Hi

thank you for your query

The best place to look would be Ebay

I have had a look for you and there at present only full keyboard for sale, they are only approx $18 + the shipping

There are no single keys, but i would advise this is the best place as eventually somebody may advertise the key

I hope this helps

I would suggest you pull out your ram, hdd and dvd. Then put them back in with ram first. You should then find out if any of the devices you have taken out might have caused the fault.

Below is a link to Panasonic toughbook 48 series support. You will need to register an account to have availability to drivers for you notebook.

Thank You,

note its for CF47 but they are similar
As for not booting fully that could be a number of things, maybe you have tried these.......you have power so a reset might not help but still try it, remove battery and ac power hold power button down for 40 seconds. Try running also just on ac and then just on battery. Have you tried to run the machine in safe mode pressing F8 on boot. Even though it could be corrupt data or damaged HD worth trying the simple stuff.
hope helps a bit, get back to me if i can help at all

The Toughbook CF-48 has no built in wireless.

typically, there is a switch on the front or side of the computer, that must be flipped to on. sometimes you must you a function command. look at the "f" keys, on them will be faintly drawn pictures, you are looking for one that looks like an antenna or some lightning bolts. press and hold the "Fn" key, located at the bottom row of keys, then tap the antenna while still holding down the "Fn" key.

It could be possible if the hard drive isnt too far gone, are you able to use it at all? have you tried to hook it up to a different laptop and see if you can access it from that? You'll probably be better off getting a list of anything that you can re-download and storing the irreplaceable stuff such as sensitive documents onto a disk. If you can do this then just reformat the hard disk and get it over with. You stand to be in for quite a headache trying to copy all your files off your hard disk and making sure all the files arent corrupted. This stands especially true if your hard disk has malware or a virus.

Check your mains adapter plug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltage should be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that is printed on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.

If the adapter is OK then connect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/battery charging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's power socket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position this LED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a dry solder joint where it is connected to the motherboard.
This can be repaired but it requires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket and repair. I suggest you get a quote first.
