How-to: 3G HSDPA to Gigabyte M912

Yes, my plan is to 3G enable all mobile computers..

Continue reading..



M912 has Express Card slot so you could use external card.. but it sticks out quite a bit.


The good news is that there is a slot for internal 3G modem.. but Gigabyte has disabled it.


After a bit of testing and research, we found out that taping the pin 20 on the modem enables the radio.


Novatel 3G card with SIM slot inside M219.. and working!

But there was still a problem. Now you could use the 3G but it was always on, which is a problem on flights and for battery life.


So we needed a on/off switch. If you solder wires and on/off switch to these pins, you can control the modem...

..but then a better idea hit us:

as you can control the wifi module from software and keyboard, why not tape the wifi modules pin 20, use it on the 3G slot and put the 3G card to wifi cards slot...

then use keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the 3G and wifi software to control the wifi... tested and working fine!


( if you dont want to tape the pin 20 and don't mind loosing varranty, you can cut the line between the solder points, like on the pcb picture )


Igor, the owner of this M912, is using the second wifi antenna on the 3G card and everything is working gooood...

Thanks again Igor, it was fun to remotely mod your computer ;) !



You can get the modem and the M912 from MobilX:

Gigabyte M912 convertible netbook review

Click to see the video

The lowlights.

Screen. Slightly washed out. Not as bright as other netbooks. Indoor use only. Suspected CCFL backlight.Takes a lot of power.

Battery life. Could have been better. In full-on tests last night we were seeing 2.5hours. In lighter tests today it’s averaging 3hours. Max 4hrs (wifi off, typing), Min 1.5hrs (video, full brightness, Wifi.)

Style. Once opened, its quite boring. The plastics look a bit cheap.
Keyboard. Slight flex. It won’t affect you’re typing but it just feels a bit cheap.

Weight. At 1340gm, its one of the heaviest netbooks and not a device I’d recommend for ultra mobile use.

Mouse buttons. Not easy to press. Problem slightly offset by the ability to tap and click and use the touchscreen. Mouse pad is good though.

When used hard in tablet mode there is a significant heat build-up.


The highlights.

The screen resolution is fantastic.

The disk speed is amazing

ExpressCard slot means easy 3G!

Easy access to disk and memory. (Takes 2GB - I tested it)

Quiet

Very cool (no heat) in laptop use

The price! Two years ago a similar device was 1600 Euros. Now its under 500.

NOTES:

The backlight on the 1024x600 version is LED This means way better battery life!

The keyboard is the same as on Eee PC 700/900/901, so you could swap it to your local Eee keyboard. Picture here.
