Tools

These are some common tools used to work on this device. You might not need every tool for every procedure.

Identification

Identifying exactly which Mac you own can sometimes be a challenge. Variations of MacBooks, MacBook Pros, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, or Mac Minis have the tendency to look similar but may have different internal hardware. If you're unsure of exactly which model and revision you own, take advantage of the Mac identification page.

If your Mac is a laptop you can identify the type by the writing below the screen and you can find the model located on the bottom of the device. You will need to look around the device to find the model number on a Mac desktop.

Additional Information

The most often replaced Mac parts include batteries for laptops and SSDs/hard drives for desktops.
