Find your serial number, IMEI/MEID, or ICCID in Settings

1. Go to Settings > General and tap About.
2. Look for the serial number. You might need to scroll down to find the IMEI/MEID, and ICCID.
3. To paste this information into Apple registration or support forms, touch and hold the number to copy.

Find your serial number or IMEI before setting up your device

Let’s Make a Deal

Getting a Computer Ready for the Counter

A computer is valued as a set, not just as a chassis. Two identical 16-inch MacBook Pro units can land on different numbers because one arrived with its charger, its carton and the original NVMe drive, and the other arrived as a bare laptop at four percent battery. Gather the pieces before you drive over.


Run through this before you leave the house:

  • Original cartons still matter. The MacBook box with the part number label, the Dell OptiPlex sleeve, the graphics card box with its anti-static bag - bring them flat-packed if you kept them, because a complete boxed unit moves on faster.
  • Bring the brick that shipped with the machine rather than a generic one: 96W or 140W USB-C for the larger MacBook Pro, the MagSafe 3 cable with it, a Dell 130W barrel tip, a Lenovo slim tip, or the desktop kettle lead.
  • Paperwork settles questions quickly: the original invoice, AppleCare or warranty registration, and proof the machine was released from a company MDM or asset list if it was ever a work unit. Enrollment left in place blocks setup no matter how clean the hardware looks.
  • If you upgraded anything, bring what came out. The stock 8GB SODIMM, the 512GB NVMe drive you replaced with a 2TB, the boxed cooler, the card a prebuilt originally shipped with - original parts are counted with the machine.
  • Small pieces disappear first: the 12VHPWR or 8-pin PCIe adapter that came with a graphics card, the desktop side panel screws, the all-in-one stand and VESA plate, and the keyboard and mouse that were paired to it.

None of this takes long. A laptop, its brick, the carton if you still have it and the parts you swapped out fit into one bag, and everything in that bag is looked at in front of you before a figure is quoted.

The First Twelve Minutes at the Counter

Text or WhatsApp photos first if you want a preliminary number, but the real evaluation happens with the machine open on the counter. It runs in the same order every time, and knowing the order tells you what to have ready.

  • Minutes 1-3 - the serial or service tag is read off the bottom case, the Dell tag sticker or the Lenovo machine type label and logged against the configuration you quoted.
  • Minutes 3-8 - it boots, and CPU, RAM, GPU and storage are checked against that label, plus battery cycle count and a white and a black frame across the display.
  • Minutes 8-12 - keyboard, trackpad, ports and fans under load; Activation Lock, Find My and BIOS or BitLocker status confirmed.
  • Then the offer - explained against what the technician actually found, not against a generic model average.

Accept it and you are paid on the spot.

Preparation Mistakes That Cost Sellers Money

Almost every deduction traces back to something fixable at home in ten minutes. These five come up week after week.

  • Dead battery on arrival - a laptop that cannot stay awake through testing cannot be graded on screen, keyboard or thermals. Charge it the night before.
  • Locks left in place - Find My, a signed-in Microsoft account, a BIOS supervisor password or an unreleased MDM enrollment all stop the machine at setup.
  • Guessed specs - i7, 16 gigs and probably a 512 is not a configuration. Read the model, generation and storage from About This Mac or Settings, System, About.
  • Cleaning too hard - alcohol on an oleophobic screen coating leaves haze that a dry microfiber cloth would never have caused.
  • Dust in a desktop - a clogged fan stack throttles during load testing and hides the real thermal behavior of the card and CPU.

None of them change the hardware. They change what can be verified while you wait.
