    You will need to contact them by telephone
    They don't make it easy

    You can also email them at [email protected] . You will need to give them your full model number CF-19####### and the part number of the finger print reader. It takes 2-5 days for a reply.
    Now you say old 19 so I am guessing it a CF-19C (MK1) ? If your 19 doesn't have a reader in it now then you need to send them a CF-19 model number which has one...why you ask :confused: ...when she lookes it up in her service manual to check it your model number will show "none installed" and she will email you back saying " wrong model #" and you will play "email tag" for the next couple weeks :( . They are very good to deal with... really... as long as you have the correct model number. The reason why I am telling you this is it happen to me last month. I placed an order for me and Teo. The parts were for a MK3 but I was giving her my MK1 model #. Three weeks later I got to place my order. :eek: I am not blaming them....they just want to be sure I am ordering the right part.
    Below is two CF-19's MK1 that have the fingerprinter reader installed in them if that helps. Sorry I do not have the part #

    CF-19CCBJXVM - Digitizer screen
    CF-19CHBJXBM - touchscreen

    Have you read this yet http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/339911-cf-19-fingerprint-install-w-pictures.html



    The prices are almost 2 years old so I would bet you are looking at $200.00 :eek:
