Macbook pro part number??

I'm looking at replacing the lid panel on my Macbook Pro 15 mid 2009. According to thebookyard.com the correct lid panel for my machine is listed as part number A1286.
They don't currently have any in stock but I have found some on ebay with the same part number although these lid panels claim to be for a 2011 macbook and not a 2009 one.
My question is would one of these '2011' lid panels fit my 2009 macbook as the part number for the lid panel on the bookyard website and the one for sale on ebay are the same or does a part have to be date as well as part number specific for it to be compatible?
Thanks.

Try ifixit or PowerBookMedic - I'm sure that they can give you the correct part number (and maybe have one in stock that would be less expensive than that on eBay).

HT1349 should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

If your employer bought it, it is theirs and they have a right to request what they want (e.g., for inventory purposes). If you bought it, it is yours. You can then decide if it is in your interest to let them know the serial number. I don't know your work environment but if somebody from IT came by would it make sense they be able to uniquely identify it as belonging to you?

Unfortunately, that's not it either. On the bottom of my MBP from Mid 2010 it says "A1286". That's great, but that's not the unique model number. For instance, looking for a keyboard for it I found one that is compatible with:
(MC371LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
(MC372LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
(MC373LL/A, A1286, MacBookPro6,2) - Mid 2010
Each one of those is MBP6,2 from Mid 2010, model A1286, but what about those first sets of numbers? Is mine one of those three? Or did they make more than just those three and mine may be one of the ones not listed?
I can't seem to find any way to know for sure, short of ordering the thing and hoping that it fits. :-/
Those are "order numbers", in this case:
MC371LL/A = 2.4 GHz CPU
MC372LL/A = 2.53 GHz CPU
MC373LL/A = 2.66 GHz CPU
These are all the flavors there exists for a model A1286 with identifier "MacBookPro6,2".
Going back to the excellent earlier post of babowa I believe it works as follows:
The model number (A1286) which you can find on the bottom of your MBP doesn't say too much: it's used from late 2008 to mid 2012 MBP 15" models.
In addition you have model identifiers (MacBookPro6,2), which in your case nears it down to a mid-2010 model.
But you can also have different model numbers for a single model identifier and there comes in the EMC number Balboa mentions. I believe it's a unique comination between a model number and a model identifier. For example, the MacBookPro3,1 can be a 15" or a 17", which each a different model number (A1226 and A1229) so they each have a unique EMC number. I wouldn't know where to find the EMC number on a MBP, by the way.
One step down: within each model identifier you have several order numbers, the three you have listed above. Generally they distinguish different CPUs in standard configurations. However, if there is CTO/BTO option to upgrade a CPU it would not have its own order number. My BTO MBP 17" mid-2010 has an i7 2.66 GHz CPU but the order number is equal to the standard i5 2.53 GHz CPU.
Apart the very good website babowa provided a link to, you can download the free (donationware) application Mactracker from the App Store, which is a well maintained database of about every piece of hardware and every OS Apple ever released with a very friendly user interface. Click on "This Mac" and you got all the info I described above.

Macbook pro (model number a1226) no power

I have a Macbook Pro (model number A1226) - the computer has been working perfectly. However, I let the battery drain and since then, the laptop will not power up. I have tried everything:
Using two different power cords
Plugging the power cord(s) into different outlets - even in different rooms
Pressing CTRL + Command + Power
Pressing Option + Command + Power
Taking out the battery, unplugging the mag power cord, pressing the Power Button for 10 seconds... plugging back in mag power cord... trying to start it.
Nothing on all of the above. Someone please help. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the computer and it has not moved an inch since the power went out!
I appreciate it.
Stephanie.

There has been no storms here. So we're safe there.
Something new has happened though - the power indicator has now changed to amber and the battery pack that you can remove is now flashing green (there are 5 indicator lights on the battery and the first one is now flashing).
Is that a good sign?
That is a very good sign. It means the battery is charging, and I suspect at this point you should be able to boot the MBP (leave it plugged in until the amber turns green).

2009 macbook pro incorrect number of file hard links. repaired and still slow. I replaced the hard drive within the year and it's 1 tb not full. help!

I have a 2009 macbook pro and I keep it up to date. I replaced the hard drive with a new 1 tb hard drive within the last year. It is not even close to full. The other night I was doing a time machine backup and the spinning color wheel appeared. It would not go away and the only thing I could do was restart the computer. The Grey apple screen appeared and nothing else happens. I restarted in disk utility and verified the drive. It said "incorrect number of file hard links". I repaired it successfully and check the drive as well as the startup drive. All was ok. I restarted my computer and it took forever to come on. It is now one but I can not do anything. The desktop and all appropriate dock items are there but I can not do anything. What should I do?

It's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test.
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

I cannot find my MacBook Pro serial number anywhere!?

I just recently purchased my MacBook Pro from a seller locally on Craigslist. I couldn't find the serial number on the surface of the laptop (under the battery) or through the system:
I have been searching all over Apple's website for this, but I cannot find any information on it!
Please don't tell me it's "stolen" because every product I have registered goes through fine and I get no error. Additionally, the guy I bought it from said that he had a fresh installation of the new OSX Lion and it didn't give a serial number.
I'm new to the Apple Mac products, and when I saw my cousin's old MacBook I was able to find his serial number was engraved behind his battery.
Mine doesn't show anything engraved at all, besides what model #'s the laptop contains.
Further info:
15"
Model #: A1226

The 1st picture shows as such because I clicked it. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about:
I was stupid because I completely forgot when I met up with him that I texted him asking what the serial # was and he didn't reply.
Then when I met up with him, he even told me to go over the mac, test it out, and ensure myself that I was happy with it. As I looked for the serial number, I didn't see it, and that's when I asked him why it was missing.
He said the number erased because he had to do a "fresh installation" of the OSX Lion. I read in other articles that people have had to do this with the older MBP models (aka core 2 duo) and it has caused the serial number to erase from the specs.
As for the last picture I put, I just noticed that there was something there...then I thought to myself that's where the badge would be.
I've been looking all over in Google for my model and where the serial number should be, but can't seem to find it...
I guess I'll deal with it as is...
Only weird thing is, that if it were "stolen," then why have I been able to update the software from Apple without any issues?

Replacing Macbook Pro parts with Macbook parts...........???

I have a MacBook pro that has recently bit the dust and is out of warranty. I'm 99% positive it is a combination of the hard drive and the logic board failing. I have a new MacBook that I hardly ever use and I am wondering if I can replace the faulty parts in my MacBook pro with the parts from my working MacBook.
I know replacing the hard drive on my mbp with the hard drive
from my mb will work just fine... But here's my longshot question.. Can I replace the logic board in my mbp with the logic board from my mb? Are they interchangable?
If not, will my mb accept the ram from my mbp? I may just throw my 2 GB RAM from my mbp into my mb to tide me over until the new mbp comes out/I can afford it.
Thanks.

Well i'm not too sure about the logic board, but i do know that the ram in your macbook pro will work in your macbook.

Why is my macbook pro serial number showing as invalid

I have just bought a new 13" retina display Macbook Pro from an online seller. Trying to check it out, apple's website says the serial number is invalid. What the **** have I bought?!

You may have to check the online reseller directly and ask about this matter.
And note they have a different policy of returns and exchanges than Apple
itself. A retail Apple Store or the Apple online (company) store is different
than an authorized independent retailer who resells product. So you should
check with them about a return or replacement. They may also be able to
figure out why they sent you a product that cannot be officially verified.
Good luck in this matter...!

After Snow Leopard Install on Intel MacBook Pro, my number keys don't work

I installed Snow Leopard recently and have since been unable to use my number keys on my Intel based MacBook Pro. I waited for the 6.1 release, hoping it would fix the bug, but it did not. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, tried num-lock, but have yet to fix it. I am also unable to use the keys shift functions, like the @ symbol.
Any help would be great!

Macbook Pro - Serial Number question

I have a Macbook Pro (week 17) that I picked up the beginning of June. It does not have the glossy screen. I registered my MBP and my AppleCare. When I put my serial number into the field on the support site about how much longer my warranty will last, it says I have a "MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)." Is this an error or are all MBPs considered glossy after a certain date even if the screen is not glossy. Has anybody else noticed this?
Thanks

This seems to be very common. I've seen the same thing all along for my 15" with matte screen. The web site reported it as glossy when I registered the MBP, when it was at Apple for a repair, and when I enrolled my AppleCare Protection Plan. Several others have reported this as well.
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm not sure they can correct it until they correct whatever overall glitch is making it so common.

Can Apple remotely activate 'Find My Mac' if given a MacBook Pro serial number?

I have a registered MacBook Pro that was stolen on 9-11.
I live on an American AF Base in Okinawa, Japan and filed a police report.
I have my serial number and have 'Find My Mac' apps for iPad, iPhone and MacBook.
My Apple ID recognizes that I have the feature fo the iPad & iPod, but NOT the MacBook Pro.
How do I get them to REMOTELY push the app to my MacBook when this PUNK gets online?
****** in Oki...

You can sync data without enabling "Find My Mac":

Why has my macbook pro serial number changed after getting it repaired?

I just noticed that the serial number in the 'about this mac' information has a different serial number to what is on the back of the macbook pro, which is the same serial number on my apple care/phone . I had a lot of issues with my macbook pro it was sent to repair in july 2013 then in august 2013. Why has the serial number changed? I tried using my original serial number to use the online apple care service however it did not recgonice my serial number when I tried the new serial number it regconised it but said I did not have apple care but I do. I don't know what the apple team have done to my macbook as it requires to go in for repair again.

Was it repaired at Apple or an authorized service provider?
You need to contact the repair place/store and/or call Apple and make them aware of the problem - sooner rather than later. Make sure you give them the repair/case number so they can find the paperwork for it.
I had a logic board replaced and the tech also did not do anything - I called Apple and the tech came back to my house to take care of it. It's important because you want to make sure that your Applecare is being associated with the right serial number.

Macbook pro parts

I'm trying to track down a right fan assembly for a macbook pro(15 inch), and keep seem to find a part seller. Does anyone know of a good place, or does apple in fact sell their parts directly? Or do they lock you into their ridiculous repair fees?

Hi hubrismile,
try the same place that the Guide I linked you to earlier came from - http://www.ifixit.com/Products/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-1-83-GHz-Fans/74/63
(Edit - I see they are out of stock - what about http://www.welovemacs.com/9227194.html )
Cheers
