Thinkpads Forum

Can I add a BT card (internal, not USB) to a X60 that didn't come with on installed? Thanks.

you can, but it would void your warranty. In addition, you would have to open up the screen cover and get new connector cabling to install the bluetooth card.

no, it wouldn't.   lenovo told us that it's possible to modify thinkpads outside of the normal CRU parts without voiding warranty (at lenovo's discretion).   unless GlobetrotterDoug fries his display or planar in the process of replacing the LCD cable and BT module, his warranty would remain fully intact.

Yes you can add bluetooth, but you will probably need to replace the LCD cable as well.

Could you explain this please?

since there's no way for lenovo to know if the BT module and LCD cable were installed by the end user or a certified lenovo service center, lenovo will not automatically void an entire warranty just because of this modification.   everything depends on the technician and whether or not they raise issue with the modification.
