upgrade T60 with a camera

#1 Post by ukprometheus » Thu Apr 15, 2010 3:31 am

mywife asked me if she can have a webcam attached to her T60, now rather than getting her a usb camera does any of the thinkpad range have a compatible bezel with the built in canera that will fit.
long shot i know but i thought i would ask :)

Integrated cameras were not introduced until the Z6X and T61 series, so I believe the answer to your question is no, there is no direct swap in.

I'm with Harry.

The only bezel which theoretically might match would be the 15.4" wide T61, if your T60 is also 15.4". But I am not sure it is a close enough match.

14.1" 4:3 bezels probably would match, but no 4:3 T61 ever had a camera.

And besides, even if you could somehow hack the camera into the bezel, the board would not have the pins to connect it to.

Doesn't matter...no direct swap in exists.

The only models with webcam were the 14" wide-screen models.
