Hi Everyone,
I am new to these forums yet I have had my Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 i7 for just over a year now.
I bought it without the integrated SIM option and now want to upgrade the hardware to enable the mobile network connectivity. I can get hold of the PCB off eBay and a WWAN card but i do not know which WWAN card is used in these machines. A serious scratch around the internet has yielded nothing. I also cannot ascertain as to whether the WWAN card has a built in SIM card reader, as I have seen some do have, or whether I need to source a separate SIM card reader, as some laptops do require. I am an advanced user, so please don't worry about my capapbilities in making the installation. I just need to know what the hardware is that I require. As it stands I know that I need the PCB that has the extra mini PCI-Express slot on the bottom as mine does not have this and I do have a source.
So to recap, which WWAN card is OEM on the N5110 and does that WWAN card have a SIM card slot built into it or is there a satellite SIM card reader?
Thanks for all the help and kind regards,
Dylan
