Mobile Internet - How to make it work? (X1 Carbon)

Hello all
so I got here a Carbon X1 with a 3G card.
However, after installing the latest driver from the lenovo website, the card is not listed in my hardware manager on Windows 8 and when clicking the Internet Access icon on the taskbar only the Wifi networks are shown.
Any help on this matter? Do I need additional software?
I have Windows 8 x64 and the SIM Card from Belgium.
Thanks!

ThomasVanhoutte,
Lenovo' the parts lookup service output isn't very informative (compare with this one http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/wlup), but as you see - 3g card is absent in your laptop.
In order to get 3g in your laptop you also should be sure your laptop is "wwan ready" i.e.has wwan antennas (unfortunately not all x1c laptops have that). Ask Lenovo' support or look at laptop invoice/order. But the best way - do it yourself. You should remove some details (screws and keyboard) and find out antenna wires, red and blue.
Look at X1C Service Training Course http://service.lenovo.partner-management.com/content/CourseWarePublic/14261/player.html and find out the sequence for access to 3g wwan card under FRU videos item. Do not forget unplug power cable and disable the battery in BIOS setup! All you need then remove sim card, 7 screws and keyboard bezel.
If you'll find wwan antennas be sure the wwan slot is half sized (as it is on training video) and just purchase 3g card. Presently X1C supports the only one half size 3g wwan card - Ericsson h5321w, FRU 60Y3297. You can purchase that in Lenovo' shop but the price is a bit expensive. So do it on another sites. Do not buy even the same card but with another part number. Another cards will not work in X1C.
I'll be surprised if your X1C will have new hw revision and wwan slot will be full size. In this case you'll have new choices for 3g wwan card selection.
Note according to Lenovo there are no Customer Replaceable Units (CRU) in X1C except for power supply. That means all manipulations I've described above should be done in service center only. As for me I don't understand why it is so in new line laptop models (to be exact I know but it's not for discussion here). So do it just carefully, do not destroy the parts of laptop and you'll not lose a warranty.

    How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
    As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
    It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

    Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
    #youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
    I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

  • Ipod Classic 120g - How to make it work again? Was formatted by windows.

    My ipod classic shows as "removable device" in the finder, but does not appear on itunes. The iPod was formatted as a mobile device on windows. How to make it work again?

    Hello soraiaSP
    Try putting your iPod classic into Disk Mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Then it should show up within iTunes to sync media across to it.

  • I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot use the software.. so you need to figure out where the problem is..
    But let me suggest.. the Mac is not the issue and likely the info from Sony is also up the creek.. they make PC's after all.
    It is far more likely the camera is having issues with the wireless network.
    Do you know you have a connection to the home network on the camera.. ?? You have an IP address and some internet or local access at least?
    How you will discover those things is by fiddling.. but if you can tell me what wireless AP you are using that will help.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

    I have the same problem.

    I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
    If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
    Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

    OS 10.6 is Snow Leopard, which does not support Air Play.  If you upgrade to OS 10.7 Mountain Lion (which is what you list in your category) then you may be able to use Air Play depending on the age of your computer.
