If there is a chip in there, you will get a memory check sum error. You have to break a sticker to install the chip, so the dealer can tell regardless if a chip has been in there or not..... unless you swap computers with one that has an unbroken sticker.

RiddlerGT,

There is no sticker on your computer. To install the chip you must remove the plastic cover to the connector and scrape the silicone off of the conector. A dealer could always look at the connector to see if the silicone has been removed.

I'm sure they sell the silicon somewhere, but I doubt you could make it look like it did originally.
