Need Help from a CF-29 expert

I recently bought a used CF-29 MK5 and when I got it it is missing the cover plate that is right above the battery cover. Is it just a cover plate or is there something supposed to be in there?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Van

 

That is the WWAN blank cover. The P/N info is below so you can order it from Heartland Services (913)-685-8855

DFGE0077ZA-0 WM COVER

 

Send me a pic of your exposed area to make sure its the cover I think it is... Just dismembered a few salvage units I am pretty I have one, I will mail it for free.

Peace

 

He can't PM... Just post it here on this thread.

 

If the unit is missing that piece...take a glance inside with battery in. If you see a connector above the battery (facing toward you)...and the unit has a wwan antenna in the lid corner.....the missing piece is a sled.
Put a blank cover from techtuff in there and don't worry about it.
Your complete model number would "tell the tale".

 

Thanks for the help guys. I will snap a picture tomorrow and post it. To answer your questions Sadlmkr, yes there is a connector above the battery facing out and it has the antenna in the corner. The complete model # is CF-29NTQGTBM. Is that where the wireless network card should be?
Thanks again,
Van

 

Yup. Western term.
N=Mk5 PentiumM 778 802.11a,b,g TPM
T=Touch
Q=80GB drive- 512 Ram
G=Floppy- Ethernet
T= " " " Edge(Cingular)
B=XPP COA I think.
M=North America
If you used a WWAN, what carrier would it be?
Any sled including my GPS mod would fit.
Sorry for the top of the head bit here...I'm cooking dinner.
Does the touchscreen work?

Jeff glad to help and welcome

No, that is where the Cingular Edge sled mounts. IOW, WWAN.

The wireless network card, Intel 802.11a+b+g, is accessed by removing the bottom of the case.

 

Thanks Glen,....he said wireless and I heard WWAN.

Preciate it.
