Hello everyone, today we are going to learn how to identify the production year of Apple laptop

2

00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,733

First of all, why identify the year of laptop production

3

00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:22,000

Because Apple's laptops have a habit of producing the same model for two to three years

4

00:00:25,833 --> 00:00:30,900

Laptops made in different years have different configurations, different edition numbers,

5

00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,400

and many accessories are different

6

00:00:44,833 --> 00:00:49,000

During the maintenance, we need to purchase materials according to

7

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,633

the production year of the laptop when replacing parts

8

00:01:00,033 --> 00:01:06,333

For example, the A1534 is available in 2015 and 2016 models

9

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,200

Its Type-C wiring is relatively easy to break

10

00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,900

When we buy this wiring,

11

00:01:16,033 --> 00:01:18,766

we should buy it according to the corresponding year

12

00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,966

For example, for the laptop of 2015 model,

13

00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:28,700

we need to buy the cable of 2015 model,

14

00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:32,500

which is different from the cable of 2016 model

15

00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,133

What's the difference?

16

00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,300

It's this Type-C plug

17

00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,833

The plug of the 2015 model is separated from the wire row,

18

00:01:44,533 --> 00:01:48,900

while the plug of the 2016 model is integrated with the wire row

19

00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,000

These two types of wiring are not interchangeable

20

00:01:53,566 --> 00:01:56,333

When we repair this machine and replace the wiring,

21

00:01:56,766 --> 00:02:01,533

we will purchase the corresponding wiring according to the production year of the laptop

22

00:02:02,933 --> 00:02:06,566

That's why it's important to identify the year of production

23

00:02:11,366 --> 00:02:14,366

The production year is identified as follows:

24

00:02:14,766 --> 00:02:19,333

The first thing we need to do is find the serial number on the D-shell of the laptop

25

00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,000

Go to the Apple website, which has a dialog box

26

00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,666

In this dialog box, you will be asked to enter the serial number

27

00:02:34,366 --> 00:02:37,300

We enter the serial number of the laptop in the box,

28

00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,966

then enter the verification code, click continue to see the query results

29

00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:50,533

For example, after we check the serial number,

30

00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,233

the result shows that it is a 2015 model

31

00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:57,366

When we are repairing this laptop,

32

00:02:57,766 --> 00:03:02,133

we need to buy the 2015 model of wiring instead of the 2016 model

33

00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:12,833

We can't tell whether the machine is 2015 or 2016 model just from the model of the shell

34

00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,533

We can only know by querying the serial number

35

00:03:24,066 --> 00:03:28,366

Okay, here's how to identify the year that an Apple laptop was made
