As the details provided are not enough to provide a complete and
exact solution to your issue, therefore in order to help you
resolve this issue, please provide me with the following
information to find specifications for the particular product and
to assist you better.
1. 10/12 digit alphanumeric Serial Number of the notebook (like
IN23412347/P123ktxz1234).
2. 6 or 7 digit alphanumeric Product Number of the notebook (like

For your information, most of the newer notebooks does not
come with infrared port as this technology is getting replaced by
other features like Bluetooth and wireless LAN. These technologies
are better in all respects as compared to infrared.
