Modded Continuity Activation Tool (BTLE cards) with El Capitan is working

So, I took my machine to the Genius Bar for an unrelated issue. They depot'd my machine. When I got it back, they had stripped the CAX card, and replaced it with a new stock one because they said the old one stopped working. It worked fine when I sent it in, with BT40LE running and all Handoff / Continuity features working.
Oh well. I've lived without it (and without the apparent stress you guys are going through). Guess I'll get it back when I upgrade to my next machine in 10 years.

I would have demanded the return of the part. Especially if you paid separately for it.
 
same thing happened to me the first time, didnt even think about it and when I got it back, gone. They said it was not 'officially supported' and they replace anything like that to make sure the system is working. same thing happened with my 3rd party ram on my wifes laptop, 16gb gone. oh well only a few bucks, better than few thousand for a new machine lol

they took away the RAM? isnt that supposed to be user replaceable? I went in with the Data doubler (took out the optical drive and replaced it with SSD) and upgraded RAM and they said it was OK. So my mac was really a hack job and they didnt complain.
 
yeah but we were complaining about it no booting or something, not sure. but it was under the $300 'well fix anything we find wrong' and replaced her MoBo, video card, keyboard, ram, and screen(?) i think. It was like almost a whole new machine for $300. I was actually more pissed when they took my card as I found one for $25 way back when this first came out and they were going for like $100 a few months later when this 'took off' on ebay and everyone with a CAX card jacked their prices. my video card died one night and I brought it in, and took out my SSD in my CD bay, the other HDD I had, my ram, everything, except that damn card.
