X31 upgraded with bluetooth daughter card - LED query
I've just swapped out the modem daughter board in my X31 for a bluetooth version.
When bluetooth is on you can just about see the Bluetooth LED through the panel beneath the screen. Here's a photo:

Any idea if I can get an X31 pane (or a blank one, or one from another model ThinkPad) that will have a gap for the bluetooth LED?
Cheers,
matt

I was searching for "x31 panel", so thanks for letting me know it's called a "plate"
I should have searched for "x31 led"!

You could also mod it with a small drill bit and a touch of plexi ...matt! wrote:I was searching for "x31 panel", so thanks for letting me know it's called a "plate"

I bought the replacement plate for £5-or-so on eBay
