Thank you for your attempt, sir, but I did the basics before posting.
There is no "mobile broadband" icon in the either Airplane Mode or elsewhere in the settings. It does not even seem to show up in Device Manager.
I get Wireless, Bluetooth and NFC options, but no Mobile broadband.. There seem to be no separate option in Bios either.
Any other hints, or should I conclude this component to have been DoA?

Maybe they sent you the wrong device? Only one model has that.

There is no WWAN card shipped with the 7130... the functionality is for future tech (TM).
There are some threads (here and other forums) that discuss this -- the type of slot is only supported by only one WWAN card, sold by Lenovo for a lot of $$, so I think the delay is due to getting more of these cards on the market.
