How to find hardware configuration for a computer using ProdID / Part Number / Product Number?

[hkrausmisc]

I assume you can use the ProdID printed on the bottom of the computer.

But I looked and looked and can't find an HP tool anywhere that lets you enter this ProdID and find out the specific configuration for an HP computer.

I'm trying to figure out which display panel was built into an EliteBook 1040 G6, if anyone is wondering why I'm asking.  There are 7 panel options and no way to tell which one was built in (other than obviously the single 4K option).

I can give you some places to look.

PartSurfer might be able to tell you exactly which parts came with your computer.

For best results, use the Serial Number for your search

Reminder:  Do NOT post private information (including serial number) here on the Community)

 Open PartSurfer

• Select your Country
• Search for your computer / printer / device
• Need Help?  Tab Self help > find and open the User Guide and FAQ

How to use PartSurfer:

• Select your region / country - PartSurfer must know your general location
• Enter your device Product Number , Serial Number, or Part Number in the Quick Search box
• HINT: To see a system-specific list, replace the Product Number with your device Serial Number

Notes

• Items accompanied by a tiny box in the Add-to-Cart column are available for purchase
• N/A means the part is not carried / offered for purchase by HP.
• Parts marked as available for purchase might be available from:  HP Parts Store

OR

• Use your search engine to find the part number at your favorite online store.

Less likely, though worth a look since you might be able to combine different pieces of information:

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > System Information

Category Components > Display

and / or

Provide us the Product Number - we can see what we can find for you.
