How to install bluetooth antenna?

#1 Post by CoolDragon » Sat May 14, 2005 1:30 pm

I have finally decided to buy the T43p 2668-C4U. The only problem is that it doesn't come with Bluetooth. So I am wondering how hard it will be to install the Bluetooth by myself?

I know the card installation is easy, but how about the antenna?

You most likely already have the bluetooth antenna installed. My T42 FVU also had the antenna preinstalled. In the slight chance that it did not come with a BT antenna do not be concerned. My X-40 did not come with a BT antenna. I was going to disassemble the LCD display and install it in the same way the factory would have done it. Pryor to undertaking that project I thought I would first try locating it under the keyboard. Much to my amazement it worked just as well, with the same range as my T42 that came with the BT antenna preinstalled in the LCD. Either way you will have no problem.

Unfortunately, 2668-C4U does not have the BT antenna, the 2669-C4U has it.

I think it is not a big issue, leave the antenna under the keyboard is not that bad. The only thing I need for BT should be very close to the computer, so no a problem.
