CF-50 & CF-51 screen interchangeable??

#1 Post by ToughNut »

Hi all,
I have a non-boot CF-50JAKUJZZ (mk1, I think) with known good screen and was wondering if the whole works (screen, lid, inverter, ribbon cables, etc) can be swapped out and fitted to a CF-51mk2 (CF-51JFVDCBM).

Did a side by side comparison, measured with tape... seems to be the same size but since I've not taken either apart, I can't be absolutely sure. Can someone shed some light, please.

Many thanks!
Ron in SG

Well not sure if this helps but check this out http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PANASONIC-TOUGH ... 2eaa237062 This seller is selling this LCD as a CF-50 / 51 . I would say the one you have should fit going by that.

As I said in the other forum, look very closely at the connectors. The 50 and 51 use different connectors and there is also a different number of connectors.
One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...

Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

AND also we all know that a lot of sellers on ebay don't know jack about Toughbooks :D . I figured you would know Robert since you were tinkering with them a while back.

The only way I know that you will in all likelihood get the same connectors, is getting an LCD from the same series and same processor. If you have a 51 with a 1.7, then you need to find one that CAN BE VERIFIED that it came from the same model. It does not necessarily have to be exactly the same model number, but it needs to meet the criteria I mentioned. The bad part is, many of the vendors pull the LCD's and then say they will work with a "48/50/51" when in fact they will not. Yes, the screen MAY be the same resolution (and maybe not), but unless you plan on doing some soldiering, no way will they connect. Hope this helps...
