I lost my Dell laptop on. I've got my service tag number. I've also lodged a complaint in the local police station. Is there any possibility to trace the laptop with the service tag no.? JCG64 Estimable. Jun 29, 2014 1 0. Dell computer serial numbers are important since users need the number to receive technical support or other services from Dell. The tag that has the serial number is usually either on the back, side or bottom of the device. Now on that box it is a 7 digit Alpha numeric number ending with number 1. If you have the service tag it is the same number if u get it give it to police and file F.I.R for the same. Next time when you purchase a dell system the service you should purchase and activate is call low jack.
