    There is a chance that you can find the serial number using DMI utility. This utility is not for general public, but if you take your laptop to Toshiba repair center, they can try to read the serial number from the system board. I'm not sure if they tried already. The DMI string will tell you the serial number and the configuration code. I hope the serial number was written when they built your laptop.
    If you will not find it, you have to call Toshiba.
