Satellite A500-011 PSAR0C-01100D - internal Bluetooth adapter

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.
thanks

*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.

Satellite M200 - Does it have internal Bluetooth?

I have a Satellite M200 PSMC3A-06N008 System Serial Number: 18139050Q with the Intel Corporation SANTA ROSA CRB motherboard running BIOS: Phoenix Technologies LTD 1.90 12/20/2007
The user guide indicates there should be Bluetooth installed on the motherboard but when I attempt to install the "Bluetooth Stack for Windows-by-Toshiba" I am prompted to install the Bluetooth device.
Examination of the Device Manager does not show any Bluetooth devices, so my question is ...
Does the Satellite M200 PSMC3A-06N008 have the Bluetooth chipset installed on the motherboard??
If so, it would look like mine is faulty.

Hi buddy,
Its not easy to say because this is depending on your notebook model and there are different models with different specifications on the market.
I have tried to check the specifications on Australian website but no results found for your model :(
Normally if your notebook is equipped with BT you should find the [Bluetooth logo|http://www.thebikerstore.co.uk/product_images/n/033/Bluetooth_logo__70711_zoom.jpg] on bottom side of your notebook.
Can you see it?

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
# cat /proc/toshiba

Who can tell what model of "Satelite" same ACPI?

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.

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..

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

[Solved] Can't Get Bluetooth Adapter To Run

Hello all,
I have a notebook (Dell Studio 1555) with an internal bluetooth adapter (dell 370, if I remember correctly), that I'm unable to set up in Gnome 3.10.
It has worked before under KDE 4.10, but I think it stopped working under KDE 4.11, prior to switching to Gnome, though I'm not sure.

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

Internal 3G modem with SIM slot for Satellite A500-12W?

I join this forumn in great frustration because I have spent hours online searching for an answer.
I run a Satellite A500-12W with a USB 3G modem but I don't like having that fragile thingy sticking out of the computer and occupying one of only 3 USB ports. Under the battery there is a slot that says SIM but it seems to be empty as it cannot hold a sim card in place.
I do not have an internal 3g modem, I have WLAN capabilities.
Surely it must be possible to buy a card that goes internally and works in the same way as a USB modem?
There is an empty slot next to the memory slots that says 3G/TV and something else, is that the place and in that case, which product should I buy?
I am eternally grateful for any help, this frustrates me greatly. Thanks in advance.
Colorblend of Sweden

Hello
I agree with the user above. I think the notebook case is also used for other models they are support such a 3G module and SIM card and therefore you can see a SIM card place.
But if such an upgrade would be possible it can be done from an authorized service provider so I would recommend contacting the guys.
You must contact them in every case because they can sell all original Toshiba spare parts and if such an upgrade is possible you need the parts for that.
You can find a list of the guys here:

Good luck! :)

Internal bluetooth module for Satellite A100-498

Hi,
I recently aquired an Satellite A100-498, in this model there's no internal bluetooth interface.
Can someone tell me if it suports an internal bt module?
I've found one page saiing it supports the PA3477U-1BTM but it was not a thosiba oficial page.
If someone knows about this please let me know.
regards
Miguel

If your notebook model was also sold with Bluetooth then it is most likely that also your notebook can be equipped with a Bluetooth module, if not then not. All internal bluetooth modules are USB based. The very old ones are from SiW and then new ones from CSR. So I guess the form factor has the highest priority for you.
In this case I would consider to by a SD Bluetooth card 3, but you should check first if your SD slot supports SDIO in you notebook manual. This is required to get it working. I found this information on the Toshiba bluetooth website.

Satellite P20-S203 internal bluetooth

Hi,
I've just checked under the modem board in my P20-S203 and there is place to install a bluetooth internal card. It should connect to the motherboard via a ribbon cable like the bluetooth module for the M200 series. However, I cannot find the exact part number for my computer anywhere...
Also, there are some P20 computers that already come with internal bluetooth installed. Which part number is applicable to my computer? I already have a bluetooth SD Card 2 and I am always afraid that I break it or loose it...
Kind regards
Fernando Birra

Hi,
I can not understand why you do not use your Bluetooth SD Card. If you have problem with small parts buy the bigger one. :)
Bluetooth PC Card (TDK) seems to be proper for your Notebook. The information you can find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Products > Options & Accessories > Communications. Part number is PX1086E-1PCC.

Satellite A500 - Is there a model with 2nd internal HDD?

Is there an A500 model with 2 internals hard disks?

Hi!
You can check this on the Toshiba website in specifications of the notebook if its equipped with 2nd HDD ;)
But I have checked the Toshiba website for you and it seems that Satellite A500 isnt equipped with 2nd HDD.
So if you want a 2nd HDD you have to use an external one that you can connect via fast eSATA port for example.

Bluetooth adapter (dongle)

Can I use a bluetooth adapter (dongle) on my HP 3015 to make it wireless?

Hi,
Basesd on its specs, it can only have:
Standard:
1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0; 1 HP Jetdirect 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet embedded print server; 1 EIO; 1 Host USB 2.0 (front-panel); 2 internal Accessory (for connecting HP or partner solutions)
Optional:
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers; HP Jetdirect external print servers; HP 802.11b/g wireless print servers; HP EIO Parallel Port Adaptor
Looks like BT dongle is out of the picture. We need to know the following points to be able to work out an option.
Does it have wireless option ?
Do you have a wireless router at home ?
Does your Dell have wireless card ?
Regards.

Bluetooth USB dongle vs internal Bluetooth

Hi,
When I bought my MP, I didn't ordered with an internal Bluetooth module. Now I need BT connectivity, but I read the module is a bit hard to install (if you do it yourself).
I just found online a D-Link USB 2 bluetooth adapter (D-Link DBT-120).
Does it work with the MacPro? What is the difference between using this adapter vs. using an internal BT module in terms of performance?
I just need it for my cell to sync.
Thank you.

The D-Link should work just fine and does also work with Apple BT updates which is a good thing. The down side to it is that it's USB which means it'll use a port and consume your USB bandwidth. However, being external, reception should be better than the internal, metal encased (the MP case), Apple BT module.
As for the installation, it's not difficult of you have decent instructions and patience. However I'd still probably take it to an Apple service centre and have them do it to ensure the correct installation and the ensured continuity of your warranty coverage.

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

It's not possible because there is no way to Mac OS X which Bluetooth hardware to use.
I just tried it with a USB Bluetooth Adapter here and the internal Bluetooth stopped working.
