    The bluetooth port on the 1410's are enumerated backwards from every other Acer board connector?

    How did I find this? I have an AO531h with the same 5 pin port but enumerated correctly making it the only Acer model I have ever seen that has ground on 4 and power on 5 instead of having power on 1 and ground on 2 like every other Acer bluetooth port not matter how many pins.

    I'm guessing the 531 came first and since it was backwards some genius decided to label the later models with a 5 pin port backwards so the cables would be compatible. So really the 1410 port is backwards too and it's something modders who want to use a generic USB Bluetooth module should be aware of. I had no choice because no one sells cable for the 531 and the 1410 cable is too short
