My panasonic cf-51 wont charge unless i wiggle the charge cord

If you have forgotten your bios password on your Panasonic Cf-51, there is no need to worry. There are a few simple steps that you can follow in order to reset the password and regain access to your computer.

First, locate the RTCRST jumper on the motherboard. This is usually located near the CMOS battery. Once you have located the jumper, remove it and then replace it in the opposite position. This will reset the bios password.

Next, locate the power button on the front of the computer. Once you have located the power button, press and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the power to the computer and will also clear the bios password.
I hope this helps!

reformatting the disk / restore computer back to company settings...is only the resolution for this...

To reinstall your operating system, you must have a CD drive in your multimedia pocket.

Note: CF-51 (Mk2) and CF-51 (Mk3) can also boot to an external Panasonic USB CD drive.

When the laptop is first powered on, the Panasonic name appears in white lettering with the phrase 'Press F2 to enter Setup' directly below it. When this phrase appears on the screen, immediately press F2 on your keyboard. Put the Panasonic recovery CD in your drive and use the arrow keys to move to the boot tab. Change the order of boot so the CD drive boots first. To do this, highlight the CD drive and press F6 until CD drive is the No. 1 listing. Press F10 to save your changes, exit and follow the instructions when your CD starts running.

Hi,

Listen carefully to the HDD bay of the CF-51, If the "Clicking" sound is coming from that area then it is possible that the hard drive is failing causing the whole laptop to freeze up.

If that is the case then you're looking at a new or replacement hard drive.

Go to this page and, if you haven't registered your notebook yet, do it. If you have, login to your account. Afterwards, you will be allowed to search for an WiFi driver there. If you find it, download and reinstall it. It should work, unless your hardware is faulty, of course.
Just my 2 cents... Carlos

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's services.

You can download the driver from the manufacturer's website. Go to site and search for your model number. The download is free of charge under support tab.

Please let me know if you have questions.

I hope I am not stating the obvious by suggesting Panasonic's website.

There's one on ebay right now ! check it out fast.
