Where To Find The Serial Number On Your Asus Monitor

If you need to find the serial number of your Asus monitor, there are several ways to do so. The serial number is usually located on the original packaging, either on the box or on the small grey Asus VIP Member notice booklet. If you don't have the box, you can try checking the back of your monitor, or using the Command Prompt or BIOS Settings on your computer.

Check the original packaging

If you still have the original packaging for your Asus monitor, you can check the box for the serial number. The serial number is crucial for identifying specific parts for your device and allows teams to accurately identify the complete list of all the spare parts that make up your device.

For computers, the serial number is located in the BIOS, which you can access by pressing F2 during startup. For Windows devices, you can find it through a DOS command prompt. Right-click on the Windows logo (start menu), click "Run", type "cmd", and then enter the following command: "wmic csproduct get name, identifying number".

The serial number should be printed on the outside of the box, often located near a barcode or QR code. It is typically a combination of letters and numbers, usually 12 or 15 characters long. If you have a QR code on the box, you can scan it to obtain the serial number.

In addition to the serial number, you may also find a "check number" on the box, which is required for registering your product with Asus. This is a four-letter/number combination and may be located on a sticker on the outside of the box, or on the Asus VIP member notice included with your purchase.

Keeping the original packaging, including the box and any accompanying documentation, is helpful for future reference and can make it easier to locate important information about your device, such as the serial number.

Use the Command Prompt

If you're using a Windows device, you can find your Asus monitor serial number through the Command Prompt. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Open the Command Prompt

Right-click on the Windows logo (Start menu) and select "Run". You can also use the keyboard shortcut Windows + R to open the Run window. Once the Run window is open, type "cmd" and hit Enter to open the Command Prompt window.

Step 2: Enter the Command

In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and hit Enter:

Wmic bios get serialnumber

Alternatively, you can use the command:

Wmic baseboard get product,manufacturer,version,serialnumber

Step 3: View the Serial Number

After executing the command, you should see your computer's serial number displayed beneath the "SerialNumber" field. This command uses the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) tool to retrieve the system's serial number from its BIOS or UEFI firmware.

Please note that this method may not work for older Asus systems, as the serial number will only appear if the manufacturer saved it to the BIOS or UEFI firmware. If the command doesn't work, you may need to check the BIOS settings or look for a sticker on the hardware or packaging.

Check BIOS settings

To find the serial number of your Asus monitor by checking the BIOS settings, follow these steps:

• Start your computer.
• Before the computer boots, hold the F2 key or the Delete key. This will take you to the BIOS or UEFI firmware settings screen.
• Navigate to the Main/Information tab. The location of the serial number will vary depending on your device, but it will typically be found on the "Main" or "System" screen.
• Look for the "Serial Number" field. The serial number should be displayed here.

It's important to note that this method may not work for older systems. Additionally, the serial number will only be displayed in the BIOS settings if it has been saved by the manufacturer. If the number is not properly filled in, you may see something like "0" or "To be filled by O.E.M." instead of the actual serial number.

If you are unable to find the serial number in the BIOS settings, you may need to try alternative methods, such as checking the sticker on the hardware or the original packaging, using the Command Prompt, or checking your online account or warranty documentation.

Check the back of the monitor

To find the serial number on your Asus monitor, you can try checking the back of the monitor. This is where the serial number is often located on Asus monitors.

Turn your monitor around so that you are facing the back of it. Here, you should find a sticker with some information on it. The serial number should be listed on this sticker. It will likely be labelled with the prefix "S/N", "Serial No", "SSN", or "Serial Number".

If your monitor is a newer model, the sticker may be covered by a small flap or panel. This is designed to keep the sticker clean and protected. Simply lift the flap or remove the panel to reveal the sticker underneath.

In some cases, the serial number may be printed or etched directly onto the back of the monitor, rather than on a sticker. Take a close look at the back of the monitor to see if you can spot any etched or printed numbers or codes.

It's also worth noting that the serial number may be located in a few different places on the back of the monitor. It could be near the ports or connectors, or it might be closer to the top, bottom, or sides of the monitor. So, be sure to check all areas of the back of the monitor thoroughly.

If you're having trouble locating the serial number, you may need to shine a light on the back of the monitor or use a magnifying glass to get a closer look. Additionally, if your monitor is mounted on a stand or arm, you may need to remove it to get a clear view of the back.

Check the box the monitor came in

If you still have the box your Asus monitor came in, you can check the outside of it to find the serial number. It should be located on a sticker or label on the exterior of the box. The serial number will be a sequence of characters that usually includes a combination of letters and numbers. The length of the serial number may vary depending on the specific model of your Asus monitor.

The box should have a label or sticker that includes the serial number, as well as other relevant information about the product. This label is usually placed in a visible area on the box, making it easy to spot. It is important to check the entire box thoroughly, as the location of the label may vary depending on the model and packaging design.

In some cases, the serial number may be printed directly on the box itself, rather than on a separate label or sticker. Again, this information is typically located on the exterior of the box to make it easily accessible. It is important to check all sides of the box, including the top, bottom, and side panels, to locate the serial number.

If you have purchased multiple Asus monitors or have multiple boxes, it is important to match the correct box with the corresponding monitor. The box should have a model number or product name that you can use to identify the specific monitor it contains. This information can be found on the same label or sticker as the serial number, or it may be printed elsewhere on the box.

By checking the box that your Asus monitor came in, you can easily locate the serial number and any other relevant information associated with your specific monitor model. This information is crucial for various purposes, such as registering your product, verifying warranty coverage, or ordering compatible spare parts in the future.
