Please post a photo of the rear of the drive and post the exact model number of the drive. What is the model of the CF52 that the drive works in? I don't remember the exact model number but it was an older c2d p8600 cf-52 that I happen to have at the time. Both worked in the older one but neither i...

It's nothing in the bios that I can find. I haven't had to time/courage to rip into it yet. I'll post my findings once I do.

Ok, after a bunch of research, I've got wwan and GPS working. I've never messed with wwan so this was a learning experience. Here's what I had to do (it MAY help someone) This is for a CF-52 so YMMV with others -I installed the wwan card and put one wire on the "MAIN" and the other on &quo...

I bought a sierra wireless mc7700 (ATT 4g) Wwan modem for my cf-52vaaby1m. There are 2 wires for on the toughbook, but 3 "ports" on the card. (Main) (GPS) (Aux). Anybody know which wires go where? I assume the longer of the 2 goes to the longer to get to port (Main) but not sure about whic...

Awesome, thanks! That was actually the first one I pulled up. How hard was it to install?

Ok, I just bought an i5 version with a cracked screen, do I need a special one or will any wuxga cf-52 lcd work? The model is CF-52VAABY1M
Thanks, Justin
