Learning more, service, and support
You can nd more information about your MacBook Pro through Mac Help, System Report,
Apple Hardware Test, and online resources.
Mac Help. You can often nd answers to your questions, as well as instructions and
troubleshooting information, in Mac Help on your Mac. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, click
Help in the menu bar, and choose Mac Help.
System Report. To get information about your MacBook Pro, use System Report. 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 Report, choose Apple menu () > About
This Mac, then click System Report.
Apple Hardware Test. You can use Apple Hardware Test (AHT) to help determine if there’s a
problem with one of the computer’s components, such as the memory or processor.
To use Apple Hardware Test, disconnect all external devices except the power adapter. Restart
your MacBook Pro and hold down the D key as it starts up. When the AHT chooser screen
appears, select the language for your location. Press the Return key or click the right arrow
button. When the AHT main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow the onscreen
instructions. If AHT detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code
before pursuing support options. If AHT doesn’t detect a hardware failure, the problem might be
software related.
