A. This can vary depending on the laptop brand you have as well as the actual part you're looking at. Generally every part in a laptop has its own part number and should be replaced only with the same part or a substitute part. To find the part number look for a sticker on the part which may resemble some of the examples below.

Toshiba Laptop part numbers, for example, would be something like K000004080, P000387490, P000346800, etc. Here is an example of a Toshiba part number sticker:

Whereas HP part numbers would resemble this format: 444002-001, 486550-001, 506124-001, etc. Here is an example of an HP part number sticker:

You will find variety like this between laptop brands, but you generally will find a sticker with a number on it similar to what's pictured above.

Sometimes the part number may be printed directly on the part, rather than on a sticker, so if you don't see a sticker, look for numbers printed on the part itself.

Items like Hard drives, LCD screens, Batteries, etc. that were not manufactured specifically for your laptop model, usually have a manufacturer's number on them which you can also use to locate a replacement.

Here is an example of a Hard drive manufacturer's number:
