Serial

Did the logic board get replaced? AFAIK that changes the product SN. You may just have to call them and make sure they know about your new SN (they may check with whoever fixed the computer or make you fax the form to them or something).

 

I agree. Make sure the serial number on the bottom case of your computer and the one from About This Mac... match. Changing the logic board DOES change your serial number.

 

Changing the logic board should NOT change your serial number. When logic boards are replaced, they come blank, a new serial number is then flashed onto the board by the ASP.

They might have mistyped the serial when they were flashing the serial however, which in that case, you need to get the board replaced again. Flashing is a one time procedure, most ASP's do not have the method to erase the board.

 

If you have time, you can just take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to set the serial number on the new logic board, they obviously forgot to do that. Shouldn't take them more than a few minutes. It's not a big deal overall if they don't, but it's nice for those little features (and some of their diagnostics won't run without doing that, so it could cause them issues if you have more service done later).
