Hi:

 

Taking a look at the first serial number you posted...

 

The 4rd character in from the left is the year of manufacture.

 

So for the first one, it is either 2005, or 2015 depending on the model (and that would be obvious based on the hardware the notebook has, or when you purchased it).

 

The 5th and 6th characters in from the left denote the week of manufacture.

 

So you need to take another look at the first serial number because the 3B is probably a 38 (which means the 38th week of the year).  Just like all the others which have two numbers in the 5th and 6th places.

 

The 38th week of the year is sometime in September.
