Thanks, it's applied to the most of the Panasonic Toughbook models.
very helpful advice
Thanks for watching!
Hey there, thanks for the video. I have a MK1 FZ-55 with no WWAN card installed. I really want cellular capability, the sim slot is present in the rear I/O. Is it as simple as installing the WWAN card to get cellular, I cant see the connectors when I open the door on the rear of laptop?

This is 3 years old
True! Although, this video is still applicable today. Thanks for watching!
my windows for some reason wont let me checkmark the option on the top at 1:25 the checkmark uncheck itself
That's odd. Make sure that your Windows is up to date and try again. Thanks for watching.
Hey Bob I have a question about the Dell Latitude 5424 Rugged, I bought from auction and didn’t come with a charger but I had one from another Dell laptop and it don’t seem to charge the batteries and the laptop won’t power up, also I read that the usb-c port was used for power also, is that true?

Picked up a CF-54 HD touch screen and car laptop mount to road tune my racecar engine, cheaper than dyno time; if you got the skills.
Great choice! Thanks for watching!
Annnnd where’s the getac in this video?! 👀
A Getac would still be a fine choice for a Mechanic! Especially the K120! Thanks for watching!
@@Bobjohnson I just bought your i5-k120. I like the the removable headunit!
so even the FZ55 MK1 with i7 8665U support NVME or must be some model only ? thank you
The FZ-55 MK1 can support an NVME, but they come standard with an M.2 installed. If you wanted an NVME, all you would have to do is install it. The MK2 comes standard with the NVME. If you're shopping for one, if you purchase one through us, we'll install a NVME in it if you request it. Here's our current inventory www.bobjohnson.com/toughbook-fz-55/ and you can call us at 302-659-2727 to make that request. Thanks for watching!
How can I use camera on Panasonic toughbook CF-54
There should be a camera application to use the webcam. Thanks for watching!
Can you get the 'Mk3 all black lid & badge' option in to review Bob??
Those "special edition Toughbooks" do not come from Panasonic. Typically a refurbisher upgrades a used laptop and paints the bezels, replaces the sticker, and they charge extra for it. If we get one through trade it, we'll do a comparison. Thanks for watching.
In real world, even during a war nobody does what you did with this PC, BUT it is exposed to eletromagnetic pulse (artillery explosions or somethings like that), can you like mythbusters style give it a try?
That'd be fun to try! We're to look into it to see if there is a way to test it safely. Thanks for watching!
Where is the bridge battery located?

I have 8 gb of ram can i upgrade to 16 or higher?
Sadly no. The RAM on the CF-20 is soldered on to the system board so it's not upgradable. If you wanted one with 16GB of RAM you would have to get one that already has it installed. Hopefully this helps, thanks for watching.
I like you watch,! could tell what it is please.?
It a Fit-Bit! Thanks for watching!
Still working on windows 10
Thanks for watching!
Wish once the tablet was placed on the dock you could connect the keyboard via usb to use while on the desktop dock
You can! There's a USB port on the front of the dock for that purpose! Thanks for watching!
@@Bobjohnson but there is not one on the keyboard. You have to use another keyboard
Hello Sir, What does it mean with my Getac has a solid red light and wont turn on? I looked at the manual but there is no info on that error. Any suggestions?
Hello! The best advise to run a power cycle. So unplug it, take the battery out and hold the power button for 30 seconds. If that doesn't work, fill out our Tech support form. Our in-house technicians will answer with the links and info you will need or redirect you to our repair department. Here is the link: www.bobjohnson.com/tech-support-form/ Thanks for Watching.

How to enter boot menu on this device?
Here's a blog that we wrote about accessing the bios on a Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1: www.bobjohnson.com/blog/toughpad-fzg1-how-to-access-and-update-the-bios/ Thanks for watching!
what size screwdriver do you use because even a triple zero is too big to remove the middle screw.
Do you carry the GPS module?
For which tablet?
I can't thank you enough bob, so thank you, I am so grateful that you made this video, good luck on other videos mate!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I got water splash at my laptop but it's working fine and water got in through vent Is that anything need to worry
Only time will tell. If you start having issues with it, we'd advise you taking it to your local computer repair shop. Thanks for watching.

I wish I could have an rgb keyboard on my cf-33
That's something that Panasonic needs to add on the next generation they make! Thanks for watching!
Good
Thanks for watching!
1:02 you didn’t show how it disconnected
That was a bad cut on our end. If your interested in seeing how it disconnects and operates as a tablet, check out this video ua-cam.com/video/YMqY5KgxG6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=OyEkIgHmD-iOEPVx&t=113 It should take you to the point in the video with Bob removing it from the keyboard. Thanks for watching.
@@Bobjohnson thank you 🙏
I love the CF-30 sealed body and passive cooling... Your comments on the CF-31 are making me consider selling my CF-31. Does the CF-40 have the same fan weakness? My CF-31 mouse pad has issues. What's involved in replacing it? Is there a better part that I should consider?
I wouldn't say that it has the same weakness but we would advise you to keep the fan in any laptop as clean as possible to avoid failures and optimize performance. For the mouse pad, we would recommend to just stick with OEM. If your still having issues, it could be a problem with your touch pad board and not the mousepad itself. We have a few options on our website if your interested in replacing them, here's the link: www.bobjohnson.com/toughbook-cf-31-parts/?_bc_fsnf=1&Part+Type=Mouse+%2F+Touch+Pad Hopefully this helps, thanks for watching.
Does this at all hamper the durability near the locking mechanism for the screen?
Not at all! Thanks for watching!

Hi How do i fix my usb ports they are not working, Help Please? cleaning? soldiering?
The ports are soldered on to the system board. If cleaning them doesn't work, you're going to need a new system board for your ports to work. Hopefully this helps, thanks for watching.
That kick stand is such garbage. There’s gotta be a better option for a keyboard dock.
For the Dell tablets, that's as good as it gets. Panasonic and Getac have a better solution with their CF-33 and k120. Thanks for watching!
I cant find the strap for the Battery on my MacBook :(
We do not have too much experience with MacBooks, but we know that some have the battery strap, and some do not. Our advice to you would be to take it to a local repair shop or Apple Outlet so that they can help you properly fix it. Hopefully this helps, thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!
Thaks, its work here.
Good to hear!
Is this simply the perfect laptop?
BTW, can one replace the chichlet keyboard it comes with the more classical looking standars one?
We think so!
No, sadly you only have three options; the standard keyboard, the backlit chiclet keyboard, and the backlit rubber keyboard. Thanks for watching!
@@Bobjohnson Aw I see. By the standard keyboard you mean the regular non backlit chiclet keyboard right? Can I replace the chiclet keyboard with one from a CF-30/19?
Is there a way to upgrade an HDD equipped rugged tablet? Asking for a new to tech friend.
You would upgrade it depending on the age of the laptop and which hard drives it can support. Thanks for watching.
wonder why this vid has sound for, at all :D
Thanks for watching!
I have an HP Envy TS Ultrabook 4T 1215xd from 2013 running Ubuntu Linux and am trying to collaborate my touch screen on startup. How can I tell if I have a Mark 1 or Mark 2 CF31? Is that just a Panasonic thing? I am visually impaired and use the touch screen for zooming in quite a lot. Any help you give is greatly appreciated.
The Marks are just referring to the different generations of CF-31 Toughbooks. And this video is specific to the CF-31. Hopefully this helps, thanks for watching.
I can't seem to ever find the extended battery ones because of the cover
We have one! Check out our CF-33s here! www.bobjohnson.com/toughbook-cf-33/ Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video thanks, Ive come across one but its slightly different to yours-white keyboard and running on windows 98, after stripping it all down and cleaning it everything in the Samsonite case works, the laptop (even has battery life left) and the Olivetti printer, a tough book is what it is! Finally good to see Private Cowboy from full metal jacket survived that gunshot in the Nam and went onto being a PC expert, good job my friend
That's cool! Thanks for watching!
Waiting for mine to be delivered...
We hope you enjoy it!
It’s good use in army 👍
I'd bet that it is! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the short and informative video bob. My question is; is it possible to upgrade the CPU and do you have any resources for compatible upgrades for the Dell latitude rugged series? I have a 5414 CPU with a i5 and want to upgrade to a I7 or 9. I've read conflicting articles and forms that say it is or isn't possible and I can't find any videos of people replacing the CPU and showing the laptop get to post I've also checked the Dell site itself but all the replacement parts they sell are basic parts.
With most of these rugged laptops, the CPU is soldered on to the system board. This makes it nearly impossible to change and we would recommended that it is not worth the risk. Hopefully, this answers your question, thanks for watching.
