    This is the cable that came with my bluetooth adapter. Does it look like the correct cable for the 7811 FX? I hate to break it down for nothing.

    All the ones I've seen had a white connector, is it 1.1cm wide?

    Probably not the right one then, in one of the BT threads someone said the .9cm is the wrong one the 1.1cm is the right one.

    I used to work a a Dell laptop tech and I know the hazards of repeated disassembly / assembly. I don't like opening them up unless I have too especially one I have no experience with.

    This one's not terrible, relatively well built if you take your time, but I know what you mean, they aren't designed to be disassembled and reassembled over and over. I need to take pictures when I redo mine but I have a step by step write up going, didn't run into anything too fragile doing it.

    If I ever get my hands on the right cable, I'll take some detailed pics of the breakdown.
    Thanks for the info.
