Serial number scan

[Daniellekay]

I want to scan the back for the serial number but I have no idea what type of code it is called or what type of scanner would work.

If there is a sticker on the Chromebook, it will provide some, all, or possible none of the information you seek.

If the label is there and contains the "serial number",

You could use your phone, an iPad - or maybe just sit the chromebook on your printer and scan the bottom.

A better solution, if your Chromebook still works and you can log in:

Finding your Product Name, Product Number, or Serial Number

Select (first round) Notebook PCs

Next, when the document opens, scroll to the bottom section for instructions to find your Chromebook serial number.

Section:  Install Chromebook Recovery Utility (HP Chromebook, Chromebox)

Example (minus the illustrations available in the document)

Use the Chromebook Recovery Utility to find your Chromebook or Chromebox information.

1. Download and install the free version of the Chromebook Recovery Utility from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Click the Launcher icon

   > click All Apps

   > and then click Recovery.

3. Click Get Started.
4. On the Identify your Chromebook screen, type the code provided.
   The model name and number display under the image.
