    I recently purchased the dv6tqe from HP (i7-2630QM, 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 6770M, 750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive, 1920 x 1080 display, Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN with Wireless Display Support) but failed to purchase the bluetooth capability. I am not interested in buying a usb bluetooth adapter. I would like the bluetooth to be integrated into my laptop.

    What is involved in installing the bluetooth into my dv6tqe? On the service manual there appears to be two options to install bluetooth: 1) a bluetooth model with cable or 2) WLAN / Bluetooth module.

    Option 1 requires the keyboard, Optical and HD drive, and top cover to come off whereas the option 2 requires only the service cover that is underneath the laptop to come out.

    Why are there two options? Which option is better (better bluetooth range)?
    Which module should I purchase? Where can I get this module? Do I need to do anything else with the bios?

    Also, is the dv6-6190us the same as a dv6tqe with similiar specs?
