Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I don't know my device's serial or model number?
A: If you're unsure, check your device’s label or manual. Accurate details are key to finding the right part.
Q: Why is providing the model number better than the device name?
A: The model number allows our system to pinpoint the exact spare part for your specific device. Using only the device name might return general parts for a series. For example, while the EliteBook 850 series may use both 65Wh and 45Wh batteries, the EliteBook 850 G9 specifically requires a 65Wh battery.
