    All,

    I am looking for a replacement motherboard for a CF-30FASCZAM toughbook. The existing one I have seems to have some video card issues as it locks up at the bios screen and puts random characters on the display. If you have a motherboard or know where I can find one please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Darron

    You have MK2 unit. The MK3 mbo. is also compatible to your unit but don't try the mbo. from MK1. Why? coz MK1 has diferent harness designed but If you can find a mbo. of MK1 with matching LCD harness, it will be fine. The LCD is compatible to its other though.

    This is the only mbo. that I can find on ebay. But I can't identify it coz this guy has only one picture of it. If those picture is focus on the otherisde of th mobo, I can identify it if it MK1 or mk2 by just looking at the harness connector.

    Maybe its better for you to send a quick mail to him. Good luck.

    I have a feeling the seller is using a stock photo of the mother board that he got off the web ... I did a search and the sellers were using the same photo :eek:

    The seller is using a STOCK photo & the part number relates to a MK1 according to the service manual ;)

    The part number for the MK2 is DL3UP1630AAA. :p

    o.g.
