We repair the Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 at our workshop in Bermondsey, from cracked screens and worn batteries to board faults and data recovery. The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 is a 2021 tablet PC with a 10.1-inch screen. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 repairs and upgrades
Touchscreen replacement
Glass, touch layer and display are one bonded 10.1-inch part. We replace it as a unit and test touch and pen input before it leaves.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
Battery replacement
The battery is glued in behind the display. Replacing it means opening the device, which we explain and price before starting. On a 2021 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.

Keyboard and trackpad repair
The detachable keyboard cover is a separate accessory. We test whether a typing fault is the cover or the connector on the tablet.
Charging port and power repair
We replace worn charging sockets and repair USB-C ports and charging circuits at component level. The adapter is tested first, because it is the cheapest thing to be wrong.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 uses a 2.5-inch SATA drive. Replacing a hard drive with an SSD is the biggest speed improvement available for a machine of this age.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Known issues with the Toughbook range
- Toughbooks are sealed against dust and water, and those seals need to go back correctly after a repair.
- Many are ex-fleet machines with BIOS passwords set; we ask for proof of ownership.
Data recovery from the Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2
The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G2 has a 2.5-inch drive that we remove and image on our own equipment. If the drive is clicking or was dropped, stop powering it on: each attempt can do more damage.
