    I've noticed alot of guys posting needing all the tiny parts of these 2 models. I have a ton of each of these units that are basically paper weights now. Drop me a PM with what you need and we can work something out for you.

    how much for a whole unit Dan that would be for parts, not for actual rebuild use? Im assuming you have some that are no good that are just for parts aka paperweights, I need a CF-29 for parts

    Dan, how much for a good CF-28 caddy/connector and battery? How much for 1Ghz unit with those parts? I am looking for a new project piece and need a 1Ghz unit if possible.

    Dan, Id just like a whole unit as complete as possible for parts, I guess it really doesn't matter, it would just depend on whats making it a paperweight, I dont really need a MOBO, just the casing and doors and as many accessories as I can get, maybe working LCD etc? Thoughts?

    Trooper - I can get you a cf28 caddy for $100 I think that's less than what they go for on ebay. As of right now I don't think I have any 1ghz units but I'll look around and let you know

    Connor - I can send you the mk4 that someone dunked in water. LCD is good, touch is crap and mobo is dead and as far as i know all the accessories are good too. you might even get luck and fix the mobo and get you a complete unit for cheap. it will come with a rubber keyboard with a few worn buttons too. I'd say $125 would be a good price unless you want the caddy and battery then it will be a bit more

    My turn,,,,
    I am interested in an entire touch screen lid assembly for a CF-29.
    Touch screen does not need to be working.
    As long as it lights up and is complete otherwise, it will fit my needs.

    Thanks

    I'm looking for a WWAN (WM Door) for a CF-29, along with a Handle, and most of the ports/doors, if you have them I would be interested in them or even a whole parts computer that has them in good condition

    I am also looking for a CF-28 and a CF-29 Battery...

    i have no wwan components for the 29, let me know what doors you want and I'll get you a price. I do have a few batteries for the 29 but I'll have to test how long they hold a charge. no batteries for the 28 though

    I'm gonna assume you mean the PCMIA slots because the mini-PCIs are soldered to the board. If my assumption is correction yes I have some of those e-mail me and we'll set something up

    Psych0Thrasher, It was reccomended by Toughbook (Rick??) to drop you a note for some of the 29 parts that I want/need. So, since I cannot PM yet, Here is what I need:

    1) Backlight Chicklet Keyboard (I have a *insert bad word here* Backlight Rubber one now)
    2) Internal rubber seals for the Power/USB/Modem-Lan area
    3) Power port cover (All Three if in like-New cnd)
    4) Front most hinge for the HDD Door (and sticker if you have it) - mine was damaged via usps shipping
    5) LCD Latch - Mine has a hair-line crack in it
    6) GPS Antenna bump-out (I have a Sprint WWAN, just want Antenna area)
    7) Top right (As you are looking at the screen) rubber tringle for lid (for a GPS mod)
    8) Panasonic Logos for the outside of the lid (Middle of Display & Top)
    9) Shoulder Strap (I have the brackets installed still from factory)
    10) Power-port cover for CF-18

    Please get in touch with me at NKrebs AT StrathamFire DOT org. or K1SFD AT arrl DOT net. I also have a 28 and an 18 on the way, so I *might* need other parts as well. Do you have parts for the others??

    I have 2 cf-18s right now. so I don't have any parts for those. I will send you an e-mail here soon and confirm what you need and what I have. It might take a bit of time because I'm stupid busy right now.

    Does the CF-29 CD/DVD drive require the same proprietary carrier as the CF-28, or a different one, or did they switch to a standard interface?

    I am considering selling one of our two CF-28's and buying a CF-29, or perhaps trading up, but need to know more about what I am getting into.

    I am told that a 1.3GHz CPU CF-29 is significantly faster than a 1GHz CPU CF-28. What makes that so? The mobo/system board FSB?

    Do you sell complete working CF-29's?

    Thanks! doc

    I know that the carrier is the same but in order to put a dvd drive in the cdrom caddy you have to do toughbook's mod.

    I know that the 29s have better processors in general. PIII vs Centrino M. and I can remember off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure the FSB and mobo in general is superior to that of the mobo on the 28s.

    I don't have any complete units right now, I am in the process of refurbing a few but they got put on the backburner due to work. I'll let you know when I get one ready

    Dan, do you happen to have a 29's top case with everything connected to it? My touch screen is cracked... still working but distracting. PM me if there's anything up your alley.
