X250 4G LTE WWAN card

#1 Post by TTA » Mon Mar 07, 2016 10:20 pm

This shows X240 and X260 but nothing for an X250, am I blind?
I'm looking for a Verizon card if it matters.
I've tried a FRU 04W3801 but I received an 1802 error.

According to their frubom list, you only have these 2 options on an X250:
04W3842 Wireless,WWAN,ERC,N5321 M.2
04X6014 Wireless,WWAN,SIE,7345 M.2

Or try this, (works in the X240 and other models): https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd028519

If that doesn't work...
With Lenovo's crappy attitude to force BIOS whitelists down your throat, you'll have a heck of a time removing that list... :evil:

Sierra Wireless EM7345 is the supported one. DO NOT use latest software package 2.16.10870.4434 GTWO44WW, it contains completely broken firmware. Lenovo is already notified about that but ignores it as usually.

Previous version 2.14.10830.4412 GTWO42WW is ok.

Thanks well I know for sure the EM7355 won't work. :D

S0 I picked up a T450 today and now I can't figure out what card that takes.
Lenovo is saying the T450s and T550 but no standard T450 What the heck?
