I believe that my display module is flawed

On page 75 and page 76 of the Reference Manual
for the Panasonic Toughbook CF51 is described
the procedure to turn "on" the wireless lan:

1 Double-click on the taskbar.
2 Select your wireless LAN adapter and select [General].
3 Select [On] for [Switch radio].
4 Select [Networks] and select [Add].
5 Enter the profile name and network name (SSID), and then make
other necessary changes, then select [Next].
6 Make necessary changes and select [Finish].

Please note that there is no Physical Wireless Switch
on the Panasonic Toughbook CF51.

You can find the manual here and double-check yourself:

On all Panasonic Toughbook Notebooks,
you must get into the BIOS by pressing
the F2 Function key when you turn on the
Toughbook as it is booting. Press F2 repeatedly.
This must be done in the 1-2 seconds before
Windows starts to load. Then you will see
Touchscreen usually on the 2nd page with the
word "Enable". Simply select enable and press
"Enter" and the choice between enable and disable
will appear. Then select "Disable" with the cursor
and then press Enter. Finally you need to
"Save and Exit" the changes in the BIOS.
That is it. Good Luck to you.

Enter 'CF51' and (optionally) choose an Operating System, and do a search.

Load Ubuntu LiveCD and mount the windows HDD and save all personal files onto a DVD. And then reinstall windows. This will fix it. Thank you.

go to control panel, performance and maintence, hardware, device manager, pick your hardware, then select details, this will give you the driver id, cut and paste in google and search away.....

remove the bios battery for 10 minutes

sure...use F2 when you start it up, and make certain that drive is listed on the bios setup screen..and also is in proper boot sequence order..you may need to revise the bios to see that other drive..this is not always a simple matter

you HAVE a cosmos virus i got one recently basically your boned unless you wana pay out the ass to fix it when you'll eventually spend the amount of a new one and give up on it like me ............... i didnt have the same computer just the same problem
