I forget it was an edge series, not sure if you can, for some reason I was
thinking it was a "normal" thinkpad, I am going to have to look this up, In
the HMM on page 77 it shows a ZIF connector for what I think is the
fingerprint reader and the touch pad, but there still should be a BIOS
option, that is what I would recommend.
