I have a T43 2687-D8U. I would like to add bluetooth to it. I have a few questions:
1. How do I find out if my machine has a bluetooth antenna already? Does anyone know the answer from knowing my machine type?
2. What card(s) (and antenna if needed) can I buy to install a bluetooth modem? Where can I buy these?
3. If I add a bluetooth modem, will this void my IBM warranty?
If it's not possible to add bluetooth to my T43, I'll just buy a dongle - which is the latest bluetooth version?
Thanks in advance.

IBM ThinkPad T43 2687 - Pentium M 750 1.86 GHz - 512 MB ATI X300 - 64 MB - 14.1" TFT SXGA+ - 60 GB - 5400 rpm - DVD¦RW
Here you go:
1. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitu ... tabook.pdf I have a 2687-D3U. Neither of our machines has native BT.
2. I believe you will need to install a BT daughter card, which requires removing the keyboard. There are resources on the Lenovo site to guide you through this procedure. Then install any required software and plug in the BT dongle.
You can purchase the cards and dongle at most computer superstores. Lenovo might also offer them online for purchase.
3. Latest BT version is 2.0.
