    The one you have is the newest CF-52 out now ( MK5). Below is what your 52 had when it left the factory. I do have one for a CF-52 MK4 . The service does not show or tell you how to take it apart. Check out the picture below

    Model Number : CF-52VCABX1M
    Status : CURRENT
    MSRP : $2,979

    Description: Windows 7 Professional, Intel Core i5‑3360M 2.80GHz, 15.4" WUXGA LCD, 500GB Shock‑mounted HDD (7200rpm), 4GB, ATI Discrete Graphics, NO Wi‑Fi, NO Bluetooth, **Special Federal Model**, DVD Super MULTI Drive, TPM 1.2, Toughbook Preferred

    Depending on what you want to do.... The MK3 version would most likely work for you!

    and the MK3 service manual is better because it shows/tells you how to take it apart step by step.

    Try this one http://tim.id.au/laptops/panasonic/CF-52AJYZDZM.pdf
