I just bought a PB 5300cs less than 24 hours ago :-) So much to
check out yet, busily downloading the TIL from Apple. I asked the
seller about the Repair Program but he knew nothing about it. He's at
least the third person to have this machine so that's no surprise.
According to the Apple site, I should have been able to find the
serial number (and possible verification that the Powerbook had
undergone the repair) on the underside of the computer.
Unfortunately, if the serial number was a sticker, it's long gone -
not even any stickiness left where I would assume that a sticker
might have gone. I've gone into the System Pofiler but don't see
anything there either.
Any other thoughts on how I might find a serial number so I can
verify if the computer qualifies or if it's already been done? I've
just done the doubleclick on the Trackpad - nada, so if that's not
been replaced with a new and improved version, it's a pretty good
indication that the computer has NOT been through the REA?
Thanks.
