    So I have the Dell tech at my house right now, and he's replacing my screen as I type this. The old screen had 4 cables coming out of it, 2 for WAN, one for display, and 1 for touch control??. The new screen has 5 cables, one which is the length of the WWAN cables, but ends in a pin connector.

    Has anyone else seen this? We routed it to the bottom next to the WAN card, and left it there.

    That's what I was thinking...that's the only thing missing, and there is a mini-slot where the cable actually reaches to next to the wifi card, so that's probably it.

    Thanks!
