Hi folks,

Just bought a Panasonic CF-P1 toughbook handheld and the damn thing has turned up with German windows 2002 loaded.

Can anyone find a source for the Windows mobile 2002 or 2003 ROM image in English for me to upload to this lovely peice of kit - PLEASE !

There was a link in the archive section but it is no longer valid on the panasonic sites.... HELP !

Thanks folks :)

[Wolfman_UK]

Hi, This link no longer works, did you get the ROM ?
I have just bought a CF-P1 but it has German Windows mobile 2002 loaded, did you keep a copy at all ??
Ta !

The site appears to be down at the moment, but have you attempted to contact Panasonic Customer Service (http://www.panasonic.com/support/contact_us.asp) ?

[DonJ]

OOPS!!!

Did you buy it from Ebay?

You can find downloads from Panasonic/UK here:
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/customer-Support/download-centre.asp

Not really much help there for your particular problem tho.

Also, notice the links to Contact Panasonic via email. They might be able to help you out best.

[Wolfman_UK]

thanks folks, I have contacted panasonic and they have not responded yet...

any help on this one will be really appreciated :)

[NooNoo]

tried the ftp site direct? (ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/Drivers/)

[Wolfman_UK]

Have been to thier FTP - only usb cable drivers and wifi drivers available... still nothing from Panasonic.. :(

[NooNoo]

If you have proof of purchase, you could always ask them to resupply.

[Wolfman_UK]

I have proof of purchase - but item was via ebay - brand new but German... sigh !

[Wolfman_UK]

Damn, Panasonic have replied - yes they can reload the unit but its a service centre job at around £69 - as if thier profits arnt high enough ?

[DonJ]

Bummer.

But at least they replied and thanks for posting that.

btw, how much did you pay for it originally? Just curious.

[3fingersalute]

I have proof of purchase - but item was via ebay - brand new but German... sigh !
Was it listed as German when it was sold? - If not, maybe try to convince the seller into a refund.

[NooNoo]

Or simply phone Panasonic and ask them for an English licence?

[DonJ]

I have merged these two threads as they are discussing the same thing.

So, that is why things may seem out of sync.

[Wolfman_UK]

It was in the "fine print" but to get one of these brand new for £100 was a bargain, complete with the Panasonic barcode reader attachment :)

The only bummer is Panasonic being so "anal" and not allowing owners to reload thier own unit just to make cash for service...

[NooNoo]

Dann musst du Deutsch lernen!

Good idea, I debated that myself earlier on.

[Wolfman_UK]

Oohhhh, ICEX the company I bought it off are official Panasonic distributors and service, my 2 year warranty is fully valid and they are now trying on my behalf to get the ROM files... keep looking folks - we might get a result yet ;)

As for the Panasonic service team and thier prices.... :butt: :flame:

[NooNoo]

Yay! cross-fingers!

Welcome to Windrivers BalticDesign. You must contact either Panasonic or the company from whom you bought the unit as the previous posters have done.

[Wolfman_UK]

My CF-P1 is now back with ICEX, they will contact me on Monday with a progress report... (nice guys there !)

Finally got it back - reloaded with English... now if I could only upgrade to 2003se or Mobile 5..... ;)

[EIKA]

I have a P1 MK1 with factory loaded PPC Ver. 3.0.11171 (Build 11178) English.

Anybody know, how this ROM may be downloaded, I may do it & share it.

P.S.
And also... anybody know, in case with P1 MK1 upgrade to OS later than PPC Ver. 3.0.11171 is possible?

[Wolfman_UK]

Just checked the version of 2002 that they have loaded and that too is Ver. 3.0.11171

I will ask ICEX if they have utility software needed... :)

[EIKA]

Sorry if offtopic.

May be anybody face with a problem when P1 do full reset (aka hard reset) after ejecting & inserting main battery?

Anybody try replace backup battery (aka sub-battery) ?

Any comments please...
