    Does anyone have a part number for the bluetooth module the A8Jm uses? Or any idea on where I can order it from? NCIX didn't offer it to me when I ordered it, and I use bluetooth frequently to sync my Palm and transfer files to my phone. I can use a USB module, but I'd prefer it to be an internal module.

    OK but be prepared. adding an internal bluetooth normaly means complete dismantling of the laptop. like taking the motherboard out and everything else. you could prob danny from canda sys he might sell u a module.it will also void your warranty.

    Yeap, I've seen the module, it's about the size of your index finger's thumbnail. It can not be found by opening the botton nor the keyboard, the laptop must be 'disensembled' to install it, Danny said. He said that its not worth it, but if the demand is there, then he may consider it.

    Well I'm considering it, but dunno if it's worth dismantling the PC for it....

    Its not. If you have alot of experience then its ok. But i have dismantled laptops and while im very good working with electronics. I would have to rate it difficult simply because its something you kinda have to do often to get the hang of it.
