    Does anyone know how to install a SIM card in the V13?

    I googled and apparently you need to remove the LED lights panel on top of the keyboard to access the SIM slot. Is there a simpler way to install the SIM card?

    Thanks in advance :)

    And is the AC charger 125V only or does it work internationally, 120v- 240v?

    You don't need to remove the LED lights panel. The following video gives you ideas how to upgrade RAM, and you can insert the SIM card at the same time.

    I used a T7200 on an old x61t Thinkpad for a couple days though running XP, the SU7300 runs Windows 7 lag free. Only Flash heavy sites/games will bog down the CPU. Runs considerably cooler than a T7200 though. :D

    vertex2 does not play well with rst 10.xxx
    You should try the last 9.x rst - there will be a noticeable difference.

    Guys, I have a request. Could anyone post their HWMonitor readout on the temperature? I would like to see he internal temperature of this laptop, particularly the stock harddrive. The primary reason I wanted to sell my A42Je is because the harddrive is roasting hot, peaking at 53C under load

    Anybody knows where I can buy the Dell Wireless 5540 HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini-Card online and can deliver to Brunei? Two months and I cant find any. Singapore selling a third party PROLINK Mini-Card. But its not compatible with the V13. My system wont boot in with the third party part.

    I thought the card compatible with V13 is the 5540? Did you get the 5620 separately? Have you tried the download from other model like the Latitude
    E4310? The driver is there.
