15400 hours, but I don't see how that matters regarding how long the bl works with w7 as compared to MX21.1, or am I missing something?
After using it earlier, and having the bl fail, I booted the unit and the bl is working fine...in w7.

I have a mk2 that the backlight is going to die..soon. It is dim and can be seen flickering. When I run w7 the screen functions normal, dims after set period of time, blacks at set time, etc. It will run for days before the backlight fails and the screen goes black. Using a flashlight I can shut dow...

Thinking about this some more, if your unit had digital touch originally, then you will have to flask the BIOS with one from a analog touch. Phoenix does not have tools, like AMI, that allows you to d/l a BIOS image from a unit, change/mod the image and re-flash the Bios with the modded image.

Did you find the bluetooth drivers? If not, I found one in a folder CF-18Mk1/utl2/drivers/bluet. I have uploaded the bluet folder to dropbox uncompressed. Download, copy to the /utl2/drivers folder on your CF-18 ssd and click on setup.exe. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qg50xenq773q8jw/AAAsp040bGxNVdlLZ...

No other place on the board you can adapt it too? (I haven't had one of these units yet) One of the problems is that his D1 is one of the Celeron units that Panasonic made special for VW/Audi. There are connectors missing from the system board and they also have a special BIOS. I am not saying it c...

Are you sure that the daughter board is installed properly? Is the ribbon cable seated into the connector on the system board properly? Is the cable orientated properly and not upside down? If the board is installed correctly, the device should show in the BIOS. I never heard of a serial port needin...

That is good news Leo. When I run a search on the VID and PID numbers, the results say it is a ALPS Bluetooth. That is for VID_044E&PID_3001. Note the "E" after 044. I have not found any results for VID_044 #no "E". VID_044E is the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. Do you have anythin...

Leo, Download what you can from that site, then post what you are missing. In the meantime, I will see if I might have drivers for CF-18's on a hdd somewhere. I don't have any CF-18's anymore, but if I did, they would be running MXLinux. My CF-29 runs well with MXLinux. Specific reason you want the ...

I have d/led bluetooth driver for a CF-29MK4 running XP from that site about 10 minutes before I posted this.

Let me know how it goes.

" ..... correct motherboard. " Is that due to it being a Celeron (Audi/VW unit) and not an i5 cpu, or something else? What would postage be to postal code T5H 2W9? EDIT Never mind. I looked over the pictures and my system board does not have the board connector that the cable goes into. Pr...
