1) What is the FULL MK or Mark model # of your unit ?

Write down the full model # to order the RESTORE RECOVERY CD DVD discs. It will be like this...CF-19FJL32AM

Panasonic puts out several sub-models of each main model. So the first generation is considered MK1 or Mark 1. The next generation MK2 and so on. As you see below CF-18 models have 5 different MK sub-models for example. The outside cosmetics are identical or very close but the differences are on the internal hardware.

2) For CF-18 / CF-19 owners only. Do you have TABLET DIGITIZER or TOUCHSCREEN?
