    Hi,

    I have a power switch malfunctioning problem with my CF-W8, which started about two years ago. I have it fixed by Panasonic about a year ago when the CF-W8 was still under warranty. According to the report, Panasonic said they repaired the motherboard to get it fixed. Only after about 1 or 2 month after the fix, the same malfunctioning started, meaning I need to start to push the power switch multiple times to get a start. At first, it was just 2 or 3 pushes, then it increased over time. Recently, the problem becomes unbearable -- sometimes I need to keep switching for 10 or 20 minutes. Yesterday was the worst experience (so far) -- it takes me more than a hour of switching.

    Has anybody experienced same problem? Does anybody know what the problem really is? the CF-W8 is out of warranty now, how much will it cost to fix? Thanks

    I am going to close this thread since it is the same as the other thread.
