Apple device check before starting work - locks, warranty, parts.|



Pre-Repair Check

Five things to know before picking up the screwdriver

Find My - don't reset locked devices

If Find My is enabled, the device will require Apple ID password after reset. The client may not know the password or may not be the real owner. Check Quick Checks before starting any work. Takes seconds, saves hours.

Warranty - don't open warranty devices

Device under Apple warranty - send the client to an authorized service. Opening the case voids coverage. The client will come back with a complaint. Check Pre-Repair Check on intake.

Repair History - what's been replaced

GSX report shows what parts were installed in previous repairs - with part numbers. Shows if screen, battery, or motherboard was replaced. Helps understand the current issue and order correct parts. Details - GSX.

MDM - corporate device

A device with MDM is managed by an organization. After reset, it returns to managed mode. You can repair it, but warn the client and check if the repair is approved by their IT department.

Blacklist - don't work on stolen devices

If the device is reported as lost or stolen in databases, don't take the job. It's a legal risk for you. Blacklist check shows status in seconds.

GSX for Technicians

How Apple GSX data helps with repairs

Part numbers from previous repairs. The GSX report contains part numbers from past Apple service visits. Use them to order the exact same part from your supplier. No guessing which screen or flex cable fits.

Case ID - Apple's diagnosis. Every Apple service visit creates a case with a problem description. If the client visited an authorized service before, you'll see what they found. Saves diagnostic time.

Previous repair details. Which components were replaced, when, and why. If the screen was replaced six months ago and display issues are back, the problem may be deeper - the connector or flex cable.

CTO configuration. Exact device specs: storage, processor, variant. For CTO models (custom-built), the standard serial number doesn't give full info. GSX shows what's inside.


Pricing for Technicians

From occasional checks to daily device work

Standard account - for technicians who check devices occasionally. Buy credits as needed. Free IMEI check available without registration.

Premium - for daily repairers. Lower prices on all checks, more credits for the same money. With a steady client flow, it pays for itself quickly.

Ultimate - for high-volume technicians. Wholesale prices, priority support, API access. If you check dozens of devices daily, this is your plan.


Frequently Asked Questions

What to check before starting repair?

Minimum: Find My and warranty. Find My shows if the device is locked. Warranty shows if you should take the job at all. Ideally, a GSX report for the full picture: repair history, replacements, configuration. For suspicious devices, add Blacklist and MDM.

Why do I need GSX if I already know what to replace?

GSX shows part numbers from past repairs. Use them to order the exact part, not guess by model. Also shows if the component was replaced before - if the screen was changed six months ago and it's broken again, the problem may be deeper.

Can I check for free?

Yes. Basic IMEI/serial number check is free - model, color, manufacture date. Available at >> Check Device without registration. Extended checks (GSX, Find My, Blacklist) require credits.

Which plan for a solo technician?

Depends on volume. Few checks per week - standard account. Daily repairs - Premium with lower prices. High volume - Ultimate with wholesale pricing. Details on the >> View Pricing.
