    Hey guys, does anyone have a japanese CTO model
    Z11AFJ
    Z11AGJ
    Z11AVJ
    Z11AHJ
    Z11ZHJ
    Z12AFJ
    Z12AGJ
    Z12AVJ
    Z12AHJ

    or korean model:
    Z117GK
    Z116GK
    Z115GK
    Z128GK
    Z126GK

    I would need a part number of any of those because I want to order a WLAN Antenna for the Ultimate-N 6300 card. For further reference, see this thread. You find that model code number ( Product code in Link below) at the sticker at the bottom of the laptop, in BIOS screen or in VAIO Control Center: Sony eSupport - Electronics - Support Information

    Would be very appreciated if someone can help me out.

    TofuTurkey, thanks but the model number I am looking for is a 8 digit number beginning with 27, 28, 29 or 54. Its the first block in the serial (serial# actually is the second, 7 digit block).

    I want more antennas also, especially OEM ones that are designed to fit. If you find where to get this part please let me know.

    Yeah I am trying to get that through my local vaio competence center (vaio service facility). They said they try to get that antenna from Sony Japan or from foxconn directly. Lets see with what prices they come up first :p If I have the antenna, I will upgrade to a 3x3 card (Ultimate-N or one of the newer cards you had bad experience with) and replace my 128MB modded rock solid WNDR3700 with something faster.

    Can you order an extra one? I could send you some money via PayPal or whatever. Shouldn't cost too much to mail that tiny part to the states.
