I don't know of a chart, but 25 worked for AT&T 4G with the EM7355 card in Win11. I don't think the toughkit number changes with OS. Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux both see it with that number. Also, when I got the EM7511 card, that toughkit number still worked for AT&T. Not sure if Verizon and...

Found an EM7511 card for reasonable price, and put that in place of the EM7355. Just uninstalled software for EM7355 and installed software for EM7511, and works perfectly!!

According to Panasonic spec sheet here: https://na.panasonic.com/ca/sites/default/files/2023-11/TOUGHBOOK%20-%2055mk3%20spec%20sheet%20-%20E.pdf RAM: User-upgradeable RAM (up to 2 DIMM's) 16-64GB total (DDR4-3200MHz) Storage: Main SSD: 512GB, 1TB or 2TB quick-release OPAL NVMe with heater and Option...

My FZ-55 did not come with a WWAN card, and I decided to see about retrofitting one. The official card that ships with the FZ-55 is an EM7511, which supports 4G and NetFirst. The laptop seems to have the appropriate antenna that supports both WLAN and WWAN. When I open the hatch on the bottom, there...

Just pulled the RAM hatch off of my CF-31 MK6. I have 32 GB of DDR4 2666 in mine. It works fine.
Official specs show DDR4 2133.

I took a chance and ordered a "Genuine FZ-55 MK1 Caddy M.2 SSD Bracket FZ-VSDR55T1W For Panasonic ToughBook" (eBay). It shipped from China, and *appears* to be the real thing, but there are some clever fakes out there, so you never really know. The MK1 version of FZ-55 comes from the facto...

On Panasonic Japan (Windows) drivers site, looks like CF-31S, U, or V is MK3.

Update: After looking at available webcams for CF-31, it appears that most sellers say "compatible with all CF-31 submodels - MK1, MK2 up to MK5". Or "WILL NOT WORK IN CF-31 MK6 MODEL*********** The bios in the mk6 is not capable". There are MK6 CF-31s sold with webcam pre-instal...

I installed one in an MK4 not long ago using Bob Johnson install video:

I would think you could do the same with MK6

Missing the forum activity, and appreciating Rob hosting this forum. When my rich uncle dies, I originally planned to buy a ToughBook 40 from Rob. (Unfortunately, my uncles have all died, and none of them left me a thing!!) But I would love dearly to get one of these!!! Who knows, if I drink heavily...
