New CF-29 TB owner stopping in to say hi.
Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2013 1:00 am
Hi all,
I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I just picked up a CF-29 off of CL for work. I don't need a gaming system or a system that runs rings around others. I mostly use hyper terminal and light processing. Throw in excel and word and that's about it.
I have access to a CF-30 at work but I share it with 32 other techs. That makes it hard to personalize it to me. Anyway I paid $170 out the door for it and it guess I should have bargained a little harder lol.
I guess you get what you pay for, things looked fine and seemed to run fine but the DVD he had in it is from a hp. It doesn't quite fit so he put tape around the caddy to keep it together. Then the optic drive doesn't load CDs correctly.
The bottom of the TB has a coa for Xp but it has windows 7 I would rather have Xperia on it just so it runs smooth. Model number on the base is cf-29ctkgzdm but I need to check the bios to verify. The model number look like it may be tampered with.
Anyway I may be on here trying to get some info and parts lol. Once I verify the model my first step is finding recovery disk. I am pming with sadlemaker about an optic caddy.
Any way guys take care and thanks in advance for any help
