Find Kindle Serial Number For Mac

Find the Device Info option and tap it. The model number should appear along with things like the MAC Address and other info.

My much-beloved Kindle is broken. I need the serial number to have it repaired. However, I never registered it, so I can't see the device in my account. The packaging has long since been discarded. How screwed am I?

The Kindle was a gift from my now-deceased father, so a) it has sentimental value and b) there is no way to check his purchase history to verify the device information.
Please, please hope me.

I don't have a kindle but it's very common for the serial number for electronics to be on the device somewhere. A common spot with phones, for example, is under the battery, if the battery is removable. On old kindles it was under the rear cover. If you know about when the device was made, or the model number, you can possibly google how to find it.

How is it broken? Does it turn on at all? Is the screen broken?
Do you know which model or what type of Kindle it is? Does it have a black-and-white e-ink screen, or a color LCD screen?
If it turns on and you can read and tap things on the screen, you can find the serial number under 'Device Info' in the settings screens.
If it turns on but the screen is broken, this tool might be able to display the serial number, depending on what type of Kindle you have.

It is a Kindle Paperwhite.
It turns on but the screen displays 'Your Kindle needs repair' and directs me to contact Amazon. Amazon customer service has not been able to help without a serial number.

What you need is the Kindle Diagnostic Tool

On preview, this is the same tool mbrubeck links to.

The Kindle Diagnostic Tool would do what I need, but it appears not to work for devices released after 2011.

Are you looking under Content and Devices? (Not Apps and Devices) My paperwhite serial number is listed there.

'Content and Devices' where?
(Sorry for threadsitting and for generally being dense!)

Serial
Go to Your Content and Devices, click on the 'Your Devices' tab, then click the button in the 'Actions' column next to your Kindle, if it appears in the list of devices.

Unfortunately, the Kindle is not registered, so it does not appear on the list of devices.

This doesn't quite answer your question, but you might be able to fix it yourself (if you haven't tried this already). This answer on StackExchange suggests a method of getting the Kindle to do a factory reset on itself. Essentially, you plug your Kindle into your computer, restart the Kindle, put a file named DO_FACTORY_RESTORE on it, and restart the Kindle again to get it to do a factory reset. It's a little more involved than that, but that's the gist of it.

Helpfully, the serial number a Kindle announces to the host computer when you plug it in over usb appears to be the same as the Serial number reported in the 'Device Info' section of the Kindle Settings screen.
If I plug my Paperwhite into my laptop & issue a lsusb -v command as root, then the serial number of my Kindle is reported (amongst lots of other data): (I’ve starred most of it out for obvious reasons.)
If you plug your Kindle into a Windows laptop you’ll probably find the same data somewhere deep inside the devices control panel. Or else use USBDeView from NirSoft. You’ll know you’ve got the right one when you see a 16 character serial number which starts B0 or 90 if the list on MobileRead is complete.

NB. Failed to point out that the above command only works because my laptop is running Linux. You’ll have to go spelunking in the device manager (under windows) or the system profiler (under OSX) if you’re not me :)

That feeling when you answer someone’s heartfelt plea for help & then they never respond :)
Have you tried my solution e,l,f? Did it work?

Sorry for my lack of response!
retypepassword's solution worked. Thank you all!
