You can receive genuine stuff or fake/salvaged/remarked trash regardless if logo is or isn't present on the pictures.. --- End quote --- You are missing the point - if they send you a fake and the pictures showed a genuine part, you can open a dispute and AliExpress will most likely refund you because you got sent something else than what was advertised. If they aren't showing a photo of a genuine part, then you have no recourse - you had to know that you are buying a cat in the bag. It is an enormous red flag if some seller does this. |

And just to confuse things, here's a seller who left the Altera logo on: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2035774602.html |
