    Hi guys,

    I just bought a MX11 r3.

    In the uk there is no option to have the 3g module installed, but the sim card slot is still present- can i add one? and how do i go about doing this?. Alienware said they cant send me one but one may work anyway.

    cheers

    Shouldnt be an issue - I believe there is an open spot.

    I am going to tear apart my machine and replace the thermal paste - I'll take step by step pics.

    I'm nearly certain going by memory that there's a free spot open tho.
