    I recently bought a travelmate 4500, I'm in love with it(hey I got it today)!!

    But when i started the bluetooth device it said "no device" I figured that the notebook didn't come with one. I don't want to use a Usb adapter.

    How can I install my bluetooth internally?whats the part #? how much $$?
    [ :(]
    Ps. I'm not good on computer technical stuff(well at least I know a bit more than the regular user)

    any help will be useful.

    You can get an adapter to slot into your PCMCIA slot that all notebooks have and it'll be mostly hidden (althouth an antenna will stick out a bit). TDK makes these:

    These are kind of hard to find in the U.S. though, I found it on Amazon UK

    You'll have to use Google to find a retailer in the U.S.
