Hi All
I have a Thinkpad X220 Tablet; very nice, but I think it is not fitted with a WebCam. Neither linux nor Windows shows the device listed. It looks as though there is a glossy black sticker over the hole for the camera in the screen fascia.
What is likely to be needed if I were to try to fit a webcam to this - just the camera board? Camera + cable? or anything else?
Thanks a lot
Jon N

What's needed to fit a webcam to an X220 without one?

Grab a copy of the X220 Tablet Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM). It contains the parts listing and disassembly instructions. Click the "HMM" link just below this site's banner. From what I remember, the camera cable is the same one that connects to the LED indicators on the lid, so check the different cables FRUs to see if there's one that's specified "w/o camera" or something.
2. If you have an Intel 6300 WiFi you may have to remove the 3rd antenna on the lid to make way for the webcam.
