Adding Bluetooth to R705-P35

I would like to add Bluetooth to my R705-P35. I want to add it internally like if Bluetooth were installed at the factory. Is the wiring harness and Bluetooth module available as parts?  What parts are necessary and where do you get them? Is this possible? 
I know it's easy to add a USB Bluetooth adapter but where's the fun in that!
Solved!

I just added a bluetooth module to my R705. I tried to document the process. The link is below. Hope that helps.

  • Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Hi Everyone,
    The CPU fan, thermal grease, and heatsink in my Portege R705-P35 were all replaced recently. Ever
    since the repair, the fan runs near 40% constantly and the CPU temperature is also constantly
    near 40%. (side: I got those numbers from Toshiba PC Health Monitor.)
    Because of some other posts, I checked to see if I had the
    latest BIOS version. As far as I can tell, the latest version is 2.20, which had a release
    date of 01/23/2012. From looking in the Registry, my laptop has version 2.20, but with a release
    date of 12/22/2011.
    Does anyone know if the discrepancy in release dates means anything?
    Thanks!
    Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Bert, I can occasionally hear the fan on my wife's machine.  On the two I use, I have never heard the fans since I've had the machines unless I put my ear right down to the keyboard directly above the fan.

  • Portege R705-P35 - Screen/Lid Flexes and bends - Is this normal?

    My screen/lid of the laptop bends when light pressure is applied to it.  I was curious if this was normal amongst the portege 705s.  Thanks.

    I too have a bezel issue with 2 breaks.  Looking to find parts and how to replace the bezel.  Will I need to seperate the screen from the keyboard in order to replace the bezel?
    I understand that the part number is located on the underside of the bezel probably on the lower right side of it.  Does anyone have the bezel part number for a R705-P35 Protege?

  • Portege R705-P35 has limited to no sound

    My Portege R705-P35 has at best very low volume sounds.  Audio troubleshooters are unable to detect any problems.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers, but this did not fix the problem.  My audio used to work properly, and I would like to know why it no longer works correctly.

    This is the audio driver you reinstalled?

    You may want to try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

  • 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.

  • R705-P35 - Create Recovery Problem

    I bought a 16bg flash drive to create the recovery files for my R705-P35 laptop, but then ran into a problem.
    1.  After inserting the flash drive, and clicking "CREATE," I got the following message:
    Format failed!     (Note I had previously formatted the flash drive)
    (Error Code:  040E2D-00-00000000)
    ... then ...
    An Unexpected Error Occurred.
    (Error Code:  040EAE-57-00000000)
    ... then the following message appeared in the recovery file creator window ...
    "The creating process for all media has been cancelled."    (my emphasis)
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I had previously formatted the flash drive
    I'm only guessing here.
    If you formatted it for the NTFS file system, try formatting it for FAT32.

  • Portege R705-P35 Web Cam failed to initialize

    My Web camera fails to initialize. 
    (This used to work, but stopped suddenly.)  Every time I start my computer, I get the message, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer."
    Portege R705-P35
    64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium
    I don't see the web camera listed in my Device Manager, either.
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this is greatly appreciated.  I do have my Recovery disks, but I don't know how to reinstall my web cam from them.

    Reinstall the Toshiba Web Camera Application found HERE.

  • Adding bluetooth fonction

    Hello I have added the bluetooth to my imac so i could use wireless keyboard and mouse... but when my computer is on sleep it does not recognise either a mouse click a keyboard tap..so my computer just wont wake up ???

    With Bluetooth module installed and seen by the wake system, can you
    go into System Preferences>Bluetooth and choose to change settings,
    so you can enable more features? My iMacG4 does not have BT installed
    and it was an option, so unless there's some permissions issue or other
    control setting to enable its full functionality, it should just work.
    For some important keyboard combos and admin functions you
    may need to still have a USB keyboard and mouse handy, be-
    cause the Bluetooth hardware won't be energized for some of
    the "on boot" keyboard commands you'd need to reset PRAM
    or maybe other ones sometimes necessary for troubleshooting.
    You also may be able to add a BT 'control icon' to the main menubar;
    similar to what a bluetooth-enabled 'Book will have. My iBookG4 has
    bluetooth, but I don't use a wireless keyboard or mouse with it, so far.

  • 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.

    There are BT adapters you can connect to the audio out on the TV.
    However, there's a few problems doing this:
    1) Randomly placing speakers will make your audio sound out of balance unless you indiviudally adjust each speaker for the optimal seating position.
    2) You'll need powered speakers, each speaker will need a plug or need to be connected to another speaker in the set for power. Battery powered speakers sound terrible and don't hold a charge for very long.
    3) BT audio is stereo only, lossy, and unless you're willing to lay out some cash for the speakers the sound fidelity is pretty bad. Expect fun things like crackles and audio pops.

  • Adding bluetooth to a power mac G4

    I"m getting a G4 tower as a back up mac and it does not have bluetooth. The only keyboard I have is the wireless keyboard connected to my macbook. How can I add bluetooth to the G4 so I can use the wireless keyboard with it?

    Hi-
    Yes, you can. Get a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later).
    Very easy, and works very well.

  • Adding Bluetooth to my Power Mac without USB.

    Hi,
    I'd like to add Bluetooth to my 1.8GHz Dual G5 Power Mac as cheaply as possible without using a USB port. Any recommendations for cheap PCI cards pleases.
    Thanks

    I have one of these plugged into my keyboard:

    I bought one like 2 and 3 (thou (2) got his pricing wrong and was only £2.75), one for my G5 and one for a windows laptop. I found that (2) dongle kept loosing my bluetooth mouse. I swapped the dongles over and found my bluetooth mouse preferred the (3) (only £1.75)
    So any above should work and if plugged into your keyboard or the front of the G5 wont take up a USB at the back.

  • Adding Bluetooth to my MDD dual 1.25??

    Just curious if anyone knows if an Apple Bluetooth Module, Model A1044, p/n 820-1449 will fit/work in my G4 MDD dual 1.25? I believe that there is a built in antenna and plug right next to the AirPort slot in my tower. If not, how about a card with the p/n 820-1696-A? I think that one is for a newer G5 but not sure either.
    Any info would be great. I can't find any info anywhere and I'm looking a a module on ebay.
    I had originally posted this elsewhere but I think I found the right area for the experts to take a gander...
    Thanks much,
    Robert

    Carl B;
    Specs for the '02 (DP 867, DP 1 GB, DP 1.25) FW400 MDD series lists a Bluetooth adapter in the "Other" section - options, I presume.
    For the '03 1.25 (only) FW400 MDD, as you state, no Bluetooth option is listed under specs.
    Since I already have a Bluetooth dongle in the internal USB port on my USB/FW PCI expansion card - and it works great - I really don't need this adapter. I did buy one and will check it out on my '03 FW400 1.25 MoBo. Actually purchased the adapter to try installing it in my wife's G5 iMac - bought it new but did not specify Bluetooth. Want to see if this will work. Just after we purchased the iMac, I inquired about Bluetooth and Apple said "tough luck, Charlie, nothing you can do now!" Told me the MoBos were different between no Bluetooth and Bluetooth option. Didn't really believe that. I'll know next week about both computers and Bluetooth.
