Anyone here have one of these tabs with working 3g? My Win10 OS is not picking up the onboard 3g and I can't seem to find the module name or drivers anywhere.
 
Did it show before? Then it should be an unknown device with yellow mark. 3G device can be disabled in BIOS or by a switch (flight mode), in such case device is not detected at all.

Is your built in 3G modem a RAS-type device (emulated COM ports)? If so, then don't hold our breath, Windows 10 has screwed up RAS interface drivers, most probably it won't work even if device is detected in Device Manager.

It did in 8.1, but not since migration to 10. Not sure what type of device it is either. I tried the flight mode fix, didn't work unfortunately. Nothing unknown or yellow showing up in device manager either.
 
I realize now that similar happened on Lenovo Thinkpad T500. Internal Bluetooth device was previously working on Windows 7, but since installing Windows 10 it disappeared. I noticed it only now after reading your post, maybe somebody else will shed more light.
 
Yip windows 10 didn't support the 3G module in my Lenovo X220 tablet, no drivers/win 10 support , wtf. Worked perfectly in Win 7

When my tablet used to work still (motherboard died and battery got swolen) - I went to ftp://ftp.proline.co.za/ProlineDrivers/TABLETS/A933L/Win10/ for all the drivers for Win10.

Goto the setup (press 'esc' when stating up the tablet) and check there. I remeber settings for the devices in there. I miss this tablet, but after they replaced the motherboard the first time it was faulty under warranty, it excatly lasted a year and just died and then after lying in a cupboard for a year or so after it died, I found it with the battery swolen (removed the faulty battery and disgarded it). I would love to pick one up second hand or pick up one that has a broken screen but board works, one day.. but I won't keep my hopes up.

Sorry @TrevorNaidoo. Your a bit late. They stopped making them/and supporting them (2016) and this was a year after I bought mine in 2015. Mine died just after they replaced the board, exactly a year after they replaced it, go figure. Since then, the battery just swelled up on day (it was never on charge as it was dead in anycase), chucked the battery but kept the device in hopes to one day get a fix for it, use parts of it if I every found another one. But alas, it got stolen last year when they broke into my home (they stole a dud, lol).

Unfortunately, I do not have drivers, etc for it. I see the ftp site of theirs don't work but they do list it on their website under support. Maybe throw them a mail to see if you get someone to see why their ftp doesn't work or has the drivers.
