How can I identify macbook specs without serial nummer

Hello,


I have an old macbook that is running on recovery harddisk and I want to know it specs. but the serial number is scraped off from use.

How can i identify the specs. If it helps it uses a A1185 model battery and copyright is from 2005.


Thanks

OK, try this:


Boot into single user mode, to do that, you have to press and hold "Command-S" while booting.

Wait until you see something like this

:/ root #


Then type:

ioreg -d 2 -k IOKitBuildVersion


At the end you should see something like:

+-o MacBookPro1,1


Then type:

ioreg -d 2 -l -n MacBookPro1,1


Replace the 'MacBookPro1,1' with the String with the string of the first iron output.


enjoy
