I have given up on viewsonic as they as the spares department in the UK are useless and everyone else refers me to the Viewsonic UK. I have spoken to the person claiming to be responsible for Parts in the UK and after several email and 2 phone calls where he fobbed me off by asking me to send him another email to remind him to look into getting them for me. I now feel like he has no interest in selling them to me. I am currently communicating with a seemingly helpful person at shuttle who says he is checking stock for me and hopefully will get back to me shortly.

JSJAR I am on the testing now. I will get back to you later.

i botched together a tester out of an old led torch some wire and a couple of sewing needles

it turns out i was right it wasn't port 4 it was port 1  (richardmlea can you confirm those points before anyone actually wires anything up to them)

It looks like the points i thought were sata are actually power and the one remaining pin i assume is equivalent to the yellow wire on the camera

i have just confirmed the usb data lines are correct (just wired up my 3g to them and it works as it should )
no idea what the others are there is not enough power in them to light up the modem so there not for that, they could be 1.8v for the sim not sure
