By the way the sim card is installed under tha battery, Would not the WWAN card be in that location on this model M505-S4945. Also, would you have a pic of the bluetooth module Part number H000010170.

Yes, it is a minipci connector like the wifi connector however the space between this connector and the hold downstuds for a card is 1/2 the space that is available for the wifi card that is installed. If it is for the WWAN card, then I need to talk to the store that sold it because someone removed the card and I paid for it I was going to activate WWAN later. By the way the sim card is installed under tha battery, Would not the WWAN card be in that location on this model M505-S4945. Also, would you have a pic of the bluetooth module Part number H000010170.? Thank you for your response.
