How to disable popup "SIM PIN Unlock Required"?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 18064 / 3 Years ago, mon, june 14, 2021, 4:48:41

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo W500 and this annoying popup keeps appearing on start up.

enter image description here

The text sais: "SIM PIN unlock required" and "The mobile broadband device 'Ericsson F3507g' requires a SIM PIN code before it can be used." (for search engines)

I do not plan on using this device and I just want to disable this popup.

I just had the same problem with my W520 on Ubuntu 14.04 (I don't want to use the device at all but I also don't want to add any special settings) and solved it by completely disabling mobile broadband:

Enter the BIOS

Navigate to Security -> I/O Port Access

Set Wireless WAN to Disabled

No more popups.
