Add fingerprint scanner to ProBook 4720s #WT236EA

‎03-27-2012 12:22 AM

Hi! I have ProBook 4720s #WT236EA which originally has no fingerprint scanner. This day I opened my laptop to clean the cooling system & found a plug on the motherboard which seemed to be a plug for biometric device.

 

My question is: can I have a fingerprint scanner on my #WT236EA if I install one with panel from #WK517EA or #WK516EA?

Hi,

According to a service manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02046514.pdf

You are going to need this:
