I have a dead macbook that I'd like to fix. I can't find a model # on it? It is white, says macbook near the screen. It has a rubbery bottom. It says rated 16.5v 3.65a IC 4324a-brcm1047 and the year 2009. The battery is not user removable. I don't see anything that looks like a model #. Any ideas how to find the specific model #?
Macbook model number?

Thank you for the links. I'd already been to both of those pages. There is no serial number printed on the outside of the laptop. The laptop isn't functional so I can't look it up on the screen.
Info is usually on the bottom. I checked my Macbook Pro from 2009 and the serial / model # is there. http://www.ehow.com/how_6864468_model-number-macbook.html.
If you get the serial #, you can figure out the model #.

I found it. It is nearly completely worn away but I believe it says A1342. Thank you to everyone who chimed in.
If you can get your hands on a cheap mini displayport adapter you might find that it is just the display that is problematic.
This particular model has a problem with the backlight capacitors failing. In this case, the machine is fine but the display is not usable.

Thanks for the advice. I have a fair amount of experience working on windows based machines, but almost none on apple gear. I just ordered the display adapter. Found one on ebay for $5. For that price it is worth just having one in my bag of tricks.
