    Just pulled the trigger on the nw9440 refurb...only thing it doesn't have is bluetooth. I'd really like to have this be internal instead of having to connect a usb...I know on the m90 I could just buy the card and install, but I haven't found that for the nw9440 ... anyone know where I can get this and how difficult it is to install?

    Thanks.

    Look for the service manual for your model at hp.com and it will show you how to replace and install parts.

    Will doing something like this void the warranty?

    Well, technically it does void your warrant. but if you have the experience and your are carefull enough you can take it apart with out breaking any thing. Then they will not notice that the computer was opened. I just recomend you to doit only if you feel confortable, if not don't do it.
