Hello,
I have tried all the suggestions on the site that you have proposed.
I even installed the CPU-G interface for Linux which is the equivalent
of CPU-Z for Windows, but it gives only the model of the motherboard.
I'm looking for the serial number of the motherboard.

Thanks again for your help
Best regards

For which purpose do you need the serial number?

The possibility to query the serial number of the motherboard exists only, if the manufacturer has stored the serial number in a chip on the board that can be read out electronically (e.g. some kind of ROM/PROM/EPROM/EEPROM).

When looking at the output of the dmidecode command ...

Base Board Information
     Serial Number: Not Applicable

... I have the suspicion, that the serial number on your board is not accessible electronically (neither with Ubuntu tools, nor with the CPU-Z program on Windows).

I suggest that you either contact the manufacturer and ask him for possibilities of electronically reading the serial number or disassemble the laptop until you can visually read the serial number.
