Connector on T23 lid?

#1 Post by solidpro » Fri Nov 26, 2021 7:15 am

Hi

I was restoring a T23 yesterday and the lid is missing a piece of plastic. I've forgotten what these connectors on the lid are for, and couldn't find an answer in google. Does anyone know?

There's no P/N or FRU, but it's a cover for an Ultraport USB webcam.

Now I know it's an 'ultraport' I was able to google it!

Seems, not just webcams but also bluetooth adaptors and CF hubs can be attached to the top!
