MC8785 always in airplane mode

[CTPAHHIK]

Hello,

I've recently bought MC8785 aircard. Plugged it into laptop and successfully installed drivers and AirCard Watcher.
However, I cannot get card out of airplane mode. It turns on for a few seconds and goes back to airplane mode.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I've got it from vk138168 too... Seems to me, that was a defective series of mc8785. If you find any reason, please, contact me in ICQ 243610060.

Update:
Did not get much help from seller, nor got anywhere on my own.
Last email was unanswered. My recommendation not to buy MC8785 at this point or at least avoid buying from vk138168.

Hope that helps
