    I have a 14 year old CF-28M, ex-military. I have lost my key! I need PTA130. If you have one, please let me know what you want for it. Thank you!

    This should be in the BST forum...

    Now, about that key... The dock key?? If it is the dock, I have actually removed a toughbook from the dock... The toughbook was fine, but I did have to destroy the dock...

    No, it's the power key.

    Ahh... Yes that board is user replaceable. Some others on here know WAY more than I do on CF-28's. Just wait. They'll chime in :)

    I've heard that its not too hard to get the bottom off a locked one and then replace the switch with a non-keyed one. They were pretty much a joke to begin with.

    Why would you want one? They are so easy to bypass and offer little true security. (Though I guess it does off that "James Bond" styling!) A good BIOS or boot password would be better.
