So, after replacing my monitor 3 times I found my keyboard sticky so I decided to take the keyboard out and clean it out, what I found out was that when I took the computer apart was that the monitor had a seperate cable leading to the WWAN card section, and after looking at it more closely
I found that I had two sets of black and white cables one for wireless and 1 in the empty WWAN section. So does that mean that I could possible set up SIM use as long as I get a functioning chip? If anyone has experience with this or has done this please pm me as I'd like to ask a bit more questions such as how expensive would they be and if it would they work on any network(telus).

You lucky lucky basket! I dream of getting a replacement screen with a WWAN antenna in it. Guess it had to happen to someone given the throw of the dice.
While you're waiting for all those PMs to flood in, you may wish to have a look at:

. Now i only wonder if people have ever tried these cards with any Canadian or random networks that weren't mentioned on dells site. If it doesn't work on the Telus network I'm gonna be pissed for spending $50 on ebay. But since I'm installing the WWan card, I'm going to replace my WIFI card with the intel 6250, or 6200 advanced, to get a better reception.
I'll post pictures and steps on how I changed my cards if anyone wants a look see. If anyone has any experience with replacing either the WIFI or WWAN card please pm me, although it looks pretty straight forward I'd like to know any problems anyone has run into while replacing these cards.
