Thanks for the quick reply. Are there any guides to add bluetooth or upgrade to SXGA monitor. Is the fingerprint scanner compatible with the 1952-CTO?

No guides, use the T60 maintenance manual , Google, and this site for tips. The T60 1952 series did come with an optional fingerprint reader, so yes it can be added with the purchase of a new palmrest with fingerprint reader.
