HP Pavilions ship with a serial number used to identify each unit. Unlike the product name and number, which apply to a specific group of units, the serial number is unique to each computer. Business owners who want to know more about their Pavilion's warranty status or need to track the product in case the Pavilion is sent out for repairs can use the serial number to obtain such information.
1.
Turn off the HP Pavilion and close its cover. Disconnect the power adapter.
2.
Turn the computer over and scan the case for a product sticker.
3.
Push the tabs to eject the battery pack if you don't see a sticker on the bottom of the case. Check the battery for a product label.
4.
Loosen the screws securing the cover panel or panels to the computer, if neither the case nor the battery include a product label. Remove the panels to reveal the product label.
5.
Review the product label to find the serial number on the HP Pavilion.
Tip
- You can also find the serial number in the System Information window. Press 'Function-Esc' to open System Information.

If you ever need to have a repair performed on your company's HP computer, it's likely that an employee at the repair shop will ask when it was manufactured. This helps the technician get an idea of what type of replacement components will be required. If a common hardware problem plagues computers manufactured during a specific time span, finding the date can help the technician expedite your repair, getting the computer back into service to help avoid any office productivity loss. All you need to determine your HP's date of manufacture is the serial number.
1.
Fnaf 1 full game free. Find your computer's serial number, which is typically etched into the rear housing panel. If your computer still displays the sticker near the back of the tower, the serial number also can be found there.
2.
Look for the year of manufacture amongst the various letters and numbers. Most HP serials begin with letters, have several numbers in the middle, and end with another group of letters. The year of manufacture will appear in the middle of the number as four consecutive digits. If you purchased your computer new, look for the year you purchased it.
3.
Find the two digits that follow the year of manufacture. These indicate the week that your computer was manufactured. For example, if your year of manufacture is '2009' and this is followed by '14,' the computer was assembled during the 14th week of 2009.
4.
Look at a calendar of the year of manufacture, or a calendar for the current year if you can't locate one. Skip to the week your computer was manufactured to find out in which month your computer was manufactured.

If your business requires you to be on the move frequently, chances are you rely heavily on your HP laptop. Over time and with plenty of wear and tear, your model might require adjustment or repair. To expedite your repair work and locate the replacement parts required, the manufacturer may request your model number. Depending on which model you own, your model number can be found using several different methods.
On the Underside of the Laptop
On most HP models, the sticker on the underside of the laptop contains your model number, along with other important information. Turn your laptop upside down and place it on a soft, clean surface such as a chair or couch cushion. Locate the white or silver sticker on the underside of the laptop, toward the middle of the casing. Read the sticker and look for the prefix 'P/N.' The number following this prefix is your computer's model number.
On the Inside of the Battery Compartment
If the sticker on the underside of the laptop has been scratched off or purposefully removed, another place to check is inside the battery compartment. Turn the laptop upside down and locate the battery compartment near the screen hinge. Depress the lever to unlock the battery and lift it gently upward to remove it. Look for a white or silver rectangular sticker, either on the battery or in the compartment. Locate the 'P/N' prefix and record the number that follows it.
Beneath the Laptop's Bottom Casing
If you can't locate the model number on the battery or on the bottom of the computer, you may need to remove the casing on the underside of the laptop to find it. Ensure that the laptop is powered off and the battery is removed. With a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove all of the perimeter screws from the casing. Place the screws in a secure location and gently lift up the casing. Near the left corner of the laptop, you'll see a square of information and specifications. Locate the 'P/N' prefix and record the number that follows. Replace the casing and re-install the screws.
Using System Information
Another way to locate the model of your HP laptop is by using the System Information screen. Press 'FN-Esc' to open the HP System Information window. A lot of information will be displayed within this window, but all you'll need to look for is the 'Product Number' heading. The number will contain the '#' symbol and is slightly different from a model number, but it will still provide all of the necessary information to the manufacturer or repair service.
Using HP Support Assistant
If you have the HP Support Assistant software installed, you can use it to quickly find your computer's model number. Click the Windows 'Start' button and type 'HP' in the Search field. Choose 'HP Support Assistant' from the displayed results. Your model number and other information will be displayed along the bottom edge of the Support Assistant window.
