I'm a new boy to this site, just found it, I have 2 panasonic toughbook CFT2
One of them (the best one) will not use the "s" Iwould like to swap the hard drives around, will it work ? is it easy to do?
If two yeses - Please tell me how. Thank you.

If you mean the "S" key doesn't work then it is much easier to just swap out the keyboard.
Of course remove the battery first.
About 6 screws from the bottom and the keyboard flips over and very carefully undo the ribbon cable and then put the other one on. Don't forget to re-apply some new thermal compound. (The keyboard is the CPU heat sink..)
To change the hard drive the entire case needs to be split open, A much bigger job. Many more screws from the top as well as the bottom a couple more fragile ribbon cables to deal with.
Not an easy job if you are a newbie.....
I can't advise this to be your first "toughbook" project.
CF 27, 28, 29s are much easier to work on.
The cute little toughbooks are a pain in the @ss.

HI gray-beard,
Thank you, I will go for pad change, little screws and me don't get along.
Kind regards.
