I have dropped my Panasonic CF-27. Now when I switch on I get a message "Operating system not found". There is lot of commercial vehicle diagnostics on it, and no way of getting replacement software. Anyone out there got any ideas on getting the laptop back into service?

Isn't that a laptop? Anyway I reckon that you have have done one of two things:

1) Broken your Hard disk drive. (If the date is really important it can probably be recovered - at a price!

3) Dislodged some connectors. If you are skilled at laptop repair then download a manual from Panasonic and go from there or if you are not, take it to a repair shop.
