    Hello!

    Is there a website that will show you a pdf (or whatever) diagram of the motherboards?

    I bought an AR 520E and thought it had bluetooth capabilities... I know you can buy bluetooth modules online, but if this thing has a way for me to put a chip internally, I would prefer that. Thanks!!

    Motherboard diagrams are part of the technical service manual which Sony does not release to the public. Now, if a Sony ASC got their hands on it and posted it to the web.... You might google this. I really don't know if it would be out there or not.

    Just go with a bluetooth dongle. You probably void the warranty if you open the computer and it will involve soldering and ****

    usually laptop motherboard space are precious. except for those diy laptop, i doubt any manufacturer would reserve space for bluetooth expansion on their laptop

    you might want one of those next gen bluetooth dongle which are so short that they only protrude out of the usb port by about 8 mm, instead of sticking out like a sore tongue, and you can keep it inserted in the usb port permanently.

    here's one example:
