    I finally got the nerve to disassemble my laptop, twice. I wanted to upgrade my M-2626u with Bluetooth but couldn't find any disassembly instructions so after reading many of the posts on this forum for other models, I got enough info to take the leap.

    What I'm pretty sure is the Bluetooth socket (it's the only empty socket) is 1/2 inch wide. I'm trying to figure out what type of cable I'm going to need for the Broadcom BCM92045 module. How do I determine the number of pins on the socket? Is it the number of soldered points on the back of the socket? I'm a novice at this so please excuse my ignorance. Any who intalled the module on your P-78xx series recall if the Bluetooth socket was 1/2 inch wide? Looking at some of the pics on this forum, it appears to be larger than mine. My laptop is still disassembled right now. I'm posting this from my iPod touch. I would have posted some pics, but I don't have a camera and my phone took terrible pictures of the motherboard. Any help or advice about the cable needed would be greatly appreciated.
