Thanks for the vids. I have purchased two computers (CF-19 and CF-53) from you over the past years. Additionally, you have changed my three toughbooks from Win 7 to Win 10. Couldn't be happier with your service. Thanks again. PS look at all those beautiful CF-31s on the shelf behind you! Nice.
thank you for replying to my comment, I really do appreciate this video and all of the other videos that you have been posting. You are doing a great job and I really appreciate all of your work!
A request. do you sell parts for the FZ-M1 ? I have two of them and love them but one of them has the bulk barcode scanner on the back. I would like to remove it and put the normal smooth cover on the back. Can I buy this from you? (and a few of the little black screws as well only have 4 of them)
Hi Nerys, unfortunately we do not (and this is not a service we offer). I would try Amazon or eBay for the part if you were set on replacing it yourself, but if you need extra help, our contact-Monica Kirby at Heartland Customer Solutions- can assist you as well. Her number is 913-685-8855. Hope this helps.
bonjour merci pour le tuto mais peut on réellement changer le ssd a tous les modèle FZ M1 ou il y a t'il des certain modèles plus délicats que d'autres par exemple peut on le changer sur ce modéle le FZ M1 D452YT3 ?
Hello there! I have 2 of these fz-m1 tablets, both the battery led keeps flashing red, and the hot swap function is not working, batteries inside look fine, do you know whats going on bob? Thank you

Not that I am aware of you would need to download the drivers that you need from panasonic's website. All that you will need is to reference the full model number of your toughpad.
Hi Bob, I have the same one but I wanted to increase it from 128 to 256 and the staff that supported me uploaded it to Windows 10. How can I recover the original state of the tablet since it doesn't work in the same way?
Im not sure exactly what you are asking. If you need to go back to windows 7 for example you would need to reload the tablet. If in fact you upgraded the hard drive then your restore partition is no longer available you would need to obtain a copy of windows 7 to reload you unit. I hope this helps a little. For more in-depth instructions use our tech support form: www.bobjohnson.com/tech-support-form/ Our techs can give further assistance.
Hi Bob, I purchased this device from a company online and it came with the barcode scanner. I would like to get rid of the barcode scanner and would like to know if you or Panasonic carry the flush back parts to this device. Also, would like to see a video of it being done. Thanks.
Hi Bob, I got fz-M1 that have bios password. As I understand, if I take the RTC battery out it will reset the bios to factory settings. Where I can find the RTC battery in the FZ-M1 ?? Thanks.
@@Bobjohnson Thank you for the replay. What is your recommendation in case the BIOS and Windows locked with unknow password ?? format the SDD (with other computer) ?? Thanks.
Hi Gents, Do you have any instructions for replacing WWAN cards in these machines? I cant seem to find any instructions online for this. Help would be appreciated :)
YES PLEASE. I put my sim card in but the tablet refuses to recognize that I even put the sim card in it. I would REALLY love to have cellular internet on my M1

Hi Sj, we do not have a video on the FZ-A1 because it comes equipped with a flash memory drive that cannot be upgraded (however, you can increase the memory capacity of your FZ-A1 by utilizing its microSDHC card slot)
@@sjl3137 I would give our partners at Heartland Customer Solutions a call. They are an official Panasonic reseller with access to new parts. Their number is 913-685-8855 and their website is heartlandsi.com.
you can download a "media creation tool" from microsoft. it will generate a USB Bootable installation drive for you (it works fine I just used it literally moments ago) you will also of course need all the M1 drivers as well. I installed windows 10. You may need to go into bios setup and "enable" USB BOOT. then you just pop in the usd drive and turn it on.

Hi Ludar Family, we don't recommend doing this simply because it is easy to possibly "brick" the motherboard.

The wireless card can be replaced; it requires fairly extensive disassembly of the tablet. I've done it before on FZ-G1s.
Good day.
Is it possible to purchase some spare parts for this tablet?
Which parts are you looking for?
@@Bobjohnson fz-wlnm111r for FZ-M1 (internal RJ-45 Lan Card option).
And probably the main problem is I'm from Russia...
Bob, is it possible to upgrade RAM on FZ-M1?
Unfortunately no
I need the screen fzm1

Yes. Max recommended RAM is 8GB (DDR3).
@@Bobjohnson can you make a video about the upgrade? Or at least give me me a hint where is the ram located?

How do you install a fresh os on the tough pad?
We used a network boot.
you can download a "media creation tool" from microsoft. it will generate a USB Bootable installation drive for you (it works fine I just used it literally moments ago) you will also of course need all the M1 drivers as well. I installed windows 10.
You may need to go into bios setup and "enable" USB BOOT. then you just pop in the usd drive and turn it on.
Where can you get drivers
