This Mk3 was originally shipped with MS Vista (YUCK), do they offer a restore disk for a 30Mk3 for W7-64? The Part number for this machine is: CF-30KTPEQAM If so, would you please let me know so I can put a post of the B/S/T forum. The S/N would be no problem what so ever. I will be installing VM Wa...

Guys, Update on the W7-64 install on the 30Mk3.... I used all the W7-32 drivers that I downloaded from the official Panny site. All hot keys worked, except that when screen brightness was reduced using Function + F1, it would stay at the reduced brightness intil the cursor was moved then it when bac...

Shawn and safn1949, Thank you both for your time and replies; it is very much appreciated. @safn1949 I have downloaded all the TB30Mk3 Win7-32 drivers from the Panny driver site. Guess I will see what happens on Saturday. Heck the worst thing I can image would be that, if all else fails, I will star...

All, I placed the below post on the notebookreview forum yesterday afternoon, under an existing topic that was opened duscussing this; and you guessed it, no follow replies yet :-(((((.

Once again, I'm looking forward to making another really short drive out to Magnolia, TX, to pick one up.

All, Looking to purchase a shoulder carry strap for my 31. I would envision that it would be very similar to the one that I had, back in the day, on my 19Mk5. On the 31 chassis, it looks like the mounting holes/screws for the "D" rings are on the hinge end; unlike on the handle end of my o...

mklym & sadlmkr, Thank you both for your quick replies gentlemen, it is very much appreciated. With your replies, and after thinking about it..... I'm guessing that the hour meter reading is based on the bios not the OS. So the number of hours on a tb are based on how long the bios at a minimum ...

All, Good evening. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know it is a silly question..... If a TB is put to "sleep" or "hibernate", within Windoez, does the bios's hour meter continue to count? Thank you all for your time. Have a great evening and a good week. Respectfully, Nick

Jeff, Thanks again for everything sir. You are a superstar in my book and will keep you in mind if I need to obtain any additional rigs. http://toughbooktalk.com/posting.php?mode=edit&f=16&p=13981# Really looking forward to begin my adventure with the 30s. Have a great evening and weekend si...
