    I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-4707. It doesn't have bluetooth installed internally, but I was told by a Toshiba rep that it is "Bluetooth Ready", and I just needed to order the bluetooth module (P000458700) and install it.

    I can't find where the module is to be mounted to the motherboard OR the connector that the ribbon attaches (from the module to the motherboard).

    Has anyone on here done this install before??? If so, where did you place the bluetooth module. Any description would be helpful, but pics would be great!!!

    I am not sure how different your laptop is from the x205, but look at this pic from my x205 I wonder if it is the small pcb by the speakers on the top left corner of the picture:

    I wonder if that is the module. If not here is the link to my disassembly guide that shows the rest of the laptop but that one is the only one I think would be the bluetooth module.
