Retrofit a T61 with a Fingerprint Reader?
Hello,
I recently acquired a couple T61's. I had a T400 with a fingerprint reader at my last job. Is it possible to retrofit one to my T61?
My model is 7661-E16.
Thanks for the input/help.

This should be possible - FRU: 42W3791 (and possibly 42W2470)

ok, now for the noob question.
What is the FRU and how do I find it on my machines?
Thanks

Re: Retrofit a T61 with a Fingerprint Reader?
No prob's - FRU = Field Replaceable Unit - Generally a circuit board, part or assembly that can be quickly and easily removed from a personal computer or other piece of electronic equipment, and replaced by the user or a technician without having to send the entire product or system to a repair facility.
Check out the ThinkPad® T61, R61, and R61i (14.1-inch widescreen) Hardware Maintenance Manual
This will help you to dismantle/assemble and show the parts list for your T61 >>> [url]http://download.lenovo....com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/42x3547_05.pdf[/url]
With regards to my previous post, I have given you the FRU part number of the Palmrest with FPR according to the Hardware Maintenance Manual above (See pages: 126 & 127)

I believe I may have the part you need, send me a PM if you're interested. Installation takes only about two minutes, just four screws and a cable and you're done. You can then download and install the drivers from lenovo's website.

TuuS - I was just going to suggest KamikazeKunze contact you to checkout if you have the relevant part -
