    Guess i need to learn to open a book and read. :D

    On pg. 134 & 5, the xps m1530 manual tells you how to remove the front panel above the keyboard. pg. 149 & 50 shows you how to remove and replace the bluetooth chip.

    Can this chip be ordered after you have received your computer? I forget to order it in my original config I just purchased.

    I took the bluetooth adaptor out of my old(er) D620 and put it in my 1420. worked like a charm, didn't even ask to install drivers.
