Fingerprint reader question

#1 Post by pdudas » Fri Feb 18, 2005 7:21 am

I have a T42 without fingerprint reader (2373-JXG).

Is there a way (except to use PCMCIA) to install the IBM fingerprint reader to the keyboard bezel?
I got the answer from IBM, that change the bezel is not enough, because there is no connection on my motherboard to the fingerprint reader.

If I remember well (I had a T42 with fp reader 2373-F1G), there was no connector for the fingerprint reader on the MB, only the keyboard connector.

Do you think I can install a FP reader into my thinkpad?

Thanks in advance!

I believe that you can't, there is something extra on the motherboards of the newer thinkpads as IBM told you.
