Dell 7212: No rear POGO?
I have a Dell 7212. I bought a USB + Ethernet Port Replicator that attaches to the rear POGO Pins.
Well, when I went to attach it, I realized there were no rear POGO pins! I thought the black cover that is where the pins would be was just that, a cover. Turns out, there are no pins behind that.
So, I need to buy whatever part that is actually the pogo pins and whatever attaches it to the motherboard. Does anybody know what part I need?

We tried reaching you on a private message asking for the Service Tag number to ascertain the warranty but did not receive a response. Please feel free to reply to the private message whenever you are available.

It certainly does not have a warranty. I'm not trying to get anything covered under warranty. I'm trying to find the right part number so I can buy the part I need.

Yes, same question. My Pogo pins on the back are covered with a plastic cover. It does not want to pry off. Also out of warranty but there is no info in the getting started, owners manual, or I/O module manual. Help!

The rear cover is literally a plastic place holder to cover the hole.
To install the rear pogo, you'll need the module and a ribbon cable.
You'll also need to basically gut the whole tablet as the module sits behind the motherboard.
Here are the markings on my 7212:
Module:
IOM-POGO-L2
REV:2.0 (A00)
Ribbon Cable:
C_IOM_POGO_L2
REV:2.0 (A00)
P/N: 0800-0WC3E00
If you search the ribbon cable P/N you'll find images of what you want.
Getting the actual two parts is a bit difficult.
Goodluck
Edit:
According to here: https://central-parts.com/products/oem-dell-latitude-7202-rugged-tablet-docking-board-cable-thb02-p-n-u1210
It has P/N: U1210
