Touchbook cf30 screen wont adjust - Panasonic CF30 Notebook

(CF30) - Reference plate detection voltage abnormality: The output
value of the color auto-toner sensor against the reference plate
is out of a specified range at the light amount correction during
an auto-toner adjustment or when a print job has finished.

Your color auto-toner sensor and reference plate are located under the input tray cover on the left side of the copier when you are facing it. It is on a bracket that hangs down into the copier and sits close to the revolver inside the machine. It is an optical sensor and if either it or the reference plate get stained with toner it will give you this error message, you may attempt to clean them with rubbing alcohol.

This error message may also occur if the solenoid that drives the reference plate is faulty so you will need to check that as well.

I would sincerely recommend that you get an authorized toshiba technician to take a look at the machine for you as this is a fairly difficult problem to fix right.

If the hard drive has been formatted it will not boot unless you install an operating system. If you had wanted to format and leave the disk able to boot the correct command is Format "Disk Letter":/S

I had a look on a few places that where selling recovery discs, i could only see cf29 discs, no cf30.
It may be worth giving it a go

There is a function key combination that turns on the back light, I believe it is Fn+F12. Hod down the FN key and press F12. The first press turns the backlight on full brightness and succesive presses dim it until it is turned off.

I'm sorry but I don't have my CF-30 in fromt of me at this time, it could be Fn+F10. There is a blue symbol on the correct key and I believe it looks like a light bulb.

If this doesn't work, you may need to have a hotkey driver installed.

When I touch the touch pad my screen display goes off. it comes on sometimes by itself or when touch pad is touched. I have connected the toughbook to an external dispaly and can work no problems. help
