    look on the bottom of the laptop for a sticker with a barcode on it. Give us every number there (especially if one is preceded by SN).

    If you don't see a sticker there, find the hard drive bay, power down/unplug the laptop, remove the HD, and look inside the bay.

    The model number should be listed somewhere on it. On mine the specific model number is on the service tag that also says it's a v6000 the s/n and the p/n. On the bottom of the tag it lists the model and the length of the warranty. In my case v6105nr.
