    I'm planning on purchasing the internal bluetooth card for my M11x. I don't think the order comes with a screw, so does anyone know what size screw would fit in in the slot? I didn't think about measuring it when I last opened up my laptop. Unless the area where the bluetooth card already has a screw in it...

    Thanks in advance

    I believe that the Bluetooth module on the m11x is a slot just like mem that you can just pop-in. Anyway you can try looking for the service manual on Dell.com and you should be able to see these specifications.

    The bluetooth mod he has listed is correct, its a tiny little chip that plugs into the top of the motherboard.

    Any of the screws in the m11x will work to hold it in. You could use one of the screws that are under the battery to hold it in if you wanted.
