Laptop Stolen - Serial Number required!

[DarrenW]

Hi -

Unfortunately some low-life scum broke into my house last night while my wife and I and our two kids were asleep and stole my A Series VIAO (A197-XVP or something - it was the business model with XP) - plus some other laptop as well.

Police were wondering if I could supply the serial number - Now I know I registered it everywhere with Sony etc - so does anyone know how I can retrieve that info. I've check my profile here - but no such details are stored.

I could probably work this out myself normally - but I'm not thinking straight right now - and still in shock.

Cheers
Darren

Just checked on the other VAIO site and my laptop was the VGN-A197VP.

What low life scum would do such a thing?


Call vaio link they should be able to tell you.

Thanks for the help!

I followed the advice and opened a case with e-support and up popped my serial number! Knew I had registered it somewhere!

Keep your eyes open for someone selling a A197VP without a power supply!

Cheers

Hi Darren,

What a terrible thing to happen, hope your family are OK.

The serial number should be in your VAIO-Link account.
I suggest you buy a security pen or take the replacements to the police station to have marked by them, to reduce problems of finding it.

Bets of luck recovering it

what is security pen?

[mvanwambeke]

call the vaio link helpdesk , they can flag it as stolen.
So if someone calls in for support for this device...

It's a pen which writes in ultravoilet so only certain equipment can read it
