Adding Fingerprint Reader to X201 Tablet

#1 Post by Stadsport » Sat Mar 01, 2014 8:16 pm

I just picked up a X201 Tablet for a pretty good price, but I miss the fingerprint reader from my T400. Just looking on eBay, it appears to be integrated into the screen bezel. Would the connectors already exist, or is it going to require a lot more to add one?

I didn't get any replies to this, so I thought I would let whoever's searching for this in 10 years know that the cable is present on models without the fingerprint reader. I ordered an entire screen bezel from a model with a fingerprint reader (even though mine has the style screen with a breakaway "chin" at the bottom) and it swapped right out. Works perfectly.

Well, it took almost two years (not 10)...but I do appreciate both your question and your answer!
