How to Troubleshoot a Toughbook CF 28

The Panasonic Toughbook CF 28 can be used in places a traditional laptop cannot --- such as construction yards and rock quarries --- due to the laptop's sturdy, magnesium alloy frame. These laptops typically run on the Windows operating system. When the Toughbook freezes or certain parts stop working, there are many ways to fix the problem.

Instructions

1. Check the AC adapter's power cable if the power indicator or battery indicator is not lighting up. If the adapter is plugged up, then make sure that the battery is secure on the underside of the Toughbook. If it is, turn the computer off, disconnect the battery and plug it back up.

2. Restore the Toughbook if it is running extremely slow. To access the setup utility, press the "F9" key in the "Setup Utility."

3. Turn the Toughbook off if the red light is on. The light is indicating that the battery is low. Recharge the Toughbook by plugging it to the AC adapter and plugging the adapter into a power outlet.

4. Rotate the power switch for 4 seconds if the Toughbook has frozen. This will turn the Toughbook off. Turn it back on by rotating the power switch.

5. Press the button with the Windows logo if you cannot control the cursor. This will restart it and give you the ability to use the cursor again.
