Tough book won't turn on hdd light flashes - Panasonic TOUGHBOOK CF-18 Tablet PC

Hi Barbara, The link below is a youtube video showing you how to fix your tablet....CHEERS..

How To fix any Android Phone Tablet that won turn on

that normally means there is fault with either the battery or the charger

i think this has somthing to do with the kindle settings in the app. check those and check power settings of your tab it might dim to save power when bettery is on so check and change that. also i believe if you double tap the bottom right corner it brings up the kindle brightness controller.

this happened to me, it needs charging make sure the lead has the blackberry symbol facing up....

Hi

Go to the phone book click the option and select the sim contact. you get your sim contact.

If the USB board is still functioning, you can get a PCIMCIA to USB adaptor (or similar) which will allow you to run usb devices from the card

Yes it is VERY likely the harddrive that is damaged given the symptoms that you are reporting, most especially if the drive was in use when the drop occurred or if it was onto a hard surface. I recommend just purchasing a new 2.5" 320gb sata drive off of ebay (asking to make sure it is compatible with your system) as they only cost $65, and self disassembling. Instructions for disassembly can be found here:

otherwise you can take the computer into a shop and pay them to fix it.

This happened to me. The computer will not work with the battery in it.
Solution: Take battery out and plug in without battery... It should work,
You will need to get a new battery
