Add internal bluetooth

My AO751h came without bluetooth. Can this be added ?

I know I can use the USB port for that, but I am looking for an internal solution.

I you search for "mini acer pcie" on ebay you get a lot of listing like this:

A mini pci express card with wifi and bluetooth is how I would go about adding bluetooth. just plug it in underneath the touch pad where the current wifi adapter is and connect the mini RF connectors and install the drivers.

I havn't tried adding an aftermarket bluetooth/wifi card yet, so try it at your own risk. has anyone tried it???

there is a way you could add the blutooth adapter mentioned in the above thread, but I'm not sure if you would have all the right connectors or an antenna

 

Have a look at my thread - I did it with BT/Wi-fi card but it is not a straight swap....

Be aware the 751 use a HALF SIZE PCIe card. Using a PCIe card as linked to earlier in this thread will require you to do a modification inside the case. I think someone described it with pictures here somewhere. Just be careful of voiding any warranties.

 

The modification is shown on my thread linked - wave bye bye to the warranty. Having said that I have modded ll my eeePC's and all are still in use with the new owners!

 

anyone know if they make a 802.11 n + bluetooth or is it just the g?

 

I'm looking to do this too. I got mine with the Costco configuration last July.

 

I know these aren't internal, but they are pretty tiny so you'd barely notice they were attached. Just a thought for those who are shy about messing with their laptops. About $15. I haven't personally tested this model, by the way.
