need some part #??????? /--\

i have used my cf-29 for a drivers logbook for over a year and looking to up grade to the cf-30 but i can not find 1 that fits the price that has oem gps and wwan touch that looks good so i have found oem gps kits for it but no oem wwan kit all i wont is the oem wwan antenna for it that i can use with a wwan sled but not going to buy the sled just yet
but can i even do some thing like this ?

 

For wwan you need few parts not just the sled or antena. You need metal rail, ribbon connector with stationary connector( sometime they called it docking connector for sled) and also a corner rubber bumper at the top of LCD.

ohlip

 

so how hard is it going to be to get all of that vs buying one with

 

I just quoted a overseas customer of mine ...well the antenna kit that is and he was looking at about $93.64 + $30.00 s/h = $123.64 (DL3MA1369FAA). I told him to sell his 30 and buy one that has it all installed...he was looking at about $700.00 + for OEM parts

 

You may try heartlandsi or request a quotation for the whole set. The installation is not hard. Just follow on the service manual. It is covered with detail.


ohlip

 

hmm i may hold on this and tap back in once i make up my mind if i need wwan i have a 4g phone atm

 

I have the email address for Heartland customer service, this is not on there web site so if you want it PM me. If you request a quotation you will need all the part numbers , some come as a kit and some are all seperate and they are a lot of them

 

if i move you will be the first i talk to i just got a cf-30 touch no wwan or gps but gps looks ez to do got a lot of things i like to do to it first 600bucks i have a lot of parts hear 4 sata hdd i can put in it but can not make up my mind on the one to use

 

Well; while kinda late into this thread:

Panasonic ToughBook CF-30 C2D L7500 1.6Ghz 2GB TOUCH. BACKLIT KEYBOARD

Panasonic ToughBook CF-30 Model#: CF30FTSAZAE

All the "bells & whistles":

Touchscreen/Backlit Keyboard/Novtel WWAN/Intel WLAN/Bluetooth/GPS

 

I have been looking at them too but they have been using the same picture for months now and it says

I know the one in the picture does not look good but what is the one you buy going to look like. I mean how hard is it to take a picture and post it ?
They have 42 of them for sale.

 

These look like they might be off lease from special application use and all scratch in the same place from repetitive use, some could be worse then others though. If I was to buy from this seller I would ask for actual pictures of the unit they will send you.

 

ya i got the seller to part for 600 bucks cf-30 with touch no gps or wwan but gps looks ez to install and the one thing i like is toughbooks are ez to work on to me so i will fix it up so far i got a cf-30 and a Backlit Emissive Keyboard
and i have not gone over 750 with shiping cost more to fill up my truck /--\

 

WOW i found this some ware on hear but WOW i now have the intell to brake one down and put it back http://www.modly.net/servicemanuals/CF-30C-Service-Manual.pdf

 

You want GPS...you got it

You can't, the mods have too

 

this is driveing me nuts i can not find the part # for the wwan whip ant and cover all i wont is the whip ant - cover and wire so i can one day install a wwan sled i see some oem gps kits wiht gps ant hump cover on flea bay but i CAN NOT find a wwan kit OR PARTS no luck in reading the cf30 service manual did not find the part #

 

Back off on the throttle there good buddy and let me look. I may have exactly what you need. I'll check it out sometime today and send you a picture of what I have. I think I have the parts for the lid but not the sled. More later.
Bookkeeping

Check for parts.
I'm on it.

yes the lid parts is all i need once i find a good gps with lid kit i will buy that and install both at the same time and at some point get to the wwan

 

So far I found the antenna. I'm sure I do not have the rubber corner. The pkg got separated but the search goes on.

 

ok will the ant come with the wire to run to the wwan or is that a new part #
you know any thing to do with the military got a part # and must be over complicated

 

Did you find a picture of the WWAN corner? All I have right now is the piece that screws to the lid that the antenna slides through and the antenna. There must be a pcb with cable attached but I don't have that either.
Do you have a schematic (or a link to one?)Also link to parts list. Pictures are better.

 

this is how i found some things on what i need but do not show a pic of the cover but how to run the wwan wire http://www.modly.net/servicemanuals/CF-30C-Service-Manual.pdf

i think i did see a pic of the cover in the link some ware

 

I posted a picture on here some where.....looking now

Thanks Blair, I knew I saw it. Now for a close up. The antenna lead is no issue but what does it fasten to. What service manual did this come from?

 

thats what i like to know hear i go trying to find that service manual looks like e501 or k1006 or k1007 may be it

 

The antenna is enclosed in a "clamshell" maybe E501 and the part to the right of k1005. So I have K1006 k1007 and e501. I can see where k1005 lives but so far haven't found it.
Still looking as I clean the bench. I think the hens were up here scratching around. lol,

 

wwan parts :
whip antenna,


ant sw pcb ,



if you do have the wwan and gps, you may need the dual pass thru pcb,


enjoy !

 

I hoped if I fumbled around long enuf someone would feel sorry for me.

Good flicks.

What does the end of the antenna lead look like inside the antenna clamshell bit?

Sorry Hammer all I have is this. Not including cable or rubber corner.

 

The problem with these service manuals is you need about 10 of them to make 1 good one. It would be nice if they had one that would have all the part numbers in it . What a pain in the A$$.

 

well crap the hunt for parts gos on

 

DAMN now i have drool all over my key bord

 

Why search?

Just put the one you bought on your "Toughbook Collection" shelf and put your "searching" and "modding" behind you.

Everything you desire in one package: "no muss; no fuss."

That's what I've done many times in order to get to the goal I set out to achieve.

"The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, gang aft agley."

 

Here is the part number for the GPS " Top Kit "
DL3MA1369AAA this part# is in the service manual is no longer good
DL3MA1369FAA this is the new updated part #
$93.64 + $30.00 s/h = $123.64

 

i do not wont that one i wont this one and i am going to put gps and wwan on it i payed 700 for my cf-30 + backlit kb with ship and it is in a lot beter cond than that one im not paying 800 more bucks and have a cf-30 just siting hear geting dusted on

 

ok thats one off the list what is the gps hard ware part list

 

That was my suggestion to ROADHAMMER; but he's determined to keep and spend all that money on his Mk1 Core Duo CF-30 rather than get the Mk2 Core 2 Duo unit I suggested; despite the fact that one has the WWAN and GPS he wants to spend all that money on.

Well; it is his money after all.

 

whats so good mk2 vs mk1

 

MK1 = Core Duo = L2400 @1.66GHz = Fast
MK2 = Core 2 Duo = L7500 @ 1.66GHz = Faster

 

hmm i think i will keep what i have and put gps in it talking with some one on fleabay we will see how that go's
all i am going to run is ddl drivers daily log and ms Streets & Trips
my cf-29 now transfer to mobile mechanic service manual

 

Core Duo: 32-bit processor (2M Cache, 1.66 GHz, 667 MHz FSB)

Core 2 Duo: 64-bit processor (4M Cache, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
