    I ordered a Dell Bluetooth mini card and it didn't come with any screws.

    Anyone know what type/size screw is needed to secure this?

    EDIT: Never mind, found out I need 3mm P1 Phillips screws.

    Hi,I'm sorry for posting on your thread but I just registered and can't figure out how to make new threads.I just put a Dell 370 module in a P-7811FX and I can't get it to see a device,I tried the dell driver that it came with because I couldn't find any others,I have an icon but it doesn't seem to work.Also is the function +6 still work to turn it on and off? Thank You Bob

    You must be logged as administrator to instal BTW driver.
    Right click on setup and run "As Administrator". This way
    it will install correctly.

    As to the antenna, unplug the wire from the "AUX" connector

    It all works,I ended up using the aux antenna from the wireless card and the driver that the bluetooth came with.I saw on E-bay for ten bucks a small bluetooth antenna that will fit in the card bay.Fn+f6 doesn't do anything though. Thank's for any help Bob

    Thank's for all the help,I ordered a small antenna from E-bay but for now I am using the aux from my wireless card and both modules work good.As far as the FN+F6 not working with this module I can live with instead of buying another one and taking the laptop all apart,Even though it would be real cool if it did work.
