CF-19 a few questions

I just bought a CF-19 model CF-19CHBAXBM and I need a bit of help. A few questions.

1. What is the web page where I can type in my model and it gives all the info?

2. Can anyone tell me which power supply I need? I'm seeing only 1 listed on Ebay for CF-19 MK1. I would like a panasonic brand power supply and cord.

3. Some batteries have a different color tabs, what is the difference? I see a battery labeled CF-VZSU48U is on ebay.

4. I would like to run either Vista or Ubuntu and links you can lead me to are greatly appreciated. Install Linux with thumb drive??

5. I have a Usb dvd rom drive will that work with the CF-19? It's for an Xbox 360 and has worked with other laptops in the past.

CF-AA1633A M1 is what came with my CF-19, 16V 3.75A however, any Panasonic charger with a yellow tip will work.

That is the correct battery. It should have a blue tab.

No problem to run either OS. If you run Vista you should update the BIOS to the Vista BIOS.

Should work with no problem.

Is this power supply right?

Yes, that will work. Note the yellow tip.

 

Also ones like this too will work very good. They are IBM which a lot of us use because it also has a car plug so its like 2 in 1 and the price is good too Combo AC-DC Charger 16V 4.55A IBM ThinkPad Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 22P9003 | eBay . The seller is also a member of this forum " springfield "
