Thinkpads Forum

I'm trying to add the webcam to my T500. I'm wondering about the webcam part I purchased and need help tracking down the LCD bezel.

1) I purchased this webcam part from ebay.
The listing indicates PN 42T3633 but the HMM shows FRU 42T3634 for the webcam. I'm hoping this won't be a problem.

2) The LCD bezel on my T500 doesn't have the webcam cutout next to the Thinklight, so I will need a new bezel that does. The HMM only lists one FRU 43Y9735 labeled LCD cover kit. I'm not sure where to obtain the correct bezel for a reasonable price. I'll probably need the webcam cover part too.

I hope these two parts are all I'll need to install the webcam.

you may need a new cable as well....

If it helps, my T500 doesn't have a webcam and still has the correct cable for adding one. If you have Bluetooth on your T500, then I think it's a good bet you've got the camera as well, but I'm not 100% on that.

I just replaced the screen + bezel on my T400, and learned that it also has the cable with camera connector. I do have bluetooth, btw. I wish I had known, I would have bought a camera + bezel with the opening.
