looking at a HP dv7

[TJ8799]

I am looking at a laptop that says it is a HP Pavilion DV7 but nothing further they do give a serial number but search on HP Site says it is out of warranty so goes no further 

the Serial Number is 2CE2113Q22   how can I tell what model it is?  I was going to use the parts for a spare machine as it looks like one I have

Thank you

The serial number you provided indicates the model is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

Below is the link to the parts list for that model:

HP PartSurfer

Below is the link to the service manual:

that was fast   so what did you use to find this 

will a screen from a HP Pavilion dv7- 4283cl   on that model meaning interchangeable

Thank you

You're very welcome. 

I entered the serial number in the partsurfer link I posted, which gave the product number. 

Then I entered the product number in the paersurfer database and got the model number. 

Compare the parts lists for both models and see if they use the same display part number. 

It's probably unlikely that they are the same.

I will try that next time One more question a person send ed me a laptop that was working before I sended it to them   the  HP Pavilion dv7-4283cl

but when I got it back it shows a white screen only and nothing on a external monitor   can a video card go it that fast

Hi, Todd:

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know the answer. 

It could be a faulty graphics card, but it may be some other problem.

Since I am not a PC repair tech by trade or training, it's not something that I have any experience with.

Thank you for the help 

I think the buyer switch parts on me ( ouch 😞 )  and switch the motherboard as if I look up the numbers it shows not one for my unit

Thanks for the help

Have a Nice Day..
