CF-30 Problem driver MINI Card

Hallo

my name is Alex.

i am from Germany, so please forgive my bad english.

I have a big problem with my Panasonic CF-30 MK1

Yesterday i installed Windows 7 home 32bit.

Everything is okay, but when i switch the wlan button on, i have 7 problems in the driver manager.

there are 7 entries with MINI Card and i cann´t find any driver for this .

Wlan works.

if i turned of wlan the mini card problems are gone.

What can i do? And what is MINI card

 

My guess, and its just a guess
It could be Bluetooth as the switch not only controls your wi-fi card , it controls bluetooth as well


Read this thread on installing W7
http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/476149-how-load-windows-7-cf-30-mk1-model.html


Alex

 

But Bluetooth is allready installed and worked fine


Just find out, when i am ending the proz wireless WAN the entries are gone


So the Wireless WAN drivers are missing. But i cannt find one

 

What is your full model number

You must have extra options that need upgraded drivers

When I load W7 I have never had 7 problems in device manager , but my cf-30 mk-1 is a basic model



Alex

 

Cf-30fcu80jm

 

Your MK-2 has a few extra options
Verizon EVDO Rev A, and GPS

The missing drivers might be for the WWAN


Alex

 

Yes , but i cannt find WWAN drivers for windows 7

have you a link for this driver?

Many Thanks for your help

 

Try this
http://www.toughbooktalk.com/public...s Manager/&file=VZA-Panasonic-6.9.0-2141c.exe

 

doesn´t work.

i can start the vzaccess manager
but then it comes a warning.
the wwand device is disable.

but it is enable.

can it be, the link you give me is only the vzaccess manager software, but no drivers?


in the vzacces ordner is a ordner drives update drivers.

but when i start this, a warning say´s its not compatible

 

Try uninstalling the items that are not working in device manager and reboot
And then hope that device manager finds the drivers from the Verizon software

Here is more to try

doesnt work

no drivers found

 

Direct from verizon

http://www.vzam.net/UploadedFiles/Pan03_RevA_Driver.exe




Alex

 

Nothing works.

no Drivers found.

the drivers form here

Toughbook Computer Support - Wireless Carrier Software

i cant download

CSA for Gobi 1000 (register to download) but i cant register.

 

Your model did not show up as gobi , unless the wwan is upgaded or changed from factory
You have a Verizon EVDO Rev A
here is a direct download from the site you say you cannot download
ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/toughbook/downloads/WWAN/Software/VZAccess-6.2.2.zip

The other link Direct from verizon is a direct download as well
http://www.vzam.net/UploadedFiles/Pan03_RevA_Driver.exe

Downloaded using IE 8

Within 24 hours one of the forum members here that are running W7 on their cf-30 with a verizon wwan will confirm that this is the correct software to use ,or correct me and provide the link that they used

 

no way.

i dont no, what can i do.

nothings works.

no drivers found.

 

Could you download the two files I linked to ?

Anyway I emailed you the driver in a zip file


Alex

 

yes both files i have downloaded

but they doesn´t work

i can installe them , but the drivers are not correct.

 

Your CF30 came with Vista loaded
Did the wwan work fine from new?

If it was fine before

The Driver must be the issue at this point and all the drivers that we have found are wrong

You may get lucky as someone here might have a link to W7 compatable drivers for verizonwireless




Alex

 

Yes with Vista everything works fine.

So i hope, someone write here how have the same problem.

Many thanks for your help.

Alex

 

One last question
The cf30 had verizonwireless originaly
Is verizon available in Germany or has the wwan card been changed to a HDSPA Modem ?
If that is the case we are not downloading the correct software


Alex

 

how can i check this?

i have to installed windows7 for a friend of me.
he is technical not the best. So he give it to me.

i dont know if wwan card oder hdspa modem is in the notebook.

But i allready testet the hdspa modem driver from your link

the notebook have on the left side a slot for a phonecard

so i need an Verizon EVDO Rev A WWAN driver

but all the drivers i tested, are not working

 

We are not sure, when NEW it had one but the last owner might of took it out because they did not have Verizon in there area. Since all the drivers do not work we really not sure whats in yours so I think what you may have to do is take the card out to see what you really do have installed in the CF-30. Should be a part number on it or show us a picture.

 

is this the card, where the handycard come in?

must i only take out the two screws and pull it out?

 

First turn it off and take the battery out
Yes , take the 2 screws out and it should slide out.

 

I see the wwan card been changed to a HDSPA or even Gobi
The sim card slot is the indication
All the drivers that I have linked to are wrong as you do not have Verizon EVDO Rev A


Alex

 

oh my god,

have you drivers for the hdspa or gobi?

Why stand in den Wlan Switch Prog Wireless WAN.

 

Please pull the sled out and read what it says

Only one problem i have.

Sierra Software says: no simcard

 

Please link to where you found it so that other can benefit



Alex

neverending Problems

 

Try this
Disconect ac adapter and remove battery
Hold the power button down for a few seconds
Put battery in and hook up ac adapter
F2 when booting and reset bios to defaults


Alex

 

you are the best.

its working

many thanks

 

Thanks for getting back to us with the link for the card. It sure will help when this problem comes up again and it will

Damn 5 pages...well we didn't make it to 6 pages Alex :laugh:

 

I thought it would solve your problem

That trick has worked for me in the past when I have changed WWAN sleds



Alex

 

perhaps we make 6 pages.

so i have one more question. Sorry.

On the desktop i have a symbol.
Personal Safe.
this prog i can not delete.

what is this for a programm?
How can i delete?

 

Do you have a finger print reader, on my cf-51 I have a fingerprint reader and the same folder... to get into it I swipe my finger and am in
Can you open it

 

Yes fingerprint is installed.

So the owner must register his fingerprint.

Thanks again.

 

Yes he does and guess what ...you have another problem, I think . Do you have the software for the fingerprint reader ? On my CF-51 it was Upek Eikon Welcome To UPEK - Security Made Simple and when I put windows 7 on it the software had to be upgraded to a new version because the old version would not work

 

Fingerprint software is installed and work.

When i startet, he want to scan my fingerprint.

 

Yes , he can scan all 10 fingers. I guess you are good to go....good luck with it.
