CF19 mk8

Hi
I got really lucky and managed to get super cheap mk8 on Ebay.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another thing is after installing windows 7 touch pad is getting mad and I can't do anything, will anyone have Panasonic Windows 7 img, please?
I had it on ssd but stupidly I formatted it before I secured a copy

Please any help will be much appreciated.

Sorry, but forum rules prohibit any discussion of passwords.
Did you try installing the win 7 driver cab file?

Sorry but we can't talk about passwords on here. Please read here.

There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for anyone asking for anything having to do with how to bypass/reset passwords,

 

If I were to want Windows on my Toughbook, I would buy the proper restore image from Heartland Services.
It's authorized, legal, and $35 dollars shipped Fed Ex next day delivery. Best money you will ever spend if you want your Toughbook to work properly. I don't have their phone number handy, but a simple search should find them.

 

I tried to install drivers but it's is rather difficult as cursor keep throwing be out.
Installed win10 and is the same.
Please check this video:

 

I just checked and my CF19 is still under warranty until next year.
Do you think the fault is purely SW of HW issue?
I'm so pi**ed off with myself that I formatted original SSD.
Any idea how could I get hdd returned to original state?

Your 19 was bought cheap and most of us know why. If you want this 19 to run like a normal 19 then the only way is to send it to heartlands services for a motherboard replacement. This is the reason why we stay away from them cheap Toughbooks

 

Disable GPS in BIOS and send me $34 )))) joking

 

We don't

 

Use a usb mouse.
Or a usb mouse/keyboard combo.

 

Can't get into bios, pass protected

 

Tried, but only USB mouse without luck, emailed Panasonic about warranty but being a second hand not sure is warranty is still valid

 

In device manager make sure the touchpad/mouse driver is VERSAPAD.

 

Pull base and unplug GPS.

 

And then install gps registry patch and plug gps back.

 

I don't want to open a covers yet as I don't want to void my warranty (in case Panasonic will honor it).
So you think is a issue with GPS not a touchpad itself?
I just started another install of fresh windows 7 with panasonic drivers implemented by me (NTlight) if this will not work i will try install all drivers again when is installed.
I managed to get it done one and had to reinstall it as messed up drivers for WWAN.

 

Take hdd out, put into another pc (any), boot, install gps patch, return hdd back to mk8.

 

sorted, I think.....
Installed drivers through safe mode and now cursor stopped his madness.

I will try to update all drivers now as some errors showing up after booting up.

 

nearly done, just wwan driver now....
stragling to install it, showing in device manager MC7305.
Downloaded drivers from Panasonic website and still don't work
Any ideas?
Regards

 

Use search box in upper right of this screen.

Type "MC7305" and brick. I personally haven't used 7305.

 

Sorted
driver need to be installed though the installer provided in a file not though device manager as I tried to do it.
After that Sierra Watcher need to be downloaded and installed.
Tried on my spare sim and works as a treat.
Made myself a copy of windows with all drivers and updates installed
Now I can start to enjoy my new toy

thank you everyone who help me to get it sorted.

 

They didn't extract or they did extract? If you got the "this model does not support" error on extracting just use 7zip on it and it will extract it out.

 

Hi
Found another issue
Bluetooth connection is greyed out in wireless switch, also bluetooth symbol shows red.
I'm guessing that bluetooth module is switched off in BIOS, tried to reset CMOS by removing battery and holding the on/off switch but only got error showing bad cmos and had to setup date and time in Windows.
I had spare bluetooth module from CF19mk1 but in MK8 there is no connector for it on WWAN board, board is the same as in MK6.
Any idea how can I turn bluetooth on without accessing BIOS?
I might need to email VOLVO hoping that they will provide me with the xxxxxxx

Volvo, why I thought they made cars?

 

They are Chinese now and produce the thing we can't discuss )

Check whether bluetooth is enabled through PC Information viewer.
Maybe it's a driver issue. Intel

 

also make sure to have patched this before running bluetooth

Just checked in PC Information viewer, BT
is disabled. Any idea how to change it without getting into Bios?
