I have Mk3 CF-19 with the Gobi 1000 module installed in it, I have just installed a fresh install of XP Pro Tablet Edition on there and have installed the drivers for the device as I still have the original CD's from when it was new, I have installed these and the Tough Connect utility however I cant seem to get it to recognise that there is a SIM Card present, I am in the United Kingdom and know for a fact that this unit has been deployed to one of our members of staff out in the field for the past 3 years and he has been successfully using it with an Orange SIM card in there.

I wanted to get this working again as I have been given this device for personal use by work now, I also want to try and get the GPS enabled on it as I use Ordnance Survey 25k Explorer Maps for when I am Off-Roading in my car, I have heard rumours that Panasonic disabled this on the Gobi 1000 however on the Mk3 it is relatively simple to get working again, I have ensure that 1 and 2 are flicked to ON and 3 and 4 are flicked to OFF however I really am struggling and need some advice

Thanks in advance
Zac

Many thanks for the quick response
Would this one be OK even though it has come out of a Lenovo?

No guarantee on the Lenova card. I KNOW Fujitsu will work as I have had two of them in two CF-52, two or three CF-30, and ......wait for it..... a CF-29. The trick is...pay attention...the drivers and other software must match the card. NO MIX AND MATCH.
Do not expect to use Panasonic software. My CF-30 with Gobi 2000 on the sled thinks it is a Fujitsu.
The above was accidental. I bought two "Panasonic"cards from China, installed them, they didn't work....I then went into device manager and found the key number in properties. (In this case 9001)...did a search for that number and it came up Fujitsu. The rest is history.

Welcome to the soiree.

How about this one guys? It's only 30 mins from me so I might go and pick it up
