]

^^^Good Idea....Given the situation - If you catch the thing and if it wins over you then you will be paying much more than the Laptop warranty.

Now a confusion!!!
Someone said that this Laptop (MSI Modern 14 B10MW-220IN) has two RAM slots and some say it has only one RAM slot.

What to do?
Without knowing if I break the Factory seal and see it has having only a single ram slot,then both sides are gone!!!

This page says it is a single slot but removable.

Agreed, but CPU-Z shows 2 RAM slots in SPD column of the tool.

And what is the use of buying an A-DATA 8GB DDR4 RAM? To replace the Factory set SAMSUNG 8GB DDR4 RAM?
Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPD clearly shows Slot #1 and Slot #2 in CPU-Z
