Hi, sorry for the late update Driver issue is sorted, it was indeed the Alps Bluetooth module, installed the driver and device manager is happy. thank you MX Originally for the CF-18B (900mhz Pentium M) (Mk1) the rear serial port would have been used internally for the digitiser, hence why the port ...

Hi thank you! I'll install it and see if this fixes it. I replaced the screen in my unit with one from dead mobo CF-18 with a similar processor, the screen had a large thin green PCB on the back of the screen panel, it had an additional PCB which fits into the plastic moulding that holds the backlig...

Awesome, I will have a look into this, I think my unit used the digitiser but when I replaced the screen I installed the PCB type one.

TY

ahh Fab thank you, I think I have that driver somewhere, I'll try and dig it up. I've merged two different CF-18's together, the mobo is from CF-18BDAZXMM Added a better wifi card Intel PROWireless 2915ABG LAN extra 512mb of ram, cant recall the speed I've added a Bluetooth module from another Tough...

yea I have checked the ribbon cable, sadly no change. The original PCB is only missing the port itself which is a passive component, hence why I was thinking it would need to be pointed at somewhere in the software passably at a bios level. might just be a registry issue in windows that needs to be ...

Hi I've done something similar, the PCB that has the DC Barrel jack and VGA port on my CF-18 noticeably had pads for a serial port, using spare parts from another dead cf-18 that had the serial port populated I installed it, both boards appear to be identical in footprint. and sadly no luck, I think...

GREAT This appears to have fixed most of the issues in device manager, one remaining, shows up as UGX and in its properties details its device instance id is "USB\VID_044&PID_3001\5&BAD87DD&0&2" Guessing this is a USB driver, I'll Try a few generic ones and see if it works....

Hi mklym thank you, I had given up on internet archive as much of the files were missing but I managed to get a few that I didn't have, I'll install these and see if that resolves all the driver issues and what supporting software it has. I'll download everyone there and sort them out. Many thanks Leo

Hi I Know this page has been dead for a little while. I've been collecting some older Toughbook models to fix up and hope to post on this forum about. I have a cf-18 mk1 the 900Mhz model, I've made some upgrades ram and Wi-Fi (have drivers for this), I have been able to find a mix of drivers online ...

well, still looking for it If any one has the v1.000L14 BIOS version or superior but don't know how to make a dump (it is very easy) contact me please. HI I have recently gotten health model of the CH-H!, its currently bios password locked and I'm looking how to reset it, I may need to dump the bio...
