    Dont you love when you answer you own question :p .

    Here is an install guide just in case you dont know how.

    http://powernotebooks.com/specs/PowerPro/l8-15inst.php

    ALso if the seller/store is out, check out one of the Compal resellers(check the FAQ for a list)...they should have the module aswell.

    So I got my bluetooth yesterday and installed it. Everything was fine and it was working, but today when I go into "My Bluetooth Places" and click bluetooth setup wizard it says "No Local Bluetooth device was detected"

    Any Ideas :-( ??

    How did you test it yesterday? Did you setup your cell phone BT to be detected and the laptop saw it?

    On the task bar check if your application is working on BT and WiFi?

    It doesn't show WiFi, strange. But it looks like BT is enable. Have you verified the profiles?

    Hi Raphazzz,

    You should have received my email by now. I checked our backlog, but I could only find the email you sent yesterday (Sunday), which is the one day we do not conduct any sales-related business :).

    Just in case my email misses you, we can only ship to US (including APO/FPO) addresses, so we will not be able to ship to you in Brazil. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
