This is downvoted, but actually a legitimate question. Often, counterfeits do work, but just don't match the specifications with respect to voltage rating, durability, etc.
- moftz 9y agoYes, a totally non-working fake isn't the most common thing to occur. Unless they got the counterfeits for free, the vendor is losing money on replacing the fakes with real ones. They are assuming everyone will either never use the chip or just assume they fried the chip and buy another. Selling rejects from the fab or clones as legit is much easier to get away with.
