AC7260 wifi/bluetooth card on Thinkpad X220

Easy card replacement

+ac7260 card +

I had previously upgraded the bios +on this machine so I could whitelist future hardware.

+

The new card was easy to install: remove the keyboard by unscrewing 2 screws under the RAM trapdoor

+

Carefully remove the keyboard by sliding it towards the screen to uncover the lower tabs and unplug it, +then remove the screws holding the palmrest and remove the palmrest carefully unplugging it.

+

The wifi card socket is on the right next to the M2 ssd socket

+

I removed pin 51 on the AC7620 with a dremel rather than using tape. Pin 51 is used to activate or deactivate certain card functions, +including Bluetooth, and can be problematic on certain thinkpads. I did the same for my T430.
