Hello! Sorry for my English 🙂 I own a HP Compaq Elite 8300 USDT PC and I wanted to add Bluetooth support. I purchased a Wifi Card with Bluetooth: Intel (R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. But only Wifi is detected in the device manager, there is no Bluetooth at all (there are no unknown devices either). I read on the Internet that Bluetooth requires usb interface in mini pci-e. Accordingly, I have four questions:
1. Is there support for usb interface in mini pci-e?
2. Is it possible to purchase a Wifi + Bluetooth card that supports my PC?
3. Is there a setting in the BIOS for activating / deactivating Bluetooth?
4. Is there any white list in the BIOS for my PC?
Please do not offer me a USB Bluetooth adapter, I want a Wifi + Bluetooth card that supports my HP!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi
So...
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=QV997AV
tells us it was built with...
Wireless Interface 652165-001 PCIe TP Half MiniCard (HMC) 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN PCIe adapter module
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-compaq-elite-8300-ultra-slim-pc/5232866/model/5232867/manual... and the manual gives that as...
(http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03347207) not there.
https://harddiskdirect.co.uk/652165-001-hp-wireless-lan-card.html shows a picture.
AND this is the Intel page...
There seem to be physical differences, in the number of connections which may be the problem.

Hi, thank you very much for your research! I tried to follow your links in the usual way and in incognito mode, but it was unsuccessful 😞 Try to follow your links in incognito mode and correct your message, because it will be very useful for me and other owners of this computer. From your message , I realized that my computer has a slightly different connector pinout, which is why Bluetooth does not work, as I suspected. I hope you will soon complete your message so that I can find a suitable Wifi + Bluetooth Card for me. Thanks again for the quick answer!
