How to check manufacture date on a Saturn?

Post by sfgsgvs »

I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything. I have found some numbers on the back of the unit and under the lid, but I can't find a date in any of those.

This is the back of a Saturn (not my unit), how do I read the date from that? The only thing unique is the serial number. It must be something totally obvious that's flying straight over my head here.

My unit (all PAL units?) looks like this one on the bottom. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/301 ... 99b8_o.jpg
No dates anywhere.

Hmm, US units it would be on the sticker where the EMC one is. The inside of the shell might have mold batch dates, but that could still be quite a bit off from the board and assembly date.
