I added a Bluetooth Module into my 4 month old Pavillion HP DV6045NR notebook sucessfully.

It took me several months of searching to get the right part for it.

If anyone out there wishing to add an internal Bluetooth radio Module to their DV6000 series notebook please read my post here it will possibly help you avoid the problems I faced.

This mod also avoids using up any free USB ports externally such as attaching a cheap BT dongle. Also there are only 3 external USB ports available on the DV6045NR model notebook, so an internally fitted Bluetooth radio module is a nice little handy upgrade at least for me.

The specs are:
Product DV6000 or Pavillion DV6045NR
HP Model Number EZ476UA #ABA
Turion X2 TL-56 Dual 1.8Ghz Processor
1GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 410/430 chipset
Nvidia Geforce Go 7200 64MB (256MB TC) video card, 15.4" widescreen
120GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive
Broadcom 802.11G with no Bluetooth fitted ex-factory
LightScribe DVD-RAM Burner model HL-DT-ST GSA4084N
Integrated Webcam
5 in 1 Card Reader
56k modem
Synaptics touchpad

First off, a quick search at Google for a Bluetooth upgrade on Pavillion DV6000 simply does not exist, maybe after this post there will be. :-)

I checked HP Parts center US for a bluetooth radio module and the search there came up with part number 407159-001 and description of part as :

Part #407159-001.Wireless Interface : Mini PCI 802.11b/g HS embedded wireless LAN (WLAN) card with Bluetooth (Broadcom,Most-of-world)

The decription for above part is completely inaccurate and misleading, it sounds like the Mini-PCI card has built-in Bluetooth, in fact even the HP support guys were not able to explain to me the difference nor help me figure out why the card does not have Bluetooth in it. I even asked the HP Technical Service center to confirm if this part will also do Bluetooth and they wrote back saying, "Yes" it will and all that bull... which turned out to be wrong.

I checked Broadcom's site for the chipset numbers, there are no Bluetooth capability in this card according to Broadcom. What it has is only "Bluetooth Collaboration" feature which allows the 802.11b/g chipset to collaborate with a separate Bluetooth radio/module to avoid cross interference when both radio modules are active.

Off course I discovered this only after getting the wrong part above at cost US$86!! HP was kind enough to accept it's return after I had explained that they got the parts description inaccurately listed and it did not do what it says it should. They still have not corrected the description of this part at their website. Several other sites also sells this same part claiming it has Bluetooth built-in, don't believe them it's a lie.

Upon further searching I found the correct Bluetooth Radio Module at HP Parts Center US once again. The part number is # 412766-001 Wireless Interface Bluetooth module - Includes cable..cost US$65.
There are 3 sets of cables with connectors included in this package but no mounting screws though. You will need the longest one of the 3 cables for connecting the Bluetooth radio module to the DV6045NR motherboard, the remaining two shorter cables are meant for other HP notebooks and not to be used for this purpose.

Note: this part # 412766-001 was listed as suitable for Pavillion DV6000 CTO Notebook PC and the Model numbers listed at HP's site did not even include my version EZ476UA notebook either. :-)

Anyway I took the gamble to buy this part because I had taken apart my notebook and found there is a connector available to plug-in a Bluetooth radio on the motherboard just underneath the keyboard. You will need the HP Maintenance & Service Guide Document Part Number 416618-002 to do this.
It can be downloaded from this site http://pood.elion.ee/download.aspx/12152.

The part of the BT module's cable where it connects to the motherboard is located directly underneath the keyboard in the vicinity of the letters "JKM". The take apart instructions are found in the Service Guide document mentioned above. The BT radio module itself can be placed in the compartment space next to the WLAN Card underneath the notebook and the cable threaded through a hole where the WLAN antenna cables passes through to the top side of the motherboard, see picture attached.

In above picture..
The bottom left hand side shows the WLAN 802.11b/g mini-PCI card (white and black antenna cables connects to it), just to the top of that is the BT Radio Module #412766-001 which has the flat multipin connector at it's edge.

I simply held the BT module in place with a screw and some velcro to the underside of it and quite conveniently the space has also some black insulating tape covering the motherboard. The cable from the BT module is threaded through to the available hole to topside of motherboard so it connects to the Bluetooth multipin connector port located underneath the keyboard.

Once hardware is installed then you will need to download and install the "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth technology version 4.0.1.3500" or HP Softpaq SP32883, Bluetooth radio software drivers.
Remember to switch ON the Wireless switch located at front left side of notebook as this also switches on your Bluetooth Module. When the switch is slide to ON, the HP Wireless Asssitant should pop up with message WLAN : On and Bluetooth ® : On.

Upon installation of the software, it will detect your Bluetooth radio module and install into Task Bar a Bluetooth Icon including all the Bluetooth interfaces, ports and modems onto your notebook. Hardware is now ready for use.

I have tested my Nokia N80 with Bluetooth Nokia PC Sync utillties and I have also tested it with an Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse both worked like a charm. All 802.11b/g wireless functionality are working well too.


I hope the above guide is helpful.

Thank you for the excellent info rfzarcher.
I just spent 30 minutes on chat with Compaq tech support and they also claimed I need PN 407159-001
It took me only a minute to find out they are terribly wrong.

It is sad when the users are more knowledgeable about the products than the vendor itself.

Hasnain - Firstly I assume you are familiar with Electronics and Computer architecture because this is not for the faint hearted. Normally most people would just opt to get a cheap 20 dollar USB Bluetooth Dongle and stick that into one of the free USB ports to get BT interface to their gadgets. So if you are really keen to open up your new machine and break warranty on it then it's your choice.

You have been fairly warned that this mod might destroy your laptop if you don't know what you are doing. If your laptop is destroyed your warranty is void too and of course no one at HP will help you with this because they prefer that you buy a new machine or an expensive after sales service part to fix it, also if I were a large corporation I'd do the same. It's economics of scale my friend.

I hope you understand the risks. Ok here it goes...

A quick search at HP's site for software and drivers revealed that the "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth technology version 4.00E" software/driver is listed as available for product number DV1650US. This means that your laptop can be fitted with a Bluetooth internal radio.

Download and install this software/driver first in your machine to make sure that your BIOS is not locked from allowing you to install BT modules on it. If the software installation goes on smoothly without any hardware errors and ends with Bluetooth Module or Radio not found, please switch it ON, click O.K to proceed and blah blah blah and then it goes on to display a Bluetooth Blue/Red icon at righthand corner of your dektop task bar (near the clock) this simply means the hardware is not installed yet and not enabled.

Check also your BIOS>System Configuration to ensure there are options for enabling Bluetooth Radio on/off, some older BIOS versions have these options, if not present then don't worry about it, proceed to next...

Your laptop is based on the DV1600 design and the take apart instructions or service manual for your product line is found at this site..

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00668314.pdf

download this and take a look at chapter Removal and Replacement procedure, section 5.14 where it decribes the Bluetooth Module.

The Bluetooth part number you require is listed at the begining of this section 5.14, it is Part Number 412766-001, the same one I described in my post earlier.

Order it from this HP site..

http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main

enter the part number 412766-001 in the righthand box shown at this website and go onto to purchasing the part.

When part arrives make sure it has the connector cables, you need only one, choose the suitable one for your laptop, you will know when you get there. Also make sure there are the mounting screws because your laptop has not much free space to leave the module sitting in there with a velcro or double sided tape.

Warning, make sure you use proper tools and protection against static discharge unless you want to silently kill your motherboard. Follow the correct steps shown in the service manual.

Once BT module is installed, power up your laptop and switch on the Wifi switch because this also powers the BT Module. The software "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth technology version 4.00E" which was installed earlier should detect your BT Module and have all BT interfaces setup automatically, it takes a few minutes so be patient, if does not then uninstall the software/driver via Control Panel and do a reinstall, it should come up just fine.

Have fun. :-)

HP Pavilion dv6174cl Media Center Notebook PC. That is the model that I have. RG362UA#ABA that is the part number. Will the module work with this one?

[jonjon1123]

First of all THANK YOU!!!!! What a great tutorial! I have a few questions that I wanted to ask you:

1. I have a HP Pavilion dv6130us. I think I looked at everything right and I believe this should work for my computer. Am I correct in thinking this?

2. Where can you find the screws to secure the bluetooth module to the mini pci bay like you have it in the picture?

3. Will this void my warranty? Can't I just take it out if I ever need to send it in for repairs? Also, I just recently bought this laptop and I have a Circuit City service plan...they won't care that I did this, right?

4. As I read through the HP Maintenance & Service Guide for my laptop, it says I have to take apart a whole bunch of stuff (i.e. the hard drive, speakers, display, etc.) just to take out or put in a bluetooth module. Is this true? Do I need to take out all that stuff just to get to the bluetooth connection point on the motherboard? I don't have my laptop with me right now as it is being fixed so I can't see for myself. I thought I would be able to just take the back cover off.

Thanks for your time!

Jon & KNBOND1 - My answer to your questions

1. If you do a quick search at Hp.com site for Software & Drivers for the model number of your laptop and you see in there listed the "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth technology version 4.00" then it is most likely that your laptop can be fitted with that Bluetooth Module I mentioned in my post. Check also the Maintenance and Service Guide for your laptop, if it shows there that a BT module can be added then for sure you could do this mod.

2. I just took one of the two screws that was used by the WLAN PCIe card to secure the BT module. Some of my friends also did this BT mod themselves and their purchase from HP had the screws and cables included in their package.

3. I don't know what is covered and not covered in your warranty plan, so best to check, most likely this mod will void your warranty. Of course you can remove the BT module if you ever need to have the laptop repaired under warranty, the choice is yours.

4. The Maintenance & Service Guide Manual, does say you have to remove HDD, Display Screen, motherboard etc.

However I found that it was sufficient to remove these items only and leave the rest alone. Again I could do this because I am familiar with "destroying" PC and Mac laptops myself :-)

Its enough to remove this only, be sure you know what screws they are and remember the exact reverse sequence to build it back. Again read the maintenance and service guide manual carefully.
Remove...
a) Battery and any power source
b) Cover to memory module and memory module should be removed to avoid any damage
c) Remove the WLAN PCIe card
d) Remove the DVDRW drive, usually just one screw underside and it slides out
c) Loosen all screws for the keyboard from underside, the screw hole on underside will have a stamp mark on it showing the keyboard symbol, so you will know which one to loosen when you see these crptic symbols. Then pop the keyboard out, but be careful with the ribbon cable connecting the keyboard to the motherboard, they are quite fragile.
e) The top part of laptop where the speaker and power switch panel is has to be loosened too, again be careful with the ribbon cable connecting this to motherboard.

This is enough to get to the port where the BT module cable will plug into motherboard if it's located underside of the keyboard.

Good Luck

Man.. this forum is just what I've looking for. I've been tryin to add BT features to my laptop since a year. I have the Maintenance & Service Guide, and I think that the part I need is the, 376651-001 Mini PCI wireless Bluetooth module (Broadcomm). My laptop is a Pavillion dv1315la, model EE644LA#ABM.

As happened to you, I called the HP tech service but they didn't even know what I was telling them, so far that they reccomended the USB BT...what a freaks man....

I wonder if you can confirm if the part I think is the one..I'll be very grateful for that..
I already tried the drivers and they worked fine, so my BIOS is unblocked.
Thanks!!

Mr. Anderson,

You are correct this is the BT part for laptop Pavillion dv1315a, it's for all models DV1300. If the Maintenance and Service Guide that you have shows this part number 376651-001 for the BT module then it is correct.

[Mr.Anderson]

Thanks RFZARCHER!!

I already buyed the part from notebookparts.com, since HP doesn't deliver in Argentina... you can only buy printers or laptops from this place...pathetic!!! I hope to receive it on 2 weeks...

Had you tried to update your Bios in order to add the "bluetooth enable" option? If this is possible, then the mod will be complete, your equipment will be the same as the original ones... I'll be on that, maybe there is a compatible version for my laptop.

I just updated my BIOS to the latest available at the HP site and did nothing special with it. In fact there was no BT radio enable or disable function in my BIOS System Config at all, it did not even appear in the BIOS.

HP Tech and HP online support told me that it should show up in the BIOS, but I think they probably just been trained on older hardware or reading out a pre-prepared text of answers to give to dumb customers who ask difficult questions :-)

All I needed to get the BT module to function was after installing the module, I downloaded and install the "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth technology version 4.00" software from the Software & Drivers site at HP.com.

When I installed that software and switched on the WiFi ON/OFF switch on front side of laptop, the BT module was detected automaticaly and then the software installer proceeded to install all the necessary Com ports, modem etc. It took about 2 minutes to be up and running. That is all, there was no need for my laptop to set anything in the BIOS.

This is a very helpful guide. I have added a link to it to the Repair4Laptop section free guides about adding internal BlueTooth support into laptops and notebooks .

[booyoo]

Hello Richard, thanks for an excellent tutorial. I checked the part number 412766-001 on HP store (US) and it is 106$ + shipping. Is this the same place you had it for 65$ and those guys raised the price or you got it from somewhere else? Thanks

edit - actually I just found out that the partsurfer page mentioned iit is at 65$ however when you proced to checkout, the price is magically 106$...

RFZARCHER:
I received the module last week, It came with only one model of cable, but was the one I needed so I had no trouble at all to install it. As in your case, the package hadn't the 2 screws for assembling the part, so I found the right ones in an older CD player, the 2 screws was in the fixing of the opening system engine.

Regarding the BIOS, I checked the version, and realize that I have the last one, so I did nothing at all. But when I started my laptop, once It recognize the module, I checked the BIOS config, and voilá!! There was the "bluetooth enable" option. Tried it and worked fine. So maybe the BIOS capabilitie depends upon the version and the notebook series.

ADVICE: on my Pavillion DV 1315, wasn't needed to remove the screen, I only removed the Wifi connectors, but followed the rest of the dissasembling right as indicated.

I was wondering if it really matters what the part number is. From what I've been searching for, it seems that old hp dv series bluetooth module looks the same despite their different part number. And out of curiousity, I was wondering would the bluetooth module designed for the dv1000 series work on a dv4000 as long as you install the right software. Does this seem possible for one designed for the dv1000 to work on a dv4000?

Yes this is quite possible for the BT Radio module to b ethe same, but I suspect where the difference might be is in the connector plug sizes connecting to the motherboard, as when I got the BT Module from HP, they included 3 types of pre-fab ribbon cable each had differnt sized connector on the end where it hooked up to the motherboard.

It takes roughly about 30 to 40 minutes to do this.
Complete Dismantling?, that depends on which model Laptop it is, as your details above did not mention the model.
Check the service & maintenance guide from HP for the model that applies to you.
No, the BT Module card is an add on card that provides Bluetooth features and has different connection port on the laptop logic board.
The 802.11 b/g card must still remain installed to run Wireless LAN.

[jack_mcdowell]

Hello, would the 397922-001 or some other module work on the dv6000? As someone mentioned these all seem to look the same and there are hp bluetooth modules that go on ebay for a lot less than 65$. And if they would work, is it possible to make the cable or would the conectors be impossible to match? Any ideas would be appreciated, as I'd like to add bluetooth functionality without spending the 65$,
Thanks, Jack
