Adding Bluetooth internally to DV7-3165DX?

What steps are involved with adding bluetooth internally to DV7-3165DX? What pitfalls should I avoid? Pics would help. As a measure of skill level, I have replaced hard drive and display (panel only) in same laptop. How difficult is it compared to these?
I am looking at buying the following to add bluetooth internally to my DV7-3165DX, so this would free up 1 usb port from bluetooth nano. I have a lot of usb accessories. DV7-3167NR used the same motherboard, 574679-001, and parts for internal bluetooth.
537921-001 Bluetooth SB module
583501-001 Bluetooth module interface cable

All you need to do is to buy a BlueTooth dongle, for about £10, which just plugs in to a USB port and you are BT activated. But unless it is the D-Link one that Apple recommends, it may not work with a headset, though it works OK syncing with and transferring files to and from a digital camera.

System Recovery Kit for dv7-3165dx fails to restore factory image to replacement hd

I'm posting this wall of text here in case someone else has any suggestions before I contact HP Support to see what options they have.
My attempt to recover the factory image to a replacement hard drive in an HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx notebook is failing. An error occurs when SM.exe is trying to merge the WIM files. The SSRD.Log shows an error:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
after that, SM.exe displays this message when run from a command line:
SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
The following are the symptoms that the Recovery Manager displays on the screen.
The Recovery Manager reads the two DVDs and after a few seconds, it pops up an error message:
Reducer
C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found.
The message has on "OK" button that when clicked on, closes the message window.
After that, nothing happens. No disk or DVD activity for over an hour. The mouse moves, but no key presses have any effect, including CTRL-ALT-DEL. You can use the mouse to move the Recovery Manager window around, and there is nothing hidden behind it. Clicking on the Recovery Manager Back, Next, or Cancel buttons produce no response at all.
The only option at this point is to hold down the power switch until it powers down.
When the power is turned back on, the hard drive boots and Recovery Manager displays a message that incorrectly claims "Recovery is complete" and has a "Click Finish to restart" button. After clicking on "Finish", it reboots but since the System Recovery did not actually complete, all it does is display:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
Before attempting the recovery, the notebook passed all diagnostic tests.
The 2x2GB memory cards, which still have HP stickers on them, were tested with Memtest86+ V5.01 and completed over six passes in over seven hours with zero errors.
The replacement 500GB HGST Travelstar Z5K500 drive was tested with gsmartcontrol. The SMART status showed no errors in the past with over 400 hours of power-on time. Both of the SMART short self-test and extended self-test tests were run, which it passed without any errors.
The HP System Diagnostics from the Startup Menu were run on the memory and hard drive and they passed those tests without any errors.
While waiting for the HP "System Recovery Kit for Consumer Notebook (3 Disks)" Software Part Number 599357-001 to arrive, both Fedora 21 64bit and Windows Vista 64bit were successfully installed on the harddrive.
Both System Recovery DVDs were read on different machines without any errors. This System Recovery Kit supports the notebook's System Id which is 3638, so they appear to be the correct discs.
Now a list of workaround attempts that were suggested.
After the Recovery Manager failed a few times with the same error message, some googling came up with other users mentioning the "TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message. I tried these suggestions that I read about.
Run KillDisk to fill the HD with zeros.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Run the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility (sp44645.exe).
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Installed Windows VISTA 64bit again and upgraded the BIOS from F10 to F13.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
Try only using a single 2GB memory card to see if it was a 64bit problem.
Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
The BIOS does not have an option to change from AHCI mode to IDE mode.
I don't have a Windows 7 OEM install disc and am trying to avoid spending $100 to buy one.
That is when I decided that it is not a PC hardware problem, but a problem with the HP System Recovery Kit. Here are the details of what I think the Kit is doing.
After running Recovery Manager and getting the error message, instead of just re-booting and letting the "Recovery is complete" message appear, I re-booted with a Linux USB drive and inspected what was on the hard drive.
fdisk -l shows this:
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

Running gparted shows about 200 MB of unallocated space before the sda1 NTFS partition. The rest of the disk is unallocated after the bootable sda2.
The sda1 NTFS partition has a \SSRD.Log file and an empty \RM\Image directory.
The sda2 FAT32 partition has the Recovery Manager application files in it:
/mnt/sda2:
total 400
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Apr 9 23:36 SDV.FLG
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 9 23:36 SYSTEM.SAV
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 BOOT
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 EFI
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 SOURCES
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 27 2009 TOOL
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383562 Jul 13 2009 bootmgr
The SOURCES directory has boot.wim, and the TOOL directory has all the programs, like Reducer.exe and SM.exe, in it.
After shutting down the Linux system and rebooting, the Recovery Manager then boots from sda2 and displays the "Recovery is complete" message and "Click Finish to restart" button. During this process, it removes the sda2 partition and marks the sda1 NTFS partition as the active bootable partition. When the PC restarts, all that is left is the sda1 NTFS partition with the empty C:\RM\Image directory and the SSRD.Log file, so there is no BOOTMGR to boot with.
The SSRD.Log file logs the tasks that the Recovery Manager performs.
The Recovery Manager runs some initialization tasks and then reads the two System Recovery DVDs. It then calls MergeWimFile which runs SM.exe and starts to merge BASE.WIM with the other BASE*.WIM files. SM.exe merges 20 WIM files with log entries like these:
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE22.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE23.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE3.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE4.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE5.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE6.WIM
SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE7.WIM
Then, with only two WIM files left, BASE8.WIM and BASE9.WIM, the log shows:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
This must be when Recovery Manager pops up the "Reducer C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message.
That narrowed down the problem.
I copied all of the WIM files and the TOOLS directory to a Windows 8.1 system. The two DVDs did not have any errors while being read. Running SM.exe from an admin Command Prompt with the same parameters that were logged in the SSRD.Log produced the same error message. There was an additional error message that appeared in the Command Prompt window:
SM, 13, Set reference file fail
SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
and the TempBASE.WIM was not created.
SM.exe /? did not provide a help message. I could not find any documentation on the SM.exe command.
If I removed three of the WIM files, (BASE7.WIM BASE8.WIM BASE9.WIM) then SM.exe could create the TempBASE.WIM file, but it would fail while merging index 2 of 3 with this message:
SM, 11%, Merge index 2 of 3 Processing
SM, Failed, Export image failed
The TempBASE.WIM is 3,421,518 KB in size after that.
This is where I came to a dead end and cannot think of anything else that I can do. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it appears to me that there was some kind of error building this System Recovery Kit and it is not able to perform a factory install on this notebook.
ps
If I can figure out how to add an attachment, I will add the SSRD.Log file. If not, then ask and I will post it as a followup.

Downloaded Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit which contains the latest imagex program.
Running imagex.exe on the BASE7.WIM file on the second System Recovery DVD:

Error opening file [K:\PRELOAD\BASE7.WIM].
The data is invalid.
The same error message is shown for BASE7.WIM, BASE8.WIM, and BASE9.WIM.
The other WIM files in the PRELOAD directory, BASE5.WIM, BASE6.WIM, BASE10.WIM, BASE13.WIM, BASE15.WIM, BASE17.WIM and BASE23.WIM, could be read by imagex without any errors.

Pavilion dv7-3165dx will not boot up

This pavilion dv7-3165dx has worked flawlessly for 8 years. Now when I turn it on, the lights come on and the fan runs, but nothing loads up, not Windows, not BIOS, nothing. The screen stays blank. I have cycled the power several times with the same result. I checked the BIOS battery, and it is good: 3.25 volts.

Hi there @Terry49,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your notebook is no longer starting up properly, and I am happy to help with this.
I would start out with this process, and see if there is any change. It is possible that just the hard reset is required.
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Also check your power adapter, and if you have another one, try it out, and also try a different wall outlet.
I hope this helps.

Literally in last 24 hours. all was working fine. then Stopped.
Device not working is : hp DVDWBD TS-LB23L ATA Device
Whirrrs like reading disc...even gets the disc icon on windows.
Have scoured these boards and tried everal of the solutions.....
1. tried uninstalling and reinstalling Driver as described on these boards... didnt work
2. tried MATS on microsoft website....didnt work
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/
3. Tried the Revo uninstaller attempt .... didnt work
4. tried the CC Cleaner attempt ... didnt work
5. Tried the ATA channel delete ... didnt work
6. tried the BIOS update here : HP Mediasmart DVD failure - HP Support Forum
as additional clarification..... no physical damage to computer....Discs being used are all functional Blu or CD or DVD.
HP Mediasmart DVD is still not working.
NO installation of new programs prior to this going on.
My same fire wall program, anti-,malware has been on this computer since I purchased it 7 months ago.
No software changes in system.
I do not use the Comodo firewall system either.
Thank you

Have you tried installing a trial Blu-ray player. Don't use one from Cyberlink as it's too close to Media Smart DVD.
Use Arc Soft

----Will give that a whirl when I return home.
Have you tried the obvious and picked a Windows restore point to where it was working ? -------Windows 7, in that particular machine isn't letting me dial back for an earlier restore point..... it isn't even letting me see dates....Believe me I would have been happy to dial back a week or two. Not sure why, Havent been able to dig in that direction....was trying to be careful about not digging a deeper hole before moving all important work files and stuff to a different machine before toying with windows deeper.
Maybe the drive itself has failed, do you you have another HP laptop that you can try it in ?-----have several HPs...might try that soon.
Check "Autoplay" in the control panel.----have done the autoplay fixes that have been proposed in other chains of similar problems....no avail.
I will keep throwing ideas at you no matter how simplistic they may seem. I find that it starts people thinking in another direction.     --------Believe me, I appreciate it, just as long as it doesn't devolve into .....Is the machine plugged in?
Have you tried burning a DVD with it ?   Not yet, that is a good idea.
Try installing Image Burn and see if the drive will create ISO files with a Blu-ray disk. You will get a warning that Image Burn can't do this, but continue and let it dead the whole disc. Let me know if that works and I will give you the software to play the movie from the ISO files.
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Use mirror 8 provided by Image Burn.
What version of Media Smart DVD are you running ? Was using the most recent release......then uninstalled it and went back a few versions... to one that was linked to in another similar thread.
Thanks.

Implementing 2 Badis for adding new internal follow-up actions and saving

Hi Guys
I would like assistance with the implementations of two badis in EMW. The one badi is called /SCWM/IF_EX_QFU and is used for adding new internal follow-up actions and the second badi is called /SCWM/EX_QFU_SAVE and is used for saving the new follow-up actions that that have been created.

HP DV7-3165dx Needs New Adapter - Help?

My HP dv7-3165dx needs a new adaptor as the original one no longer works. Should I just buy this one in the HP store? The original was a 65W. I've been using a 90W one a family member lent me just so I can use my laptop. I just want to make sure it's fully compatible and the best choice. Never had to buy an adaptor before. Lately my laptop just seems to be getting...old and tired, I suppose!
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Accessories/AC-Adapters/H6Y85AA?HP-65W-AC-Ad...

Hi,
65W or 90W or 120W can be used. The main 2 things: the tip and voltage. Voltage can be minus/plus 5% but the tip MUST be fit perfectly. Many machines come with TWO units, the first one is for on the road (lighter and smaller).

Dv7-3165dx unknown device in device manager

I have a dv7-3165dx. I installed and intel SSD and windows 7 professional 64 bit.
I downloaded the device drivers from the hp web site, but still have 1 unknown device in device manager.
How can I figure out what I need a driver for?

Don't know if you ever got this resolved but the issue I think, assuming that you were having the same problem as mine, is the Webcam. Check the device manager see if an Imaging device appears. If not this SP should resolve the issue. It resolved mine. HP DV7-3165DX Windows 7 64x fresh install.

Adding bluetooth capability to eMac w/o

I'm looking to add bluetooth capability to my eMac that didn't come with bluetooth installed. I added an airport card by myself, and it was fairly straightforward. Is there such a thing as a "Bluetooth card" that can be installed internally, or is my only possible option a USB dongle?

All you need to do is to buy a BlueTooth dongle, for about £10, which just plugs in to a USB port and you are BT activated. But unless it is the D-Link one that Apple recommends, it may not work with a headset, though it works OK syncing with and transferring files to and from a digital camera.

Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
Suggestions? Advice?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you,
James
P.S.
An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
This question was solved.

Thank You Pepe999,
This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
Worked like a charm...Thank you!
Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.
