    Hi!

    I order my with-out a bluetooth, didn't think about it, so now it's to late to get Dell to fix it. But I found out that you can order the chip for 20-30$, but you still need a cable to it, so I wonder, you that bought the e1505/6400, do you have a cable installed anyways?

    If you check the link below, if you look at that space where the chip should be, do you have a cable there?

    I have an E1505 without the bluetooth, and the cable is there to plug it in, you just need the module,

    also where can u get a $20-30 dell 350 bluetooth module? Ive seen it for $60 on Dell's site

    I've seen them brand new all over ebay for $20-30 when looking the other day. Glad to hear the cable's already in the bay because I was going to check that myself tonight.

    Its the same module for all the dell laptops, the dell 350 bluetooth module. only a few of the older ones use a different module, the 300 module.

    If you powerdown you lappy, can't you just watch also, so it's not like that on just every other laptop?

    Thought I was going to get this chip as fast as possible, but won't have the e1505 before the next friday as earliest, so don't wont to get a chip if it aint gonna need it =p
