HP Pavilion dv7-4190us Bluetooth installation

[martin11ph]

This model doesn't have Bluetooth installed. I am planning to buy an internal module for this device. What do I search for on the web specifically to get one that is compatible with my unit? Thank you.

Hi:

You will need to order the bluetooth module that is listed in your service manual.

Please see chapter 3, page 25.  You will need to order this one.

For use only with HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC 40xx computer models 537921-001

You will also need to order the cable...The Bluetooth module cable is available using spare part number 605323-001.

I hope you are ready for some major disasembly to install it.  See Chapter 4, page 87, and all the other pages necessary from there.

Parts can be ordered on line at the site below:

The cable cost more than 2x as much as the bluetooth module!

Thank you very much. You are right. It is more expensive.

You're very welcome.

As an alternative solution, you may want to purchase an external USB bluetooth adapter. They are relatively small and can fit in your pocket or notebook case.

Just pop it in a usb port when you need it.

I already have one. Was just curious about the cost of the internal one. Would love to have one without plugging in anything. Thanks again!

Anytime!
