Add internal bluetooth adapter to HP Pavillion dv7-4285dx?

Hello, I have a  HP Pavillion dv7-4285dx and was wondering if it would be possible to make my notebook bluetooth capable and if so, what adapter(s) are compatible? I've been able to add adapters to other notebooks (mainly Dell) and during surching for a repair guide and my preliminaly dismantle, I found a couple empty connector plugs so maybe one of  those might be it. The guides I found weren't clear as to a module for my model. I was also trying to find out the model a step up from mine that would have the adapter already in it, but no luck. Any one out there able to help me out? I'd like to continue using my bluetooth mouse and headset.
This question was solved.

That's one of the guides I thought would help but on p.87, it talks about model dv7-40XX using the 537921-001. Am I looking on the wrong page? When I tried talking with HP they kept giving me the run around and wouldn't even tell me if it was possible to add bluetooth to it.
Don't worry about it. Have a look at the page 1 and "Product Description". It says Dv7-4000 through Dv7-4299. This is why it says on the page 87 Dv7-40XX because it was meant for all the Dv7-4XXX laptops mentioned in the Product Description. I guess that all Intel laptops from the series use the same motherboard so the necessary slot for the bluetooth module should be there..

  • Add internal bluetooth module for Probook 5310m, cannot receive files

    Hi, I tried to add internal bluetooth module for my probook 5310m, which should be very similar to 4311s and 5320m.
    I did installed the module and cable by following the maintenance guide, but there is something wrong about the driver so I cannot receive files through bluetooth from either my smartphone or my another laptop. My phone showed " The transfer is forbidden by the target device( which means 5310m)". 
    The bluetooth module I got is Broadcom 2070 bluetooth 3.0. My operation system is windows 7 ultimate 32. I tried driver package sp52773 and some earlier version but none of them works. I even let windows update drivers by itself, it still did not work. The only good part is my bluetooth headphone works perfectly and I can sent stuff out from my 5310m. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I really want to fix this since I use bluetooth a lot. I will really appreciate your help.
    Thank you again.

    I found a way to fix this problem. I install the bluesoleil software and everything works fine finally. Thank god.

    I have Satellite A500-011 PSAR0C-01100D, I'm looking for an internal Bluetooth PCI adapter that slides in, on the side of the laptop into the pci card slot. without opening the computer)
    Can someone help me find the part number ?
    I remember seeing it in the toshiba site,a while back, but not there anymore, can't find it. I would like to order one.
    i have an external USB Bluetooth adapter but it's a bit flaky and it sticks out and gets caught in the bag etc.
    There is a internal module available but I don't want to open up the case and damage it.

    *Replacing Wireless Card with WiFi & BT Combination Card.*
    Hopefully it will be compatible with the computer. Make sure that it is half PCI-e size.
    Example of what it should look like: http://www.compactpci-systems.com/products/id/?45200
    First, the laptop should be placed bottom side up to expose the doors.
    The centre most door that uses one screw to open should be the one to open.
    When open, you should see the RAM exposed.
    In addition to this, there is the wireless modem card.
    Unscrew two 2.5x3 screws that secure the card.
    Remove from the slot.
    Take the Wireless WiFi & BT combination card, and slip it into the slot.
    Secure with the two screws.
    Close the lid, and secure with screw.
    Install any necessary software and drivers. . .
    *For dedicated BT:*
    For A500 models, you need a version 2.1 + EDR (antenna on mobile type) model for bluetooth.
    This would involve removing the keyboard and acccessing the top of the motherboard; a more intriciate process.

  • Add internal bluetooth module to dv4-2155dx, possible?

    Just got a dv4-2155dx to replace my dv4-1435dx, since I like this notebook.  It doesn't come with bluetooth, however, so I was wondering if I can add it myself.  I got the part from HP Parts, but just wanted to know if anyone knows if there's even a space on the motherboard for this module, as I'm aware it might not have it.
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    Yes there should be.  You need both the module and cable.
    See Chapter 3 page 3-8, item #17 of the service manual.  There are two cables depending on whether you have UMA (shared system memory) or discrete graphics on your model.
    Below is the link to the service manual. Please read chapter 4, preliminary procedures.
    Then read chapter 4, page 4-42 and if you have the stomach for it, you will find the procedures to install the bluetooth module.

  • NB200 internal Bluetooth adapter company Toshiba

    Who can tell what you should use the driver in Ubuntu 9.04 to make the running internal adapter Bluetooth?

    There, I have searched, but without success :(
    There are examples (http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/1842/) of the inclusion of Bluetooth to other Toshiba, but my laptop is not suitable. I could make a change, but I do not know how to do it.
    Then I decided to try through the "toshset". For this sub-module kernel. Once again failure:
    # toshset
    This machine does not appear to have a Toshiba BIOS.
    mashine id: 176
    Don't expect this program to do anything useful!!
    toshset: this computer is not supported

  • Can I add internal bluetooth, WiFi to September 2007 Mac Pro?

    I have a Quad Core 2.66 GHz Mac Pro purchased in September 2007, and it didn't come with Bluetooth or WiFi built in. I would like to add both, but I would prefer not to use USB dongles. Aside from already having enough USB crap to plug in, I want my bluetooth and WiFi devices to be available while booting, especially bluetooth, as I want to get a Magic Mouse and a wireless Apple Keyboard.
    I've tried searching the forums and Apple's online store, but I haven't found anything. I've been told that retail stores may be able to sell me a bluetooth module, but it's a PITA to install.
    Can you folks offer any more advice? Can I look at something like a PCI card, or is it possible to get these parts from Apple and install them myself? I have AppleCare for another year or so, for what that's worth.
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, you still can. However, if you are looking for the part to install yourself I don't believe its a user installable part. But here is what it looks like:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Bluetooth-Card-Module-for-iMac-and-MacPro-A1115W0QQitemZ130313469943QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain0?hash=item1e5749bff7
    Here is another: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=220498181165&Category=44999&_ trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2
    But, at this point, you can easily get a bluetooth 2.1 usb adapter and wouldn't have to pay Apple to install it. Only the 2008/2009 mac pros come with the bluetooth module already.

  • Can we add internal bluetooth to our MacPro 1.1?

    We have a Mac Pro 1,1, purchased in mid 2006 (not sure if it's a 2005 model), Dual Core, 2 GHz, running 10.6.8 but thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    After recently purchasing a wireless mouse, I discovered we do NOT have bluetooth installed, though we DO have the AirPort card installed. I've researched online, and am under the impression that this can be added? I've seen external dongles, and internal cards. My ideal would be to install an internal card (I'm assuming we have the internal antenna).
    I've seen referenced that if you do it yourself you can void warranties, and should have it installed at an Apple store. When I called the local Apple store to ask if this was true, that bloke told me flat out that you cannot install one, that it had to have been installed when you purchased the model (which seems incorrect, as I've found numerous examples online of folks putting them in, and have opened up my mac to see the very spot where the card could go, as well as the cord to connect to the board. I'm thinking he may have been more of a sales rep as he immediately followed up with how desperately ancient my 6-year-old MacPro is and that I should consider replacing it, even though it's in perfect working order.)
    Can anyone clear this up for me? It seems like the process should be straightforward. If you could include which model of bluetooth option we should look for, that would be appreciated, as well as installation instructions.
    Thanks!

  • Windows 7 Error Code 43 on Macbook Pro internal Bluetooth Adapter

    This adapter works...sometimes, and lately mostly it just gives error code 43 (device reports an error) - but it works fine in Mac Os mode. Any ideas?

    That is relative with some memory conflict between drivers.
    If you have got this trouble after any Windows 7 driver update, remove that driver. and, reboot

    Hi adam,
    I'm running 64bit Arch on a Studio 1557 with an integrated usb bluetooth adapter (BCM2046).
    In 2011 I had the very same problem you describe and got it fixed. Let me explain:
    The bluetooth adapter has 2 modes of operation: HID mode and HCI mode.
    In HID mode, it presents itself as a keyboard/mouse input device (in your case 413c:815[8/7]).
    This allows you to use e.g. a bluetooth mouse that has been paired earlier - even if your OS doesn't support bluetooth.
    In HCI mode, the device presents itself as a regular bluetooth adapter which can be used by your bluetooth stack (e.g. bluez) - that's what we want.
    The problem back in 2011 was, that my adapter would default to HID mode and to switch it to HCI mode I had to use the 'hid2hci' tool (now part of bluez-utils).
    For some time now bluez ships a udev rule which takes care of switching modes so everything worked flawlessly.
    A couple of weeks ago, however, the problem resurfaced and I haven't found a fix yet.
    I noticed that the udev rule isn't triggered anymore and running hid2hci (/lib/udev/hid2hci) manually doesn't work either (gives an error saying 'unable to handle [devpath]').
    The only way to use the bluetooth adapter in arch for me is to boot Windows inside a Virtual machine, attach the USB touchpad device (the HID proxy) and let Windows switch it to HCI mode.
    This, however, only lasts until I reboot/resume from standby.
    I believe this regression was caused by a package upgrade, since an older arch installation I had lying around still recogniced the adapter while an up-to-date installation wouldn't.
    Unfortunately, said lecacy installation is now gone and downgrading arch to a point before the regression doesn't seem feasible.
    Any suggestions are more than welcome!
    So long,
    rev

    I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
    Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
    I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
    I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
    any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause

    Trust has not supplied a driver for Windows 8.1 so the issue is not with your PC or the operating system. Tyr plugging it into a usb 2.0 port. USB 3.0 ports are picky about devices.
    The problem  is that the bluetooth dongle has no support for Windows 8.1.  Contact Trust .  
    Sorry to bear bad news. I would return the dongle and find one that suports Windows 8.1.

  • Is it possible to have a second bluetooth adapter?

    Hi
    I've a new mac mini, with integrated bluetooth, but when I try to use de wireless keyboard on the next room, i can't get any signal. The walls have a lot of concrete in this zone.
    So I'm wondering if is it possible to add an usb extension with second usb bluetooth adapter attached to it and connected on the other side of the wall?
    Will it work? The keyboard would automatically shift from one receiver to another, or would I need to manually change it somehow?
    Thanks

  • USB Speaker & USB Bluetooth Adapter Not Working

    hi there,
    my USB external speaker and USB bluetooth adapter (for my plantronics headset) is not working.  I believe this had to do me removing a critical program (from add/remove programs) about half a year ago - i can no longer do a system recovery to retrieve the program.  I'm currently operating on windows 7x64-bit.  all drivers are up to date and working.  the usb drives work fine - i've tried testing each slot by  connecting my external mouse and all seems functional.  it's only when i plug in the external speaker or usb bluetooth adapter that things go wrong - see screen shots below.  my internal speaker and internal mic work perfectly fine.  it appears to be only an issue with usb audio-related devices.  these devices work with other systems and computers, so i know that it is not the device itself.  i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling conexant audio, but that did not work.  i've gone into the device manager and all looks ok there. i've disabled and renabled, updated all drivers, and still nothing....any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks so much for any help or guidance you can provide.

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it pair/work in the new account?
