Is there anyway I can get the model number and serial number for my laptop. The label on the bottom is durn near unreadable.
You can check your machine serial number through a few methods:
Go into BIOS and look for something like " system unit serial number" for ThinkPad or Lenovo SN for IdeaPad.
ThinkPad Machine BIOS
IdeaPad Machine BIOS
Please refer to this document which explains how to install LSB.
