I recently purchased a CF-51 MK3LL. I'm super happy with it, especially the UXGA screen.
However, the trackpad is quite worn down and it is very smooth. It's rather annoying. I've taken laptops apart before, but I'm much more comfortable doing it with a service manual.
IBM has a great resource of online service manuals, but Panasonic doesn't offer anything. Can someone point me to a manual some place so I don't take apart something I don't really need to? I'm also looking at upgrading to a Core2Duo, and a manual would be handy for that too.
Thanks!

I have the service for the MK3LL and can send it to you but don't post your email address in the open forum. If you are a member of fleabay send me a "ask the seller a question" here eBay My World - nickscards and include you email and will send it to you.
The core 2 duo T7200 or T7600 upgrade is easy...15 minutes tops. The T7200 will give you more bang for your buck. The extra $100.00 for the T7600 is not worth it. Below is a couple short cuts that will help you out.
