New Thinkpad W530 order direct from Lenovo with integrated mobile will not connect to broadband

I purchased a W530 with integrated mobile and have been trying to connect with various networks to no avail. I have a Type 2436-CTO S/N xxxxxxx 13/08 and Windows 8 came installed when I received. I have upgraded BIOS and everything that Lenovo solutions says I need to update.  
The MEID is A1xxxxxxxxxxx. It came with an integrated Sierra Wireless MC8355-Gobi 3000 modem. I have downloaded an updated driver for Windows 8 for the MC8355. I have spoken with almost every Lenovo technical person as well as taken the computer to various network stores and so far no one can figure out why it won't connect to Verizon.
Verizon says I'm active and the computer error message says I am not active. Every tech has tried to look at the system by logging into my computer and no one can figure it out. The device manager says the MC8355 is working. Interesting when it was shipped to me it also had an AT&T sim card installed. After I had signed up with AT&T and one mo of paying for service they determined it would not work on their network. Finally someone told me to take the AT&T sim card out and it still will not connect.
Verizon tells me I do not need a sim card as I have the MC8355 but they can't tell me why I can't connect. Now I've paid for Verizon service for one month and still cannot connect. Everything else works fine with the W530. I've owned ThinkPads exclusively since the first one ever came out. I've never not been able to connect to mobile broadband with any others. I also went through about two weeks of trying to connect with Lenovo Mobile Access and that did not work because I'm running Windows 8. Finally a nice gentleman called me from LMA to tell me it will not work after all the time of connecting and being on the road. I could go back to an old ThinkPad to travel with but I'm determined to get my new one to connect. Any more advice or anything anyone can tell me try?

  • Subcircuit pins do not align with grid and will not connect

    I have two identical subcircuit symbols.  One is just fine, but the other has pins that do not align with the MS grid, and one that will not even connect.  MS12.0.0.
    This one is fine:
    This one pins are off grid.  The circled one will not connect.

    Hi,
    I have been experimenting a bit with this. One thing you can try is open the Symbol Editor, select the pin which is not connecting and then from the spreadsheet view, change the Shape to Zero-length Pin. Then try to see if you can connect the pin in the design. It will not appear as a line but you should still be able to connect to it.
    If this does not work, you can open a service request and we can try to see how to resolve the issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • My apple bluetooth keyboard is paired with laptop but will not connect.  mouse is working fine.

    apple bluetooth keyboard is paired but not connecting to laptop.  mouse works fine.

    i am finding it depends greatly on the batteries you put in
    I work for a company that produces batteries...ours work, other brands sometimes do not. if they are manufactured just a hair out of spec, they wont connect consistently...
    they must wobble cuasing flucuations
    same with the mouse...if you use a bit of blue tack, it holds the batteries in, problems solved
    the keyboard is a little different and I cant figure out a macguiver fix

  • Bluetooth will not connect to a new devicd

    I have a Bose stereo system with a blut tooth adapter. It connects to mly iphone via bluetooth but my Ipad with retna display will not connect to it.  Help...

    Yes they have reason to.
    To send a file or photo to or from a phone.
    Bluetooth does that on any other phone or device.
    No point in bluetooth even being in a phone if it cant be used wherever or with what devices i choose.
    May as well unistall it.
    Craziest thing i have ever heard " it won't connect becasue it has no reason to" it has a reason to send a photo to another device.
    I would not have bought these phones if i know that.
    Why isnt it in the specs?
    "Phone has bluetooth that will not connect because it has no reason to"
    What does it have that does not work becasue it has no reason to?

  • How to make a CD Jacket and print out Song order directly from playlist

    I was wondering if there was a way to make a CD Jacket with artwork from songs selected and also how to make a same size sheet to fit in the CD holder that has the exact song order and titles by printing out directly from your playlist.
    I am not sure I worded that right but hopefully you will know what I mean.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    There is a pretty basic CD insert that you can print from iTunes, if I remember correctly it will print whatever artwork is attached to the first song in the playlist.
    Open iTunes, highlight the playlist in question, go to File>Print and choose the CD Jewel Caser Insert radio button. Theres also a little Theme menu.
    However you can get much more flexibility from a dedicated CD Cover program. I use Cover Star, it's inexpensive and makes good quality CD booklets, back covers and disc overlays. It will generated artwork for you or you can drag your own picture files to it. You can download a trial version from this link: http://autostylus.com/coverstar.html. It's fully functional apart from printing so you can play around with it and save the inserts until you decide if it's for you. Purchasing a license then releases the final function and anything you saved previously can be printed off.

    To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Click the Photos tab.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
    If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
    Click Apply.
    To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
    Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
    Click Apply.

  • Brand New C309g will not connect wirelessly with ANY wireless security options enabled

    Printer will connect via wired ethernet. I can use the http utility.
    Printer will connect via unsecured wireless connection.
    Printer defaults to autoconfig (169.xxx)when connected  via WEP (both open and shared), will not connect with a manual IP address. Cannot access http utility.
    Printer won't even autoconfig when connected via WPA-Personal - instead says "No connection found."
    Printer is in the same uncluttered room as the router.
    ALL OTHER wireless network devices work fine and keep up with security changes.
    I have legacy devices on the network that make me want to run with WEP.
    I've run the HP Network Diagnostic. It can access my router just fine. It cannot find the printer.
    Router is D-Link DIR-655.
    I jump through the right hoops - refresh router, restore factory defaults on printer, etc. All other wireless network devices work fine.
    I want to pull an "Office Space" on this brand-new printer - please save me from doing so!
    -mooi
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ooops, my mistake.  Thanks for pointing it out.
    Another idea is to make sure the firmware is updated on the router.
    Also, from the control panel of the printer: Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test.  It will self-test the printer radio.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
