We created the serial number decoder that can help consumers who are interested in repairing your device and need parts from a specific model. Our MacBook pro serial number lookup, iMac serial number lookup, iPad serial number lookup, and iPhone serial number lookup can help you research and learn before buying a new device.
Also, had you kept the original boxes the serial number information is clearly marked on those as well. Keeping these boxes helps to sell the machines too, they give the impression the owner cares for their equipment.
Search for any Mac model. You can search by name and date, as well as any of various identifiers such as: serial number (Macs made before 2021), part number, model identifier, model number and EMC number.
You can find your Mac's serial number in Apple System Profiler: Select the Apple Menu > About This Mac, then (depending on the version of OSX you are running) click the System Report button or the More Info button. This brings up System Profiler, and on the Hardware Overview that is displayed by default you should see your serial number, and be able to copy/paste it. The procedure does vary slightly between different versions of OSX.
Please input one of these identifiers below. Some of these can be found written on your Mac, and others can be found by selecting the Apple Menu in the top left, of your Mac's screen, and choosing "About This Mac". For more info about locating your serial number please see here.
Please note that for Mac made from 2021, you cannot search by serial number and will need to use a different identifier - the serial number scheme used by these later Macs does not contain information about which model it is from.
Yes the serial number is stored on the logic board if you want to keep serial number tied programs as much as I hate to say this as your not fixing it yourself take it to a third party repair store they might be able to repair the water damage and if they can't ask them about switching the chip that stores the serial number on it
Information Removed at Request of Apple LegalWith the release of refreshed MacBook Pro models earlier this week, Apple has apparently tweaked the format it uses for serial numbers on its devices, moving from an 11-character serial number to a 12-character sequence. For the time being, the change appears to be limited to the 17" MacBook Pro models, and it is unclear why the 13" and 15" models have not seen the same switch.
Apple's 11-character serial number system has utilized an alphanumeric format of PPYWWSSSCCC, comprising two digits "PP" denoting a plant code where the product was produced, a single digit "Y" denoting the year of manufacturing, two digits "WW" signifying the week of the year in which the machine was produced, a three-digit unique identifier "SSS" to distinguish between machines that would otherwise have the same serial numbers, and a final three digits "CCC" specifying the model.
The new 12-digit serial number format makes a few minor tweaks to the format, which we have been able to decipher. The increase in length for the new format, which takes on the sequence PPPYWSSSCCCC, can be attributed to changes to the length of the "P", "W", and "C" portions of the code.
Under the previous format, the "Y" component of the serial number was simply the last digit of the year of manufacture, meaning that a machine produced this year would carry a "0" in that position. The number in that position would obviously recycle every ten years, but it should be relatively clear from Apple's product release history whether a given machine was produced in 2000 or 2010.
With the reduction of the "W" component of the serial number to a single alphanumeric digit, Apple has had to roll out a new system for identifying the week in which a given machine was produced. Previously, the two-digit code simply reflected the week of the year, beginning with "01" and moving on through "52" or "53".
The three-character alphanumeric "S" code for unique product identification remains the same under the new system, while the alphanumeric "C" code for identifying model numbers has been expanded from three characters to four.
The ability to decipher Apple's serial number code to ascertain when a given machine was produced has been used by many customers wishing to learn more about the age of their machines, particularly when it comes to production issues. Understanding whether production date makes a difference in whether machines do or do not suffer from a given issue can help pinpoint when fixes might have been deployed and either alert or reassure customers attempting to determine whether their machines might be affected.
The single, all-encompassing identifier for any MacBook is the Serial Number. All Apple products come with a unique serial number. Given a valid serial number, one could potentially pull out complete specs of the device. There are multiple online portals available, most comprehensive being: -mac-lookup/
1. First, find the serial number of your macbook. (If your macbook can power on, you can go to the apple icon from the desktop and choose "about this mac". If the macbook can not power on, look for the serial number etched on the bottom cover of the macbook.)
3. Third, go to and enter the macbook model and year of your macbook. When your macbook model is found, click it to see the list of all tech specs. Then look for the "Battery and Power" section and you will find the exact power adapter used for this exact macbook model. (See screenshot below)
The Apple Serial Number Search tool developed by the cryptanalysts here at Beetstech can help you to uncover a whole lot more info about your Apple device. This tool not only lets you look up Apple devices by serial number, but it returns all compatible parts, and even allows searching by other criteria like EMC number, model identifier, and model number. Additionally, this tool lets you find Apple parts by searching the Apple Part Number, a part number printed on the component, or any combination of keywords you can think of.
Each manufacturing location is represented at the start of the serial number by a different alphanumeric code. Apple manufactures their devices in a variety of locations, and unfortunately not not all location codes are known, but the following is a mostly complete list of codes and their corresponding factories:
The year and week of manufacture are also represented by an alphanumeric code which is, fortunately, easier to decipher. The fourth character of the serial number represents both the year the device was manufactured in, and whether the device was manufactured in the first or second half of the year. The following table shows how to interpret the fourth character:
Decoding the serial numbers of Apple products can be useful for a number of reasons. If you are interested in repairing your device yourself, determining which factory the device was manufactured in, or the date of manufacture, can help you to determine which replacement parts must be ordered to fix the device. Additionally, understanding the serial number structure can help you to troubleshoot issues with your device, as known issues can arise on products manufactured in certain factories or on certain dates.
Apple also maintains a table of MacBook Pro models, listing their model identifier, model number and possible configurations. The Model Identifier is listed in Apple > System Report, while the Model Number can be found on the bottom of older MacBooks, or on the original box and receipt.
Supposedly, once a certified apple technician burns a serial number into your logic board, it is impossible to remove unless you have specialized software that contacts apples servers with a registered signature and encryption key, and waits for apples servers to send authorization to write or remove the serial number from the logic board. Assuming that apples technology is impenetrable, then you would have to assume that someone stole apples special software and one of their keys, and used it on my logic board remotely to deserialize my mlb.
I found a website with some software called BlankBoard Serialzer at -blank-board-serializer?ns=1Could anyone tell me if this sofware is safe to use and if I should use it to re-burn my serial number into my mac?
You have already discovered that some Apple services require a valid serial number. iMessage and various DRM are tied to your serial number and UUID as well as Apple ID. As an aside, loading a valid serial number is a tricky and important step in getting a Hackintosh to run iMessage.
THE SOLUTION:I took my mac to the Apple store, and showed them the missing serial number. The Apple Technician connected my mac to Apples servers and reflashed my logic board with the correct serial number right in front of my eyes all for the price of $0.00 without apple care or a warranty for my mac. So, the Apple Stores do have the proper software, means, and ability to reflash your serial number into your MBL if this issue happens to you.
THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE APPLE STORE:After I had the Apple store reflash my macbook pro with the original serial number, I encountered a new problem, that may not have occured if I took care of this issue BEFORE REFLASHING THE SERIAL NUMBER AT THE APPLE STORE. 2ff7e9595c
