    I'm looking for the Panasonic bios update utility for a CF19 MK5, believe the program is BU19M5.exe

    It's used to assign the model number and serial number to the motherboard when it has to be replaced as the new ones come blank.

    Good luck on that one. My guess only Heartland services would have that since Panasonic officially signed them as its primary repair depot.

    also moved your post out of the guide and started a new thread...good luck

    Still looking for the Panasonic bios update utility program for a CF19 MK5

    Acquired a new motherboard but it came blank with no model or serial number. The bios utility is designed only to enter that information not to hack or modify the actual bios. Unless someone can write an update that just enters this information for me???

    Can you upload what software you have to dropbox or something like that?
