Adding bluetooth to a Studio 1555 laptop

Hi,

I can't get in contact via web/email to Dell as my service tag doesn't get recognised on the wesbite, and the auto detect doesn't work

I have a Studio 1555 laptop and want to add bluetooth to it 

I have found this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121029707103?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

and this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140891777174?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

Model numbers 0P560G and 0M960G

Anybody know which one I need and whereabouts I need to check inside the laptop to see if I have the slot available? I am capable of doing this sort of stuff as I have built my own PC, just don't normally do anything to laptops (other than install an illuminated keyboard in this)

Will it work if I just add the module and install the driver?

Thanks! :)

They'll work, but it's a whole lot simpler to use a micro USB adapter - you won't have to disassemble the system, and you will get a much more up to date bluetooth adapter as well.  They're so small now you can leave them permanently connected.

I would go with a micro-USB bluetooth adapter - it's more up to date on hardware support and far easier to install.

Ahh okay ... I did know about those USB adapters but thought it would be nice to add the feature properly if it wasn't too expensive

I didn't want to spend much more than around £10 so I was wondering what would be better, the genuine Dell solution linked above or a below £10 USB adapter?

Thanks for the reply
