Locating Your Hp Monitor: Finding The Model Number

If you need to find the model number of your HP monitor, there are several ways to do so. On most HP models, you can find the model number on a sticker on the underside of the laptop, towards the middle of the casing. The model number will be the number following the P/N prefix on the sticker. If the sticker on the underside of the laptop is not visible or has been removed, you can check inside the battery compartment. The model number can also be found by using the System Information screen. Press Fn-Esc to open the HP System Information window, and look for the Product Number heading. The number will contain the # symbol and provide the necessary information for manufacturers or repair services. Additionally, if you have the HP Support Assistant software installed, you can use it to find your computer's model number. Simply click the Windows Start button, type HP in the search field, and choose HP Support Assistant from the results. Your model number will be displayed along the bottom edge of the Support Assistant window.

Using a Keyboard Shortcut

If you want to find the model number of your HP monitor, you can do so by using a simple keyboard shortcut. This method works for HP notebooks and laptops.

To open the HP System Information window, which should display your product name and serial number, press the Function (Fn) and Escape (Esc) keys at the same time. The model number, product number, and serial number are all listed in the HP System Information window. This shortcut is a quick way to access this information.

The HP System Information window may appear differently on some devices, but it usually includes essential product information. If you can't find the model number in the window, check the front or top of your device for additional information.

It's a good idea to write down your model number and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Checking the Product Label

To find the model number of your HP monitor, you can check the product label. This is usually located on the underside of the monitor. Place the monitor on a soft, clean surface, such as a chair or couch cushion, and turn it upside down.

On the underside of the monitor, you should see a white or silver sticker, usually towards the middle of the casing. This is the product label, which contains important information about your monitor. Look for the prefix "P/N" on the sticker, and the number following this prefix will be your monitor's model number.

If the sticker on the underside of the monitor is missing or damaged, you may need to check inside the battery compartment. Turn the monitor upside down and locate the battery compartment near the screen hinge. Open the compartment and look for a white or silver rectangular sticker, either on the battery or inside the compartment. Again, look for the "P/N" prefix, and the number following it will be the model number.

If you cannot find the model number on the underside of the monitor or in the battery compartment, you may need to remove the bottom casing to access the information. First, ensure that the monitor is powered off and unplugged, and that the battery has been removed. Use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove all the perimeter screws from the casing. Gently lift the casing and you should see a square of information and specifications near the left corner of the monitor. Find the "P/N" prefix and record the number that follows it. Remember to replace the casing and reinstall the screws when you're done.

Using System Information

If you want to find your HP monitor model number using the System Information panel, follow these steps:

First, press and hold the Windows key (⊞ Win) and then press the 'R' key. This will open the "Run" command on your Windows PC. Then, type "msinfo32" and click "OK". This will open the Windows System Information utility, which contains detailed information about your specific laptop model.

Next, locate the "System Model" section in the System Information panel. Here, you will find your HP laptop's model number listed next to "System Model".

In addition to the model number, the System Information panel also provides detailed hardware information, such as the amount of RAM in your laptop. This information can be useful for various purposes, including checking your laptop's warranty status, verifying compatibility when purchasing accessories or upgrading components, and receiving accurate troubleshooting assistance when needed.

By following these steps, you can easily access your HP laptop's model number and other relevant system information using the System Information utility in Windows.

On the Underside of the Laptop

If you want to find the model number of your HP laptop, one of the first places to look is on the underside of the laptop. Place the laptop on a soft, clean surface, such as a chair or couch cushion, and turn it upside down.

In some cases, the sticker on the underside of the laptop may have been scratched off or purposefully removed. If you can't find the sticker or if it doesn't include the model number, don't worry—there are other ways to find this information.

First, check inside the battery compartment. Turn the laptop upside down and locate the battery compartment near the screen hinge. Depress the lever to unlock the battery and lift it gently to remove it. Look for a white or silver rectangular sticker, either on the battery or inside the compartment. Again, locate the "P/N" prefix and the number that follows it.

If you still can't find the model number, you may need to remove the casing on the underside of the laptop. Make sure the laptop is powered off and the battery is removed. Use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove all the perimeter screws from the casing. Gently lift up the casing and look near the left corner of the laptop. You should see a square of information and specifications, including the "P/N" prefix followed by the model number. Remember to replace the casing and re-install the screws when you're done.

Knowing your HP laptop's model number is crucial for several reasons. It can help you check your laptop's warranty status, verify compatibility when purchasing accessories or upgrades, and receive appropriate assistance when contacting HP Customer Support. It's a good idea to write down your model number and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
