There is no way we can tell you that since we can't see your computer.
If this is a Dell (which is the only OEM I know of that uses a Service
Tag/Express Service Code), you can:

1. Look in your manual; or

2. Go to Dell's website (or the computer company's website if not a
Dell) and see the tech support documents for your specific model
computer. There will be a link to click to show you where to look for
the Service Tag/Express Service Code.

3. If a Dell, there is also a Start Menu entry under Dell which shows
the Service Tag.

4. If this computer is a Dell, the location of the Service Tag/Express
Service Code depends on the model machine. The sticker can be:
a. On the top
b. On the bottom
c. On the side
d. On the front

If you need more information, please go to this link before making your
next post so we can give you the best help possible:

Its usually on the back of the chasis, if its not there, look at the bottom.
If its not there look through your documentation that came with your PC.

Frankie,
I think 'service tag' is a Dell computer term, do you have a Dell computer?

On my Dell XPS410 the service tag is a gray label with white lettering
attached to the front of the top of my tower.

Assuming you do have a Dell, this is probably the easiest way: Dell's
support site has a program that will find your service tag number. Go to
http://support.dell.com/support/down...=us&l=en&s=gen > click
on Enter a Tag > on the right side, click on Find My Service Tag.

I have several laptops from Dell, and all of them show the Service Tag info
here:

- Right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties" (alternately, go into
Control Panel and click "System")

- Click the button at the bottom that reads "Support Information"

If you're referring to a Dell computer, then the "Service Tag" is the
serial number. For any other manufacturer, ask that manufacturer's
technical support.
