Panasonic Toughbook CF-47 : Abrupt shutdown problem

Hi,

I have a Panasonic toughbook CF-47GY6GUCM with windows 2000 running on
it. I am facing abrupt shutdown problems, just switches off.

The shutdown happens randomly sometimes withing a minute before the
bios completes bootup and hands over to windows , sometimes after 20-30
mins with Windows running.

I got it serviced by a tech but the problem is still around :( .

I have a power supply which is not the original but a spare which I
bought off ebay. I got the power supply checked for its rated voltage
and current by another tech.

Please help.

Regards
DDE

Re: Panasonic Toughbook CF-47 : Abrupt shutdown problem

A very common cause of this is overheating of the CPU. The fix is a
cleaning of the CPU fan and heatsink.
