What do I need to get Bluetooth on my T40?

[Biker2679]

Hi all,

I have a T40, model 2373-19U that I would like to put Bluetooth in. I need to know if 1) this is possible with this particular model, and 2) if it is possible, what parts I need to make it happen. I see there are both cards and antennas for sale on Ebay, but I want to be sure I need both, and which one to get. Thanks.

my friend this has been already discussed on this forum....

search is your friend, but to answer your question:

1) YES, update to embedded controller 3.04 and BIOS 3.19 first

2) You need to get:
ThinkPad Integrated Bluetooth III with 56K Modem BMDC-2 FRU 91P7319
Bluetooth wireless antenna assembly FRU 13N5515

Yes, you can go to thinkwiki to see detail. I think you must buy 3 things (including BMDC, antenna and sticker plate)about upgrading bluetooth. Please see it for your model:

for my T43 I found it in retail website in Lenovo. Totally cost more than $80. Firstly I want to exchange retail, but failed, they haven't BMDC for exchange. And I must wait for 2-4 weeks.
You can buy it from:

But I can't find the above two FRU numbers. What number for antenna. Thanks!
