I know it's the series number, but it's which one? I know that if it's a 3 somewhere then those are the one that's not affected. Can somebody shine a light for me? Thanks!

6th digit is anything other than a 1 or 2 and you are good to go.

If you read left to right, it would be the left. ;-)a

My sn is 11 characters so the 6th is the same whether you count from left to right or reverse :) A 0 in both cases
