    Hi all, I'm glad I found this place, this is great!

    Anyway, I currently have an HP Pavilion dv4-1435dx notebook that I got new two years ago from Best Buy. I'm very happy with it, so much, in fact, that I want to add a couple of things to it, if I can. I want to see if it's possible, and how difficult it might be.

    I want to add a GOBI WWAN card (and possibly an antenna, since there doesn't appear to be one), and a bluetooth module. I got the requisite parts off Dell (WWAN card) and eBay (bluetooth card) brand-new after researching which part numbers I would need by using the model's maintenance and service manual.

    I'm pretty handy with things like this, I have completely taken apart my Dell Mini 1012 to perform exactly this procedure and it's still working perfectly. I'm less familiar with the HP so any input people could give me would be appreciated!
