Quick Dell 2005fpw question

Ok, I've got a Dell 2005fpw with some backlight bleed issues, and I've heard the best way to get a good response outta Dell is through the online chat or email.

However, they both ask for the serial number, which I cannot for the life of me find. Dell's website seems to have a guide to find serial numbers on every product they sell EXCEPT monitors.

There's a white sticker with a barcode on it on the bottom left of the back of the monitor (looking at it from behind), however I don't see it on there. There's "Rev A01", which is just the revision, and then there's a long 19 character alphanumeric string. I thought that was it, but all the fields asking for serial numbers on Dell's site will only accept a max of 7 characters.

So where the heck is the serial number?
 
I can't find it on mine either

I would check the box, but it's under a pile of other boxes and I don't feel like cleaning up the mess:

Maybe you can try "2005FPw" as the sn? It is 7 characters long ...
 
Ugh, this is really aggrivating. Nowhere to be found on the box either, the only thing there is an "Item Number" and when I enter that Dell's website reads it as a Dimension 4300 PC. WTF...

Also when I try to go by item, monitors are not an option.

Arg...
