Check Toshiba's laptops specs by serial number?

[roberto233]

Hi friends,

I intend to buy a secondhand Toshiba Portege Z30-B laptop. Since it's secondhand, I'd like to check it's integrity before buying. In other words, I'd like to make sure the components are still original (not being changed / replaced).

I already have the serial number and part number of the laptop (provided by the seller). By using these numbers, I managed to get warranty information from Toshiba's support website. However, I couldn't get more detailed info about the laptop, such as:
- Specifications (CPU, RAM, ...)
- ID number of parts like CPU, RAM, ...
I have searched all Toshiba's support websites on the internet for 2 days but found nothing.

Do you have any idea how to proceed?

Thank you very much,

Roberto.

You can only rely on the integrity of he seller because no manufacturer logs serial numbers of individual parts. Worse stlil, some parts simply don't have serial numbers.

You could download the Toshiba service manual if there is one. If the CPU is soldered to the motherboard and non-replaceable, it tells you it's the original chip.
