Lenovo S10 Internal WWAN 3G

#1 Post by koden » Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:34 pm

hello

I have got one of this S10.

I have read that it's possible to built in a Internal WWAN 3G sim card..
But where..?

If I turn it around i can unscrew a plate and come down to the wireless card (ithink).
But there is also a empty slot at same size as the wireless card slot.
Is this for 3G sim card?

Can't find any information in guide or at lenovo.com
I'm danish. Sorry for my sometimes bad english spelling and understanding.

maybe I have the answer...

I need a Expresscard 34 where I put my sim card in?

But what kind of Expresscard 34 fits in my S10 or S12 that I soon get... ?

Try searching for the Sierra Wireless 880/881E or the new Sierra Wireless AirCard's 501 or 503 (currently these seem to be quite rare though!) and also the Novatel Wireless Merlin Data Card Modems . However it maybe cost effective to buy an unlocked USB WWAN modem such as the Huawei E160/169 etc.

I have checked the IdeaPad S10's user guide (Pages 19 to 24), it does mention that some S10's do have a WWAN mini-PCIe slot located located on the bottom - but does not mention which Lenovo module is supported! - However there has been some success on a Philippines forum installing a Lenovo Ericsson F3507g.

Which ever device you choose to get you must make sure it supports your country's specific mobile telecoms system spec's (technology, frequencry band(s) etc).

Edit:
Just found the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the S10 - In the parts list section (Page 109) - The suggested WWAN module is the (Lenovo branded) Ericsson F3507g.
T60F: (Integrated Intel GPU) - [Another T60 FrankenPad!...Different approach]
R60F: (Integrated Intel GPU) - [ThinkPad R60 15.0" FrankenPad]
