    I've scoured the forums, ran searches, etc and from what I've read this or that module "should" work or this one "might" work.

    1) Is it possible to add an internal Bluetooth module to this lappy?

    2) If so...where would it go? I've looked at the disassembly thread on here and open my own case but could not find where the module/cable would plug into.

    If this has been answered my bad and please point me to the right thread. I don’t really have an issue in using a micro USB dongle but if I can put it internal I’d prefer that.

    I added the BT to my 50VT last month. Had to remove a lot to get to the location under right palm. There is two sided tape to hold down the BT card. I had to purchase the BT module from asusparts.eu. You will need the BT module and the M50 BT cable to complete the connection. If you are still interested, I do have a second BT module and cable that I bought as spare that I can part with...Let me know.

    I have a belkin bluetooth dongle I was gonna try, but it doesn't have a Vista 64 bit driver available, just 32 bit so I haven't installed it. Maybe I should give it a try?
