![]() ![]() I'm not really motivated enough to ring AppleCare about a 20 year old machine, I'm pretty sure they'll just shrug and say they don't know (you can totally do that ovver the phone). I feel less bad about moving the board to a better chassis if it's not original. If a board is swapped, the same serial number is burned in by whoever services them (AASP or ARS). My recollection tells me that serial numbers won't change even if a board is replaced as part of a repair or some other repair extension program.

From a practical perspective it wouldn't matter because iDesk (the AppleCare app advisors use) or GSX (Global Service Exchange primarily for AASP and even ARS and AC Tier 2 Advisors) would still be able correlate any serial number to any associated repair or replacement via those tools. Of course, it's possible the MLB was swapped out unofficially but if that were the case the serial number on the back of the machine wouldn't match the About this Mac info window in which case I would be inclined to think it was an OOW repair done by whoever owned it.
