    Hello,
    Recently my CF-19 needs a new DC adapter port cover, and USB 3.0 port cover and the lid rubber plate (DFHM0286YB) which simply disinetegrated when I unscrewed it.

    I cannot find any real genuine parts supplier on ebay and I am wondering if there was a European supplier that sells them similar to : https://www.bobjohnson.com/panasonic-toughbook-cf-19-lid-rubber-plate-a/

    I like the above website but price + shipping seem quite unreasonable.

    Thanks.

    Panasonic UK is the best place.

    Contact by email and they will send you an order form.

    Cant help you but living in Canada similar situation when looking for parts. Most of the time i just buy a whole laptop for parts almost the same price. you can find used cf-19 in good shape for cheap and most of the parts are interchangeable

    I used to be in Canada, and I know what you mean, but at least there are tons of parts in the U.S. you can order from e-bay. I live in Switzerland now and it seems that typically while comsumer products are very accessible, the parts are impossible to find. I seem to have to order them from U.K. or China.

    None of the parts I've ordered from China are genuine, especially the port covers. They aren't made with the same materials and not waterproof.
