Ibook G4 (mid 2005) Bluetooth Issue

Question

I am having trouble with my bluetooth firmware updater it says "This version of the updater is missing the firmware file cannot proceed". I misplace all of my install discs like a moron. do i need the install discs or can the fix be downloaded.

Answer 1

The Apple Hardware Test included within the original software package
the computer shipped with may be helpful in determining the cause of
the issues; and the correct one is in those discs you no longer have.
+{Or, according to another post, discs you recently acquired. Usually+
+these replacements are DVD media, if the computer originally had+
+this kind of media and if the drive was a DVD combo or superdrive.+
+The iBook G4 mid-1005 did not ship with a CD-ROM drive, so the+
+media discs would be DVDs.}+
You may be able to order a replacement installer disc set for that iBook
from the Apple store online, by calling their sales support main phone
number (as indicated in the web page header, usually) and be prepared
with the serial number of the computer on the ready; and a means to pay
a fee for the replacement disc set, should they be available still.
There is a possibility the bluetooth/wi-fi module itself may have failed,
in which case you may have to get and replace the one in the computer.
That part is on the logic board and has a connector and a bolt/nut that
holds the electronic part to the logic board. There are manuals for free
on such sites as http://ifixit.com/ for the repairs and take-apart details.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!
