How can I get serial number if my computer isn’t working?

The MacBook Pro I bought in February 2020 now only shows vertical pink lines on the display. I’d like to get online support from Apple, but they demand a serial number before they will open a chat or phone call conversation.


I tried various reboots I’ve seen online, but the pink lines remain the only thing this laptop wants to do.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

It is on the bottom panel of a notebook if you turn it over.

If you have email receipts from your purchase from Apple, it can be found there...
