CF-Y5 service manual

Anbody know where I can find a copy? Is there a torrent file of the service manuals online?

 

Can I have your exact model please?

 

I'm not sure I just bought it, I'll check when I get home.. Thanks!

 

I heard I had a Mark 2 machine... CF-Y5LWFZZBM is the model number.

I am interested in upgrading the hard disk and memory. I'm not sure whats in here, regular ATA or SATA and if it has 2 micro dimm slots or just 1. Right now I got 1gb. MicroDimm 2gb is really expensive

I love this thing tho!

 

Well i guess its ATA... I love linux!!!

You can add
1GB PC2-4200 microDIMM DDR2-533 MHz 172 pin
look under the notebook , the ram cover is there
I think you have now one on-board 512 + one 512 removable
The manual says 1.5gb max

For hard drive I recommend
Samsung HM160HC
It’s a 5400 160gb ata drive

ok that is the fastest drive i guess.. thanks!

 

any advice on the memory, and do you have a service manual? Also can you tell me the difference between the mark 2 machine?

 

Just remember that the memory is microDIMM DDR2 172 pin
There is standard microDIMM DDR 172 pin around , but it will not work
Sorry, no service manual

I have a CF-Y5 manual somewhere, but I think it's on my backup drive at home. Won't be back until 21 December if you don't mind waiting.

 

He's got it already

 

I'm looking for a Y5 manual also, CF-Y5LWEZZBM, it runs hot, overheats, thanks for any help.

My email is in my public profile... anyways... Check ur email now

 

Hi, I have a question, can someone give me the hard drive model that's in the CF-Y5? Toughbook parts says it is part# NC3AYYY00006, and manufactured by Panasonic, but they don't make hd's do they? I think that's some sort of internal part number for the company, does anyone have the real model number of the hard drive? Also, can the stock 60gb hard drive be swapped for a higher capacity one or will there be some kind of size incompatibility?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

ps. I have a CF-Y5 service manual for anyone interested. Please pm me and I'll send it to you.

 

elpidio,
Do a search, I think these are the infamous dual voltage hard drives. One of our resident geniuses came up with a hack which worked perfectly and let you get around the dual voltage requirement. Again, search on Google which will lead you back to the forum.

If it is up and running in windows you can look in computer , properties ,hardware , and get the model # there



Alex

 

Cap, Alex thank you for the reply.

Will let you guys know what I find, I really hope it isn't a dual voltage hard drive, yikes!!!

 

elpidio,
Be calm. The fix is posted here somewhere. Google "notebook forum dual voltage hard drive" and see what you get.

I replaced the hard drive in my Y5 (1.83Ghz model) when I first got it. It was:
- not a Panasonic branded drive
- not a special dual volage drive
My Y5 had a bog-standard 2.5”/9.5mm PATA laptop drive, running at a pokey 4200rpm. I threw it out and put in a 160GB Samsung 5400rp. These days I think you get drives can them up to 250GB in PATA of that 9.5mm size.
The Y7 series moved to SATA drives, which means you can go up to 500GB at 5400 rpm or 320GB at 7200 rpm in those models.
So please, please, please. put that ”dual voltage HDD” thing to bed. It is way misleading. That is from way back in the Y2 times I think.

 

Can anyone point me to instructions to dis-assemble a y5 so I can replace the hdd?

 

------------>TomCat has almost EVERY MANUAL EVER MADE FOR EVERYTHING EVER MADE!!!

 

- Unscrew the hatch underneath the laptop
- Gently pull lose the HDD inside the casing
- take casing off, but note which way it fits
- gently remove HDD from extenable cable connect (you can break this so be careful)
- swap new drive in
- put the stuff back in in reverse order

Its a pretty simple operation.

 

I highly recommend taking pictures as you dis-assemble the Y5. And from more than one angle. It takes a bit longer, but then you have a reference when you end up with an "extra" part or two. Good luck!
