need help finding a video about a parts scam

so I vaguely remember watching a video where they mentioned a parts scam that manufacturers and customers fall victim too

I'm only remembering off the top of my head but it went something like this

scammer gets into a package of new laptops/computers and replaces some parts with lower quality parts. then it eventually makes it to the customer and the reason it works so well is that the lower quality part functions only enough to pass internal testing and not customer use. then when the customer sends it in they replace a different parts until 6 months to a year later its revealed which part and that it was faulty.

for example, scammer replaces ssd and it causes crashing so the customer and company think its battery related. so they replace battery, then motherboard, then ssd control board, and eventually its revealed that the fake part was the ssd.

iirc this was so successful because it takes so long for it to be found that the scammer is now long gone.

​

anyways i ask because i had that exact thing happen too me. the ssd was 118 gb (supposed to be 512) and wasn't big enough too work with the laptop but big enough too pass internal testing. it would run for maybe 10 minutes if that before shutting down. usually i check this sort of thing but it was my wife's laptop so i didn't haha. but yeah like it didn't hit me until a month or two after i saw that the ssd was wrong that i think i heard about something similar on ltt (how i remembered how the scam works) and i want to re-watch/find the video that they mention it in. i could be wrong and they didn't but i swear i remember it. tho i don't think it was the main topic/title of the video so i cant seem to find it.
