Thinkpads Forum

Hi friends:

New to the forums here. What a great community this is.

I recently bought a T410S M/T 2912-W6H. Lenovo support could not tell me whether it included
GPS with the GOBI modem (I know it includes the GOBI 2000 9205) or touchscreen.

Can anyone tell me if this model includes GPS and touchscreen?


Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

ThinkPad T410s (2912-W6H)i5-540M(2.53GHz), 4GB RAM, 128GB Solid State Drive, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, 512MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100m, DVD, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, Fingerprint reader, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, Win7 Pro 32

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see either/or...

Thanks for that. Yeah, I couldn't find that model in the tabook. And I called Lenovo and they were just
totally ignorant/useless at trying to help. They hadn't even heard of the model.

I read on the Web that every Gobi 2000 model 9205 has GPS sensors, but this one, I don't know.
I managed to install the GPS drivers. Does the driver refuse to install if there are no GPS sensors, or
will it install anyways? I thought that might tell me for sure. Definitely no touchscreen, though.
darn.

Still love my Thinkpad, though. Without the preload bloat, it's pretty darned peppy.

Thanks again

If it is not in tabook, it is probably a custom build. You can find out the part number of the GOBI 2000 card. It is just sitting there to look at if you remove the memory cover (1 screw). It is probably 60Y3183, which has GPS functions.

Thanks for such a quick and helpful reply!

Well, looking at the WWAN card, I can see all sorts of identifying marks,
including (in no particular order)

Anatel 0412-09-0540
Gobi 2000

In Device Manager, the PnP Enumeration is:
usb\vid_05c6&pid_9205&mi_02

which is obviously a 9205. It seems there is more than one FRU for that.

Otherwise, on the side facing up, there is mostly just a whole lot of certification marks.
I guess the FRU is on the OTHER side? I really am nervous about prying that thing out, since I have
trouble with my hands. Anything else I can do? Will a hardware inventory program
like Everest ID the exact FRU? Or is it enough just to know it's a 9205?


Thanks

If you go here: http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/wlup
and enter your model and serial numbers, it should show you the parts that the system originally shipped with.
