Serial Number Mid 2010 White Mac

Hi All,


Is there any way to find the serial number if it won't boot up? I no longer have the original packaging and I can't seem to find purchase history via the Apple website.


Thank You!

While a serial number is almost unnecessary given other useful means to identify

a 'build model year' Mac, you might be able to find sales order, and serial numbers

outside the portable Mac's case; in back or nearer the hinge area.

Part Numbers: MC516xx/A

Model Number A1342

EMC 2395

Newest compatible operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Tech Specs: MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)


Because the poly white-translucent color hides tiny detail very well, these go almost

unnoticed. Also these may be obscured by normal wear or abrasion over time.


"Find the serial number printed on the underside of your Mac, near

the regulatory markings. It’s also on the original packaging, next to

a barcode label." ~ identify your macbook


Site-based data sources can be helpful; see Everymac's. MacTracker has free app

to help identify most/all things Apple; use site URL mactracker.ca to download.

Many identify by serial number sites ~ also show many other identifiers, too.


If the device or Mac was ever registered to be accessed by Apple ID, check here:

"Sign in to appleid.apple.com, then look for your Mac in the Devices section. If you

see your Mac there, click its name to see the model name and serial number."


While these are older and some service parts (battery, magsafe, RAM, etc)

of quality can be harder to locate, Examples of verified replacement parts

and accessories, etc, may be found at OWC site online.
