Has anyone tried to upgrade Acer TravelMate 800 LCD to UXGA?

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried upgrading your TravelMate 800 laptop to a UXGA 1600x1200 screen. Since I was browsing over the service manual of the TravelMate 800, I happen to see this:



This made me really excited, and I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried it. I know for a fact that Acer doesn't sell UXGA screens, but if you happen to acquire one, one would hope that you can put it into your laptop, any thoughts?

to add to your questions about hidden features and all, what about the bluetooth function absent from the 800 series? There are buttons and lights, and possibly a header, and i know that adapters exist, but I havent found them, does anyone know where one could get the internal bluetooth for the 800 series?

Prince: Bluetooth was a feature only available in the upper range models, I believe starting with the 804LCi. 803LCi and below did not include Bluetooth, but since they shared the chassis with the other models, you can see the bluetooth controls. But as far as I know it can't be upgraded, either it comes with it or it doesn't.

I would think the same applies to the screen... although I would like to know if upgrading the screen at a later date is at all possible!

I think you can actually get a BT module coupled with the modem if you really wanted it. You can probably get them from your service center. As far as I know, if you want you can probably open your case and put it in yourself after you get the parts.
