    Hello all, new to forum. Already got some good info here. I am looking for a service manual that would cover CF52MLBBD2M. Trying to resurrect a couple of non working units.. Thanks in advance.

    Hey, thanks for the response. One just totally stopped when I was using it, appears to be a power issue. I don't see anything obvious on the motherboard. The second one started giving Windows errors that the video is trying to recover from an error and then blue screens. It would restart sometimes but will not POST now. Looks as if the video card is gone. Would you be willing to part with the parts unit? Let me know what you would want for it.

    You can have it for the shipping, it works but the LCD is burned and it's stripped of battery,dvd,etc. Motherboard,etc is all good. It got painted long ago.I have never seen one toast the GPU. Download Linux Mint 17 and live boot it from DVD, sounds more like Windows error. Remove the caddy and drive when you do.

    If it black screens, unplug,remove battery, hold power button down and count to 20, then try it. The other one popped a fuse somewhere I bet. Motherboard time.

    That would be awesome as I have enough parts to bring it back to life. I have Linux Mint installed on another HD and it would go to a white screen and then go dark and then not POST, not even the Panasonic screen.

    From what I read that is what I figured on the second one. I may try to find a MB and try that.

    You can see the screen burn around the edges, I had a sign taped to it.

    Just a thought, you might have had ram.
    Try a different ram chip

    Thanks UNCNDL1, tried the memory from a working unit with no change.
