My Acer Aspire laptop was stolen yesterday. I do not have the serial number to track down the laptop. Is there any other way that I can track it using the model number, part number of the quick guide, or the purchase date?

Where was it stolen? I'm pretty sure the only way to find it is if it had Lowjack on it.

  • Anonymous Jul 20, 2011

    I dont know what lowjack is and im pretty sure i dont have it installed on the laptop. It was stolen from my house. I have all other information except the serial number which is what the police are asking me for. I also cant find the box that the laptop came in which also had the serial number on it. So is there any other way of getting that serial number?

    It's this thing you can get to track your belongings like cars and laptops, etc. Yes there is!

    1. Where did you buy it from?
    2. Do you have a receipt from buying the laptop?
    3. Can you lookup in your bank records for any info related to purchasing the laptop?
    4. Do you have any saved emails from when you purchases the laptop?

Where can i find the serial number of acer aspire 4315

Dear Paulpwajok,

In the case of a laptop (notebook), turn the computer upside down, as if you was going to take the main battery out. Near the product key, you should see a large square white sticker with the following

Acer aspire xxxx
model # xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
made in china xx:xx:xx

(x is a bunch of alpha numeric characters).

Your can also find the serial and model number of the machine in two more places.

one is within the system bios/ cmos (get to this by F2 on bootup)
other one is within windows. . . go to start>control panel>system.

If you are feeling technical, then you could always go into a cmd or command.com interface and run systeminfo, that will tell you everything about the computer.

Note: if the serial/ model numbers dont match the sticker, then chances are you have potentially a stolen machine or a pirated/ counterfeit operating system installed.

I hope this is the fixya for you and look forward to hearing how you get on.

yours sincerely

My phone was stolen yesterday. i want to blocked it now.its SAMSUNG CHAMP COLOR: DEEP BLACK, SAMSUNG GT-C3303K, SERIAL NUMBER: 8806071000039, IMEI NUMBER: 353373040799797

1 call your carrier (give this info to them)........to track, block it or shut it down.... this will also help you with the billing (you will not get bill from the time you lost it).......you can also change the message, letting close ones know you are okay you just do not have the cell anymore...

2 get a police report that it was stolen (your carrier is nice, but they can get down right nasty too)

I'm David from Kampala Uganda.I had my Compaq CQ62 stolen yesterday from Watoto Church where I volunteer. I want to know if there is a possibility of tracking it within Kampala. If I have its serial...

Unfortunately,unless you installed tracking software/hardware, there is no way to track it. The best thing you can do is to report it stolen (with serial number) to Compaq and local authorities.

My nikon camera was stolen about 5 months ago and i wanna know if tell them what the serial number was if nikon can track it down

Giving the police the serial number will only help if it turns up somewhere such as a pawn shop. They cannot "track" the camera by the serial number.

Serial Number Gone

You didn't mention whether your system was sick or not. If it isn't, download Belarc Advisor and run it on your Acer. It will give you the SN found in silicon in the unit as well as a whole list of other things you should know.
If your system isn't running at all, you may be out of luck since you may not get it back if it was stolen along the line. Acer can dig the SN out of that unit and they may choose not to return it to you if reported stolen.
I see no reason for removing the SN unless it was sold by a thief.

I had a laptop stolen out of my car are there numbers that can be traced if i hava a regestration on it or am i just out a pc

If you have the MAC address you might be able to track it down if its ever used.
Also try contacting your manufacturer if you have any documentation or serial numbers of your laptop. Your manufacturer or retail store might have a service, or can track whether someone else re-registers it,

Besides that all you can really do is hope.
When an item is stolen many times its hard to track down because of the surplus amount of stolen items.

The MAC address i think is ur best bet, but you'd have to dig around and its not going to be worth it, because the mac address is officially embeded on your laptops hardware, Most thieves are not smart enough to realize that.
