    Hello all, I've been lurking here for awhile & finally decided to register.
    Anyway, I have a zv6131 notebook. I would like to add bluetooth to it but, I don't want the hassle of a usb dongle type adapter. The bluetooth was an option I didn't get that i wish I had've gotten now. I have the maintinance & service guide from HP & it shows the bluetooth card is right under the keyboard cover & looks to be simple to replace. Just pull the cover & plug it in. HP tech says that i can't upgrade to the internal bluetooth. I don't remember the motherboards being different for just a bluetooth upgrade. I haven't felt froggy enough to pull the cover to see if the plug is actually there yet. If the plug is there, can't I just buy the board from HP & plug it in, & install drivers for it? Can anyone shed some light on this?

    thanks,
    Matt
