Well, i just got my x230 and i wanted to build a msata into the wwan slot, but there was already a wlan/wifi card inside !
of course my fault, guess i didnt saw that on the ordering website from lenovo, but:
-is there another way to put into a wlan card somewhere else ?
- if i put into the crucial m4 msata into the wwan slot the bios is not recognizing the card...what should i do ?
thanks !

Um, are you talking about the WLAN or WWAN slot? There should be 2 mini PCIe slots in there: the WLAN slot is for a wifi card, and the WWAN slot is for either a 3g/4g data card or a mSATA drive.

Better yet, download the Hardware Maintenance Manual at
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail. ... D=NDEX-HMM , which gives detailed, illustrated instructions on disassembly and locations of various parts.
