Locating the exact part number on an ASUS component is the fastest way to ensure 100% compatibility when ordering replacement hardware. Whether for your ASUS laptop, console, or any other device, ASUS generally prints a standardized set of identifiers directly on the part itself.
Understanding the Text on Your ASUS Part
Using the internal display ribbon cable (EDP cable) as an example, here is how to break down the silkscreened text printed on the circuit board:
| Component Element | Code | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
|
Bare Part Number (Best Search Term) |
08201-04065100 | The primary 10-digit or 12-digit inventory control number used by ASUS. Always use this full string when searching for replacements. |
| Model / System String | UX8406MA_SYS_EDP_FPC_40P_2L | Describes the compatible device series (UX8406MA Zenbook Duo) and the component type (40-pin Flexible Printed Circuit EDP cable). |
|
Revision Number (parts will not always have a revision number.) |
R2.3 / REV: R2.3 | Indicates the specific engineering iteration/generation of the component. Revisions account for minor factory production tweaks or minor trace routing changes. |
Where to Find the Part Number
On most original ASUS components, such as cables, trackpads, and daughterboards, the part number and revision are directly silkscreened onto the PCB in white lettering or printed on a small white adhesive barcode sticker.
