    I am not familiar with a CF-T8. look in the bios for options kit...
    If it's not there, you will probably need the spgobi2 file.
    I'll post a link.

    You need to open up the access panel at the top of LCD cover. Four screws to be unscrew. Two are behind the two tiny rubber bumper at the top of the LCD bezel. Another two are behind the sim card slot at the top of LID cover. Then when open it up there you can see the wwan board and there are two dip switches on it. Try 1 is at "on" position and 2 at "off" then look at the bios if the wwan is recognize. If not just do trial error on dip switches.

    Thanks for all the tips, the dip switches has been fiddled with with no result and the file didn't work so next thing i will do is extract the bios and trying my best not to create a big lump of useless metal and the answer i got from Panasonic yeah you can guess
