=> It is therefore absolutely wrong to trust a MAC address or motherboard serial number is unique. But I do not recommend it if you have any guaranty yet else you might loose this guaranty by opening the Mac.

I did not see if mac os x displays the model number of the motherboard or any device. What I did not look: If you open you Mac(book) completely perhaps on motherboard is a number printed which says when and where the motherboard has been produced (as you can see in model number of an iOS device). That is why it is sadly wrong that in info under mac os x you can get the not falsified serial number. But I trust Apple they sent a fixed new motherboard to the SP or AASP. It is sad you can not be really sure the new motherboard does not have the bug of the early systems and perhaps the motherboard has been produced with this bug. Perhaps then no one can change the serial number again but I do not know this for sure.īut it seems the AASP is advised to change the serial number and not to set the old serial number. Then with this image anyone can set the serial number once. Then I found an image you can burn on CD/DVD (or anything else from what the macbook can boot). Therefore I searched if I could fix this problem myself because a different SP would cost perhaps. For letting to correct this problem by this SP about 1800km/1118miles away I would have to drive/fly this long way.
Unless you took a photo of the board that was installed or marked it before the repair, it's unlikely you can differentiate things from software.īasically, the evidence you can gather is mostly circumstantial unless you are in the forensics trade or work on machines as a trained repair technician that works on that model routinely.īecause of an repair with an old macbook pro (2007) the repair service forgot to set the serial number of the new motherboard.īecause of this I had several problems with iCloud. If the board was improved after it was made or someone checked the serial number on the board that was fitted in the factory initially, you could know that the one in there wasn't original. Usually a logic board has it's own internal serialization, but you need to open the hardware to see that or have knowledge of revisions on the boards. There should be time stamps when it started repair - possibly a list of parts used, probably some test results they ran, etc.

Since you paid for the repair, Apple should walk you though re-joining the Time Machine over the phone or via internet chat for free post repair.ĭid you have it serviced via mail in or at an authorized service provider or at a genius bar? The steps to get repair details can change a little - but you could start by calling AppleCare and asking them to read the technician notes that were left by the repair tech.
You could try dumping the hardware identity from the Time Machine backup directory: xattr -p /Volumes/yourBackupDrive/Backups.backupdb/yourMacName However, the Time Machine change makes me conclude you have a new board.

You can't easily tell from software that you have a new board unless the technician failed to properly deserialize the part that was "allegedly" put in.
