Bluetooth 3.0 on M14x

Does anyone know if the bluetooth adapter is built in or is it an adapter/chip I can install myself within the M14x?

Also, if you do have one already installed, can you please provide me the Item # of the adapter from your order.

Thank You!

 

Its separate.. Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module.

Just says:

1 Internal Bluetooth 3.0

 

Dell provides an order sheet on the box of all alienware laptops they ship out with a summary of the contents.

If someone who received Bluetooth with their M14x can provide me the item number of the Bluetooth module i would appreciate it.

If there is no item # then forgive me and ignore the request

 

I have my packing slip at home, I will check it for you and report back

 

I'll beat DJ3xclusive if I get home first, buahaha

 

430-4097 Internal Bluetooth 3.0

 

Both tekabyte and DJ3xclusive got pwned by 2Gstyle lol

Thanks a lot guys! Ive been trying to order it but Dell couldn't find the item # -____-

 

Euro spec says 555-13552 Bluetooth : European Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Card
No idea if there is any difference in hardware

 

what can i say, i get out of work late

 

LOL

Looks like we were both beat! I just got a status update from Dell for my M14x for delivery for today! im sooooooo excited. I sent my first one when I started experiencing the shutdown and hope the fix comes soon

 

Bluetooth is an internal card. It's just above the opictal drive, if you pull the thing apart.

 

Yea i see where it goes , i just forgot to order it lol

 

Does anyone have a link so I can buy this for mine?

 

There is no link, you are just going to have to contact dell, tell them your service tag, and provide them with the item number so they can order it for you.

 

Can you point me wish is the driver i must download for the Bluetooth module, as i am having problems paring my headset devise with it and i cant not find the Bluetooth driver on dell website

No news? Can some one point us were exactly is the Bluetooth driver for the M14x?

 

It's under the Mouse/Keyboard section in teh driver list.

 

Thanks,
Here with the picture of the driver section you pointed me out, please tell me wish of all these drvers are the one that correspond to the Bluetooth driver?

As you seee non of them talk about Bluetooth!

 

Oops, I thought you were asking for the USB drivers.

For Bluetooth, they are included with Windows 7, but streaming audio does not work. I did some research and installed this driver:

http://rapidshare.com/files/265378263/BTW_6.2.0.9700.rar

Once installed, my bluetooth devices work, and now my bluetooth headphones can stream sound.

 

Its called the Dell 375 Wireless Bluetooth Module.

For some reason Dell has not put the driver files under the m14x (last time I checked). I ended up having to download it from another laptop driver page for Dell.

Also, if you want to purchase it separately, you can find it on ebay. Although I could only find the correct module, and not the correct cable for it.

Link to Alienware m14x part numbers:
M14x FAQ - Alienware Forum - Alienware Club - Dell Community

The part numbers you would likely need are:

974W9 Cable, Bluetooth

AND

G9M5X Bluetooth module, 375, Foxconn (Does not include cable) [OR] WJCJD Bluetooth Module, 375, Liteon (Does not include cable)

I would just order it through Dell to be safe. You could run into issues with cable length (as seen in the following link), and some of the modules on Ebay are for other Dell laptops.

Here is a link to how to remove/install it from the Alienware m14x service manual:

You are talking for those who did not orded the bluetooth module from dell right?

In my situation is not like this, I do have the bluetooth module who works, but it does not work for sound.

 

Thanks, so it is a real shame on Dell to provide us a laptop with out the drivers!

One more thing I discover yesterday, I went with my laptop to do some testings with diferent bluetooth devise, wish non of them worked!

Then I sow some nice usb speakers, and guess what ? It didnt work on my laptop !!!!!!!

I will like some of you make some test, usb speakers or headsets AS IT SEEMS WE ARE LEFT WITH OUT IT

Conspiracy & you all Thanks !!! I can confirm this is the right procedure It works!!

It's not Dell at all, it's Microsoft. If you do some research, you'll find that in Windows Vista Microsoft supplied A2DP capable Bluetooth drivers. Then in Win 7 they switched it to just standard BT drivers that don't support A2DP. So company's who manufacture devices for Windows had no need to include drivers, they were built in. When Microsoft pulled the rug, there are millions of devices on the market with no driver, now all of the sudden you need a driver.

 

The first post in the thread asked for this information. Shame it took until 2 pages of responses before they got the complete reply.

 

If you say so, to me there is a module that i paid for, and it should work!

I dont see why i have to go run on the web to find the solution, I know for sure my mothere will mever do so!


That is the reason why peapol like my mother prefaire buying a Mac lol

 

Yes indeed thanks for sharing

and now we are soon going to afront the second subject>> USB driver for sound devise

I know is not working since i tested!!!

Sheeers thanks dell

 

Million thanks U did it

 

is anyone having problems with their bluetooth not finding any devices at all?
