Adding WLAN to CF-30GTJZZAM...

Where does the WLAN card plug-in on the CF-30? My CF-30GTJZZAM is missing all the wireless hardware, including the antennas, and I have no idea what I'm looking at underneath the keyboard. I'm just trying to figure out what hardware I need to acquire; if some one could post a picture or point me in ...

Re: The beginning of my toughbook oddessy...

Yeah, I had a feeling this is where I would end up. And it does run really well with Windows 7. I still am not sure what happened last night & today; but everything seems to be back to where it was. So I disabled automatic updates, set a restore point, and I think I'll be happy with what I have....

I shut it down to leave a couple minutes ago, and it installed another update. Now the touchpad is back...

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Re: The beginning of my toughbook oddessy...

Yeah, I just realized my mistake. The CF-19 is currently running windows 7. It was installed when I bought it, and it was running rather well. But difficulties with drivers and random updating have me considering downgrading to Windows Vista. Just need to know if that's a good idea, or if I should t...

Re: The beginning of my toughbook oddessy...

If you don't have one,get a recovery disc. Believe me on this one,the CF-18 and CF-19 are a pita to do manually and get things right. There is a Windows 7 disc for the Mk3 as I just looked and I have one. Get with Rob to get a copy. I bought a mint Mk1 a couple of years ago before i knew anything a...

Re: The beginning of my toughbook oddessy...

Downloaded Adobe Reader last night on the CF-19... Windows decided it needed to update... I was aware that as long as I run Windows 7, I would have driver issues, particularly with the keyboard hotkeys. But since the update, I've lost my mouse touchpad, my com ports for my WWAN card, and God knows w...

Re: The beginning of my toughbook oddessy...

I'm reading through these posts and agreeing with all the advice. I've named myself "hack" as I've got big fingers and bad eyes. Delving in as you have is admirable. Until you get more into what wireless card you will install on the 30, Shawn posted once these little gems that work well o...
