Fingerprint reader from T61p in a T520?
Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2016 11:14 am
Hi, there,
It appears that, on many Thinkpads, the fingerprint reader is sold as part of the palmrest. Since my T520 has a plastic slug where the fingerprint scanner goes, I'm wondering if I can pull the scanner sensor itself from another machine and install it in the T520 palmrest.
If so, I have a second question: Will a fingerprint scanner sensor from the keyboard of a T61p work in a T520?
I know it's a longshot, but I figured I'd ask.
Thanks.
