If the module works in other Dells, that would indicate that Firmware Flash was successful,
in the past, others have 'trashed' the module, by rebooting before flash was done.
"...During the install it constantly requests to enable the blluetooth by pushing Function+F2, even thought the light is on, it does not work. ..." (This is a symptom of another Stack/Driver in control.)
