Common questions

Will this RAM work in my laptop?01
Check the exact OEM MPN against your laptop’s compatibility list, or message us with your model. DDR4 SO-DIMM is cross-compatible across most 2016–2023 business laptops. Faster DDR4 (3200 MHz) will downclock to your board’s max speed — that’s normal, not a defect.
What does “OEM pull” mean?02
The part was originally installed by the laptop manufacturer — Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, etc. — and pulled from a working system. Not an aftermarket module, not a remarked stick. OEM label intact, MPN photographed and listed.
What if it doesn’t work?03
30-day returns accepted, no restocking fee. If a RAM stick passes MemTest86 and still doesn’t work in your system, message us before filing a return — compatibility issues are usually solvable.
Do you sell in bulk or to repair shops?04
Yes. Repair shops and refurbishers looking for consistent volume on specific SKUs can message us at joe@upgraded.parts. We can reserve matched batches and provide consistent spec/brand for repeat orders.
Where do you source the hardware?05
Business-grade corporate surplus — Dell Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad T-series, HP EliteBook, 2016–2022 vintage. ITAD companies and vetted lots. Consumer laptops, Chromebooks, and MacBooks excluded.
