    Welcome to the forum.
    No luck on a flash for CF52G models.
    Several members have looked for years.

    You will have to just use the CF52G the way it is.
    Panasonic never released a flash for it.

    Did it come with a wireless card or did you install one?
    CF52 are VERY picky about wifi cards.
    If I recall, it will see a Intel 5100 or 5300 and not much else.
    DO NOT try a card from a Lenovo//IBM or HP.

    Bad card maybe.
    Where is the card installed?
    Wifi goes under a plate on the bottom of the CF52. NOT on top above keyboard.
