Does a T41 2374-QM6 have a Bluetooth antenna?

If not what's involved in installing one?

Cheers,

Links are out of out of sequence, my apologies...

(2) Bluetooth installation post link;
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 26&start=0
Found it with search tool...entry; 'bluetooth installation' (USE search for all terms.)

(1) Link to IBM's site; system matrix;
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 46474.html
(Use system model matrix link; (Blue text, secound paragraph, above screen);
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-46472

Matrix says...
I don't see it listed...

Using personal computing support link (sys matrix, First paragraph) your number (2374-qm6) yields;

Note;
Under some conditions/(settings), the Fn+F5 key/screen will not show bluetooth...(Even when it IS installed)...

apparently it can be disabled elsewhere...

Fn+F5 only shows if you have bluetooth, not bluetooth antenna.

Don't know if your TP has an antenna but you can easily determine that by removing the palm rest, keyboard and modem daughter card. The antenna can be found on the left side of the TP toward the LCD, it's usually a white cable with BT on the label.
