Question [Q]WTF is on the left side of external sd-slot?

The first time I´ve inserted my ext-sd in the slot I didn´t realised the little bigger (maybe 1.5cm) slot between the micro-sd slot.

There is a little sticker from ACER: "Warranty void if seal broken"
What the hell is under this sticker???

Anybody know without removing this and broke his warranty (why it is broken coz of this little slot??? is there the key for the nuclear bomb? )

System: GT-I9100 + own Kernel: GoaTrip 5.1.2 // JellyBean Stock LS8

That's just the slot for the SIM card on the A501 model. Universal case, y'know.

Don't put anything in there, it's just an empty socket. Your SIM will fall into the case if you try.

I thought they stopped using the big SIMs years ago? I've not seen one in 5+ years...

As for the sticker, you invalidate your warranty because.. you removed the sticker!

I guess it's because you could stick things in there and damage the tablet.

Not many are gonna risk their brand new £450 toy anywhere near a soldering iron.

Probably works like the mattress police, you take the tag off your mattress and they invade your home and arrest you... You remove the sticker, you void the warranty and the Acer police invade your home and arrest you....

Except the mattress tags say specifically "To be removed by Consumer only"

Universal Case
it's for the 501 model with wifi/3G

and there is no hardware hidden supporting the 3G feature on the 500 model
- do not open
- do not remove
- do not try

unless you got
soldering skills
mini-pcie slot
sim slot
etc... Waste of time... better buy a 3G model or just tether with a 3G phone easy less risky and pay only 1 fee

It was a thought anyway.
