Learning More, Service, and Support

Your MacBook Pro does not have any user-serviceable parts, except the hard drive and
the memory. If you need service, contact Apple or take your MacBook Pro to an Apple
Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about the MacBook Pro
through online resources, onscreen help, System Information, or Apple Hardware Test.

Online Resources
For online service and support information, go to www.apple.com/support. Choose
your country from the pop-up menu. You can search the AppleCare Knowledge Base,
check for software updates, or get help from Apple’s discussion forums. The latest
product-specific information can be found at www.apple.com/support/macbookpro.

Onscreen Help
You can look for answers to your questions, as well as instructions and troubleshooting
information, in Help Center. Choose Help > Help Center.

System Information
To get information about your MacBook Pro, use System Information. It shows you
what hardware and software is installed, the serial number and operating system
version, how much memory is installed, and more. To open System Information, choose
Apple () > About This Mac from the menu bar and then click More Info.
