Bluetooth opgrade

[watermist]

Hi

I have a HP DV6000series notebook, very nice but it has no bluetooth
It comes with the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945, is it poosible to opgrade
it with some internal card or maybe replace the Intel card.

Hope you can help me.

According to HP's website the DV6000t has the option to come with: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network w/Bluetooth
So I don't see why you can't just buy that card and drop it into your laptop. There might be more to it and require some configurations and what-not to get it to work/setup but to be safe I would call up HP and ask them if it's just plug and play. Another option is a USB BT adapter, I picked mine up last year for $3 on ecost.com and they are small and simple.

I am not sure on HP, but my IBM T42 has that option also. The catch is if you have a bluetooth antenna installed already. SOme IBM Txx series did some didn't. It might be better to email HP support and see if it possible.

Of course, a BT dongle will work and you can move it from computer to computer.
