Dell computer serial numbers are important since users need the number to receive technical support or other services from Dell. The tag that has the serial number is usually either on the back, side or bottom of the device. It reads “Service Tag Number,” and it often has black and white coloring. An alternative approach is to visit the support center at the Dell website and to click on the link that reads “Service Tag Locate.” The button on that part of the site reads “Detect My Product.” Users have to click on the “Yes, I agree” button on the next page to agree to the terms and conditions before the tool downloads. The application is called “Dell System Detect,” and it is an application that can find the serial number of the device by scanning a user’s system files. There are browser specific instructions for using the tool listed on this part of the site as well, so users need to read the instructions for their particular browsers to get the best results.

Serial Number On Dell Monitor

If you bought a monitor alone (without a computer) you can't register it at retail registration. Monitors don't have service tags but use the computer's tag-if purchased with a computer. Your serial number and invoice should be saved for warranty service for a stand alone monitor. The serial number is on a sticker near the computer connections.

In order to obtain technical support or have your Dell PC serviced you will need to first find the serial number of your unit. Dell uses the term service tag - this. Decoding a DELL Monitor Serial Number using EDID Hi All, I am recovering the EDID of all monitors in my enterprise - the Dell Monitor EDID is posing a bit of a problem.

You might have to carefully turn the unit face down to find it. Monitors are usually replaced, not repaired. If the monitor doesn't work right out of the box you normally return it to the online retailer, not Dell. Check with the retailer for return policy and warranty terms. Ah OK, Yes the monitor was bought alone from an online retailer, however other than the box there are no details on the back of the monitor whatsoever -I have checked several times now. If you want me to I can take a photo to demonstrate. Is it possible this is a mistake or is there reason to suspect that refurb monitor are being sold as new through online retailers?

If you say the warranty is with the retailer and not Dell, what happens if the retailer goes into administration? I have never known any other Monitor manufactuer to not replace their products directly. Dont get me wrong, the monitor is fantastic quality; however I am not comfortable knowing that a Dell as the Manufacturer don't handle warranties if not bougth directly from the online store. I will contact the retailer for some clarity in this matter. Thanks Simon. Simon, For U2410, the barcode and serial no.

How can the answer be improved?

Sticker is on a sliding card located at the card reader/usb hub on left side of monitor. You need to pull it out to in order to see the sticker. You could refer to online user guide for details: Personally, I like this new feature than the rest of monitor which I could easily read the serial no. Right in front of me rather than have to peek the serial no at the back of monitor which often blocked by cables. Many thanks for your help in locating it, although I would never have thought have looking there. Just a thought but maybe a paper addendum included with the monitor would help idenify this for future buyers.

With regards to the warranty/guarantee, a colleauge of yours said that when purchased from a retailer. The retailer deals with monitor replacement (not Dell) if there should be a problem within the 3year period.

Is this correct and what if the retailer goes into administration before the warranty/guarantee expires? Many thanks for your assistance.
