Missing iMac G3 logic board serial number

[JimMack]

Considering buying an iMac G3 slot loading 333MHz OS 9.2.2 & 10.3.9, but it doesn’t show Serial Number in the System Profiler. Understand this was common when replacing Logic Boards, if tech did not update the SN. What impact can be expected post-sale? Will it prevent me from loading programs, web browsers or iChat features? Thx

This is pretty normal even with original logic boards, I don't recall the details but I do seem to recall that older Macs were notorious for not retaining their serial numbers. Someone else certainly knows more.

Don't sweat it.
