    I have just been in the Bios and the model number in the bios on my 29 is CF-29CWPCCKM

    On the base of my 29 is: CF-29CTKGBKM

    Looks like sometime the board as been changed or the base as??????

    Do you have the features of the CWPCCKM, rubber KB, 60gb hdd, 512mb, Bluetooth, EVDO or the CTKGBKM, 40gb hdd, 256mb, GPS or neither? Certainly sounds like a Frankenbook.

    MK1's do not display the hours in the BIOS or anywhere else.

    Here are the chracteristics of each:

    CF-29CWPCCKM Description:
    ***HARTFORD PD ONLY***
    Pentium M 1.2GHz ULV (Centrino), 13.3" XGA Transmissive touch screen, 60GB HDD, 512MB RAM, 56K Modem, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, Floppy Disk Drive, Intel PRO WLAN, Verizon 1xRTT WWAN, Bluetooth, Backlit Rubber Keyboard, Windows XP Pro
    MSP: $6,111.00
    Status: DISCONTINUED

    This unit would have a "pull-up" antenna on the left side of the screen lid for the Verizon Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN).

    CF-29CTKGBKM Description:
    Pentium M 1.2GHz ULV (Centrino), 13.3" XGA Transmissive touch screen, 40GB HDD, 256 MB RAM, 56K Modem, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, Floppy Disk Drive, Intel PRO WLAN, GPS, Windows XP Pro

    Both are Mk1 units: which best describes yours?

    The Total Operating Time numbers show on the Mk4 and Mk5 units; not the earlier units.

    It does sound like its been apart for one reason or another. Personally, I would pull the bottom back off and make sure the thermal pads are ok or just replace them. It's hard to tell who had it apart or how good of a tech they are. It would be annoying to see the thing get toasted from overheating because they didn't replace the thermal pads.
