On some models, it\u2019s near the hinge, or where the battery is (especially if it\u2019s removable). Look for a label marked \u201cS/N,\u201d \u201cSerial No.,\u201d or \u201cSerial Number.\u201d ([download.lenovo.com](https://download.lenovo.com/manual/thinkpad_l14g5_l16g1/ug/html_en/en/Find_your_serial_number.html?utm_source=openai))\n   - **Desktops**: Check the back or side panel of the tower. Look for a white or silver sticker with the serial number printed on it. ([techcult.com](https://techcult.com/lenovo-serial-number-check/?utm_source=openai))\n   - **Tablets**: Serial numbers may be printed on the back of the device or inside the battery compartment. ([techrounder.com](https://www.techrounder.com/how-to/how-to-find-and-use-lenovo-serial-number-for-warranty-and-support/?utm_source=openai))\n   - **Smartphones (Lenovo / Motorola branded)**: Normally found in *Settings \u2192 About Phone \u2192 Status*, or by dialing `*#06#`. ([en-us.support.motorola.com](https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/158474/~/locate-the-serial-number---lenovo-k-series?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Inside the Device / Battery Area**\n   - For laptops with removable batteries, sometimes the sticker is inside the battery compartment. Remove the battery (do so safely) and check the interior surfaces. ([portlandstate.atlassian.net](https://portlandstate.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/psu/pages/3124854997?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **On the Box or Packaging**\n   - The box your device came in often has the serial number printed on a label along with the model number, barcode, etc. ([batterymall.com](https://www.batterymall.com/blogs/lenovo/where-is-the-serial-number-on-lenovo-laptop-how-to-find-it?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Digital Methods (if you can power the device on)\n\n1. **Lenovo Vantage App (Windows PCs)**\n   - Open **Lenovo Vantage**, go to the **Device** section or \"My Device\" tab \u2192 **Device Details**. The serial number, product/model number, and BIOS info should appear there. ([download.lenovo.com](https://download.lenovo.com/manual/thinkpad_l14g5_l16g1/ug/html_en/en/Find_your_serial_number.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Command Prompt (Windows)**\n   - Run this command:\n     ```\n     wmic bios get serialnumber\n     ```\n     It\u2019ll show your serial number. ([itssc.rpi.edu](https://itssc.rpi.edu/hc/en-us/articles/16973124834701-Lenovo-Options-for-obtaining-the-serial-number?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **BIOS / UEFI**\n   - Restart the computer and press the key to enter BIOS/UEFI setup (often **F1**, **F2**, **Del**, **Esc**, or similar). Look in \u201cSystem Information\u201d or a similar section for \u201cSerial Number,\u201d \u201cS/N,\u201d or \u201cProduct ID.\u201d ([techrounder.com](https://www.techrounder.com/how-to/how-to-find-and-use-lenovo-serial-number-for-warranty-and-support/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **System Settings (Tablets / Phones)**\n   - For mobile devices: *Settings \u2192 About \u2192 Status* often lists the serial number. ([en-us.support.motorola.com](https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/158474/~/locate-the-serial-number---lenovo-k-series?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## If the Physical Label Is Damaged or Missing\n\n- Use *Lenovo Vantage* or the support app to pull device details. ([itssc.rpi.edu](https://itssc.rpi.edu/hc/en-us/articles/16973124834701-Lenovo-Options-for-obtaining-the-serial-number?utm_source=openai))  \n- Access BIOS/UEFI if possible. ([techrounder.com](https://www.techrounder.com/how-to/how-to-find-and-use-lenovo-serial-number-for-warranty-and-support/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the device won\u2019t turn on but you still have the box or purchase paperwork, use those. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/LegionGo/comments/1ck4f6o?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which Lenovo model you have (for example, \"ThinkPad T14\", \"Legion gaming laptop\", \"tablet\", etc.), I can give more precise directions for *your specific device*."
