    I've searched the net and these forums and can't find anything on installing the Bluetooth Module. The closest things I found was the disassembly guide for the HGL30/31 series notebooks. That's the only guide that made reference to the bluetooth module and how to take it out... but i'd like to make sure my bluetooth would even be in the same spot before i buy the module and take my laptop apart. I even checked intel's website, and while they had the manual and service guides, they didn't have any assembly/disassembly guides for the Hel-80.

    So if anyone out there either knows how to install the bluetooth module, or has a link to a guide or video showing how to either assemble or disassemble the Compal Hel-80 (with mention to the bluetooth required of course), please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Um... that's not the HEL-80.. name change or otherwise. The Wireless adapter is what goes next to the HDD. Anyone else have a clue as to where the BLUETOOTH Module goes on an HEL-80?!?

    Man.. even the people selling it don't have documentation on the subject. I'm getting desperate.

    The bluetooth module goes under the hdd on the Compal HEl80. In other words, take out the hdd and you will see a niche for the module.

    The PowerPro L 8:15 is a rebranded Compal HEL80.
    Take a look at the pictures

    i have the el80.. the piece youre looking for is a cord, with a special connector on it i believe.. mine isnt under my hard drive.. it got pushed up over my other PCI-E mini slot by the RAM.. so if its not under your HDD, look there, it could have gotten lost somewhere under the plastic in which case youd have to try fishing it out.. but if its really an hel80 you have.. its there somewhere

    Uhh, that is precisely the HEL80 and it shows exactly where the TV tuner and bluetooth card go, not the wireless.

    It clearly states that the tiny bluetooth card mounts UNDER the hard drive.

    My BT card even came with instructions with nice pictures. I'm getting the impression that you don't like to read instructions...
