    It should be written on the underside of the number, or on the box in which it came. It is not something that can be obtained from the specifications. It is also a unique number, and refers to your actual notebook. Note it down somewhere safe when you do find it, as it may be wanted by Dell if you want to make a claim on warranty grounds.

    Dell uses a service code which is a 5 to 9 alphanumeric code it will be on a barcode
    Also there is an express service code on your laptop which will be all numbers, Dell uses this when you call in to them
