    I admit I have a sickness... since I just got my new CF-53 today and of course the first thing I want to do is modify it :D

    So far am impressed for a "semi-rugged" model...

    If anyone has the service manual / schematics I would appreciate it...

    thanks in advance

    I agree with that. If I remember, you can get manuals from that site without the special software. The link is a size 6 font and one word.

    Blair,
    It is really hard to find. It doesn't show up the first time for me either.

    Look for this line
    This file is downloadable free of charge... processing (please wait)

    Then this comes up
    Letöltés nem lehetséges! A böngésződ/géped blokkolja a letöltést!
    (Ellenőrizd az AdBlock Plus (ABP) vagy outpost tűzfal, illetve
    az általad használt internet security program beállításait
    (Kaspersky, Norton, stb..)

    Download not possible! Your browser/machine blocks downloading!
    (Check AdBlock Plus (ABP) and
    also check your outpost firewall or Kaspersky internet security or Norton security
    or other similar intenet security programs.../if you use one of them/)


    I disable adblock and wait a minute and presto.

    This file is downloadable free of charge: Get Manual

    Get Manual is the link.

    So disable adblock and wait for it to finish processing and display the link...

    Or you can PASS the test :biggrin:
    I feel like I'm back in 3rd grade when I passed a test.

    And some of those manuals are in funny languages. You may want to pay attention to the country codes.
    I don't think this Japanese version is going to do me much good.
