    I was looking in the service guide and at no time was it mentioned that the SW5-111 model supports a ssd m2 2280. Ideally, you should take the sw5-111 apart:

    Yeah, it's old enough that it has the mSATA card instead, no room for a 2.5" drive except in the keyboard.

    I got the tablet portion of my SW5-111 open, and have attached a high-res photo.
    I don't see anything in here that looks like an mSATA card. Is this thing not upgradeable after all?

    Does this model have an offboard wlan?

    I can't tell, but the white and black wires anchored to the main circuit board about 1/3 of the way from the left on the top of the board look like wifi and bluetooth antennae to me...
  • ACE Posts: 98,293 Trailblazer
    It is a wlan soldered on the motherboard. Is there a slot available on the other side of the main board?

    I guess I'd have to remove the main board to determine that. Is there reference material that suggests at least some of these models have a slot on the reverse side?

    Many thanks. If I read this correctly, the only connector on the reverse side is "EC Debug." Any idea what that means?
  • ACE Posts: 36,341 Trailblazer
    I see where the confusion came in. The original post is for a SW5-171 model, not a SW5-111. They are very different inside...

    @billsey Yes, they are different models. Unfortunately the SW5-111 model has no hardware upgrade option.
