How to find ThinkPad serial number if label is worn?

QuestionI'm having some trouble with my T500 ThinkPad and want to contact service, but am not sure how I can find out the machine type and serial number to provide to support when I call because the sticker on the bottom of the laptop is faded so I don't know what the S/N is. I do have one number though: [serial removed] was what I copied down from it before it became faded. I dont know what to do now, so if you have any ideas, that'd be great.
Answer 
Generally the label with type and serial information is found on the bottom of laptops and tablets and on the rear of desktop systems and on the back or along the edge of displays.   As noted by the question asked above, in some cases, the label may become worn.  To reduce / avoid this, the type / serial label was relocated to the battery compartment on some systems with removable batteries, along with the Win 7 COA.  As Win 8 does not have a COA lable, and print technologies for labels have improved, most current systems have the label on the bottom.
Some tablets may have the type and serial information label on the inside of memory door / SD card slot covers as was the case with the ThinkPad tablet type 1838/1839.
Here is a link to an article on the support site with examples of label locations for different model Lenovo systems.   If the system will not power up at all, finding the physical label is the best course of action when contacting service.
If the label is missing and the system will power up, there are several ways to easily find this information as it is written into the BIOS on the system board.
1) Command Prompt
Run an elevated command prompt, Enter the command "wmic bios get serialnumber" (without the quotations).
2) BIOS
Boot to BIOS (press F1 on startup) and the model type and serial number will be listed.
3) Diagnostics - Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) or the prior Lenovo ThinkVantage toolbox.

wmic bios get serialnumber  does not work !!!!all your pages about how to find a serial number are disfunctuional !!! What a bed service

    How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product

    This works for any Mac provided that the logic board has not been replaced.
    I recently had the logic board replaced in my iMac. After the tech left (on site repair thanks to Applecare), I went to about the Mac and found jibberish numbers. I called Apple and the AASP and found that he had forgotten to register the serial number. So he came back and, with a special tool (as he called it - looked a little like a USB stick) he contacted Apple and then entered my original serial number as I read it to him.
    So, I assume they changed the process since I still have the same serial number as before.

    If you downloaded the standalone trial version of Lightroom, it will be necessary for you to uninstall that version. Then you will be able to install Lightroom through the creative cloud application manager. After you install Lightroom that way, just double-click on the catalog that you have already started.

    Maybe a way to find serial number after a device is no longer in your possession - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19524469 - "The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices."
    Finding serial number for a device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18246553 - from box or backup file, not from Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526 - If you registered a device you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • HT1349 How to find the serial number of my iPad that has been stolen?

    Hi all,
    My iPad's been stolen, and in part of the police report that I'm filing, the serial number of the iPad would be required.
    I do not have the packaging with me so I'm not sure how to retrieve this. Apparently I could use my Apple account, however, after logging in, I'm unable to find any such link that would help me retrieve this.
    Appreciate any ideas, guys.
    Thanks.

    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.
