I downloaded the service manual for the zv6000 and noticed where the wireless network adapter and bluetooth adapter are situated (under the keyboard). I was wondering if you can purchase these missing options and install them in the aftermarket.

For instance, with Apple you've got smalldog.com and pbfixit.com.

They're rather expensive though. Maybe a Google or Froogle search on the HP part numbers will turn up other vendors.

Ouch! Now I'm kicking myself for not getting those upgrades in the beginning.
