    Hey guys,

    Recently bought NV58 thought it had bluetooth but, unfortunately it has the buttons for it not the adapter. I wanted to know where I can buy the internal bluetooth part? If anyone knows a site that has it available or what you recommend? I don't like to take up a USB port for bluetooth and I would like to use the FN/F6 key... I know it exist because on the Gateway website they advertise NV models with bluetooth. I called Gateway and they told me to call the retailer which is Tigerdirect and they cannot help. Please help!

    not sure about your model, but for the P series people get the adapter on e-bay, you might wonna look around there.

    If the nv58 has a pci-e slot then u could find a compatible pci-e bluetooth card that would work. I'm actually going to try to do the same for my nv52 which is similar. I will post something when I do.

    Sorry to resurrect this old thread. Does anyone have a part number for the internal bluetooth that comes on some of these models? Will adding a mini PCI-E bluetooth card work with the Fn+F6 combo key? I am looking to do this for my recently purchased NV5207. Thanks

    Any update? I have a similar model from Packard Bell and I'm interested too. I would buy a DELL Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini PCI-E...
