#1 Post by ZX12R » Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:05 am

Hi everyone.
I have a T410 Product ID: 2537hn2 . it does not have camera or bluetooth originally. Is it possible to buy the bluetooth and or camera and add it to my system. If yes what are the steps.
I found these on ebay

I'm not 100% sure about the specifics on the T410 but be prepared to get the webcam-specific LCD bezel, clear plates for the bottom of the system(the part that actually says 'T410') and the webcam area, and possibly an LCD cable that has the plugs for the bluetooth and webcam boards themselves.

From previous experience it's a little iffy which models have which cable; my T400 didn't have provisions for the webcam, but my T500 has a webcam plug and came with BT and my X200 has neither camera nor BT and has plugs for both... if any of that makes sense.

Just pull your existing bezel off and make sure you have the provisions for the camera and BT. If not, you'll have to pull your LCD panel off entirely and replace the cable; it's significantly more involved but not terribly difficult to do.
