HP does not recognize serial number of my laptop

[fernandezfran]

I need to get HP support for my HP Pavillion x360, but when I enter the serial number in the hp support page, it gives me the message "Please enter a valid serial number". However, I am indeed writing the correct serial number, as found in the back of the laptop and also in the pop up that appears after pressing Fn + ESC. 

Why does HP not recognize its own products' serial number? Is there any way to get this sorted out? Thanks

Welcome to the HP English Community --

HP Support case submission does not recognize out-of-Warranty products.

This means the serial number might be perfectly fine -- the online case submission cannot accept an out-of-Warranty request.

If the product is still in Warranty and you cannot submit your online request, let us know and we can forward a request to our Moderators for help.

Details / What to do

========================================

The serial number might still be accepted for other tasks - For example, opening the Product Home page and / or PartSurfer.

Examples

 Product Home

 Enter the device type and model name of your HP product

and / or

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

• For the most precise results, use your Serial Number for your search
• Reminder:  Do NOT post private information (including serial number) in the Community

Open PartSurfer

• Select your Country
• Enter the 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
• Items accompanied by a tiny box in the Add-to-Cart column are available for purchase

Parts marked as "n/a" (or are missing from the list) are not available from HP.
