Re: Can't boot OS from removeable SATA SSD, only M.2 SSD

There is lots of little tricks to toughbooks. That was a trick needed to boot up some older models from the single core days. Also some of the older ones were really picky about what brand ram you used.

Re: Can't boot OS from removeable SATA SSD, only M.2 SSD

One thing to try is set bios to default. Save then reboot. I know it has worked with a few other toughbooks that was having booting issues. Another trick was to boot a few times with no drive in it at all then boot have the drive you wanted installed.

Re: CF-33 Touchscreen issues???

Personally It's the first time I have seen or heard about this on a pc in general. Usually if it was a bad touch screen it was the whole thing. Either it worked or it didn't. Being this is a dual touch model. We can see the digitizer is working fine. Maybe we can just focus on the brand/type of touc...

Re: WTB caddy for a cf-19

The caddy is different. They swapped from a IDE to SATA drive going in the 18 to the 19. If you have a Mk1-2 CF-19 some of the parts on the 18 will swap over. Less will swap over on a Mk3-8 as the chassis was changed up. Post your model numbers up when you have time.

Re: Screen illumination

Also check your bios setting to see where they are set at. Also see if you have a light sensor. It will auto dim. That can be shut off in the bios as well.

Re: cf 18 mk1 and ssd disk ???????

You have a few options. One is a IDE SSD drive. Or find a IDE to SATA adaper. Most adapters won't fit inside the small CF-18 case. Another option is to get a IDE to M.2 adapter. I haven't tested out some of the newer ones to see how well they work.

Re: cf-30 bios password ?? remove...

IF you send it to be serviced Panasonic's official stance is to replace the motherboard to "remove" the password. If you can still boot from the hard drive you can install windows from another machine and then install that drive in your 30. The older machines you could do some work on the ...
