T400 bluetooth upgrade question

#1 Post by r3solv3 » Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:43 pm

I checked Lenovo's website for a video on how to upgrade my T400 to have bluetooth and saw a video from a T400s, and there is a daughter card for it.
My question is, To give my T400 bluetooth, will all i need to install hardware wise be :

Or will I need a daughter card and ribbon cable also?

The T400 cables have MANY options. The cables for LED backlights are different from cables for CCFL backlights. After that, bluetooth and camera connections are separate options, but I don't think there is an option with a camera but without bluetooth. (If you have a camera, I think you will have a bluetooth connector) The safest thing is to check. Open the screen all the way. If you remove the left-hand 3 screws from the bottom of the LCD bezel, you can carefully pop up the left side of the bezel enough to see in there. Be careful with the wires at the left hinge. There are lots and if they are not put back correctly, the bezel won't go back correctly
