Samsung NC10 hack adds 3G to netbook

A hack and instructions on how to perform it, show users how to add 3G into their Samsung NC10. The downside to the hack however is that you use the WiFi. The WiFi adapter is switched for a 3G modem instead. The hack is very easy to perform though and WiFi can be replaced with a USB WiFi dongle, giving you the best of both worlds, espcially if you find you use both a lot.

The hardest part is taking the case off and opening it up. Once inside the WiFi adapter can be popped out and replaced with the 3G modem. Additional modification could also be made on the netbook, to allow easy SIM swapping by making a small hole in the bottom and soldering the 3G modem in, as jkkmobile have done to a Dell Mini 9. You can view the steps here.

    Hi all,

    I just bought my Samsung NC10 from a company in the UK called http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk and I’m hugely impressed, it’s a little slow compared to my Acer Core2Duo monster but it’s to be expected!! Just need to find a decent slipcase protector for it, but wholeheartedly would recommend these to anyone. I did have the Acer One before and it wasn’t built quite as well as this Samsung. The one I got already had a 3G modem built in, is there any benefit of doing this mod for me? I actually paid just a touch under £400 delivered so it wasn’t too bad. Only trouble isgetting signal from T-Mobile!!

    This is the one if anyone is interested
