You used to be able to see the hours of use on Mac Os 7 - 9 using a program called Techtool Pro.. im not sure if you can still do that.

any other ways ? serial number searches etc ?

serial number should indicate which week it was produced and rev.

Well just send it back until you get one that works then.
