Gigabyte M912M Hardware Mod
I have upgraded my Netvertible M912M Gigabyte at a brisk 3G Draft-802.11n 128GB SSD and 2 GB of RAM.
As a new WLAN MiniPCI Express card is the Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN used, which on Linux works for me right out-of-the-box, and only two instead of Draft N really needs three antennas, so that the perfect old B / G only Atheros WLAN MiniPCI Express card can be replaced.
As GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/7, 2mbitHSDPA/GPS MiniPCI Express card, the Novatel EU850D is used, where I previously have the PIN scratched 20 contact and cut through, so that the pin 20 no longer in contact with the rest of the electronics on MiniPCI Express card, so that the EU850D MiniPCI Express card can work at all in the M912M thanks to a hardware lock. The overstickering of the pin 20 with a tape of course I have previously tried it. However, because the tape always slipped when inserted, so that the pin 20 then unfortunately had resumed contact. At the EU850D MiniPCI Express card otherwise hang two antennas, one outside the 6-cell 7800 mAh battery and an inside straight to the EU850D on the inside cover. served as the basis for the procedure these instructions from jkkmobile
As RAM is a 2 GB RAM DDR2-667 bar from Kingson used.
When is the Super Talent SSD Ultra Drive 128GB ME used, which is really fast, even faster than some of the 7200rpm hard drive in my desktop, even with random access read and write at.
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR is still available, and the ExpressCard34 slot is still free.
Update: I'm on the night of 17th May 2008 to 18 May 2008 as a number of 3G UMTS / HSDPA speed test run here and added screenshots. During the day I got on the day (17 May 2008) only a maximum of 500 kbit / s down and at night but then I got loose up to about 3.2 mbit / s down.
And here the photos and screenshots:
