    ok. so i'm not sure if i HAVE a bluetooth device. i installed the widcomm bluetooth hardware, but if i try to use it, it says no local bluetooth device found. i can't uninstall the driver, or at least there is no uninstall option. what gives? i'm dumb. lol.

    the answer is NO, if you contact ZZF they will send you a usb dongle which i did, but i am not sure if i want a usb 1, i really wish its a built in type

    Even if it's FL90, it's the same design.
    It will fit with a bluetooth module.

    Sager only carries the full product line in terms of Compal notebook, but not the rest of resellers. So if you are able to get a bluetooth internal module, it's 100% from Sager or BIZCOM.

    The external one is cheap but more hassle to use (breakage may cause by accident).
    The internal one cost more but gives you the convenience, and it uses internal antenna.

    The bluetooth card is located above and to the right of the keyboard, correct? Just stick a small screwdriver under the bezel above the keyboard and lift it off to get at the slot?

    yes. look carefully where you put the screwdriver- there two holes where you can pry up the plate, one above esc and another above pause. i used a flashlight to check where i was poking around.

    believe it or not the plastic dental floss things they sell work great cut off the very end of them to get it up to the thicker part use 2 of them slide the first one in there that is not cut to list it up a bit then use the one you cut to the thicker area to lift it up
