Trying to find a way to install bluetooth drive to my notebook. Missing button in connections.

Hi:

Your notebook does not come with built in Bluetooth networking according to the HP product specs, or that feature would have been listed in the Wireless Connectivity specification section.

The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with an Atheros AR9285 802.11 b/g/n (1x1) Wi-Fi adapter which is a single band, Wi-Fi only adapter, not a combination Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter.

Since your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other model Wi-Fi card from working, your only option for Bluetooth would be to purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Concisely to the point. I´ll need to purchase a USB Bluetooth drive for my notebook. Checking out best brands on Amazon. 🙂

Also, I´ll need to replace my notebook battery. It´s been retired. It only works plugged in. Tx.

You're very welcome.

The parts list I posted yesterday indicates that you need this battery for your notebook.

593553-001

Battery (Primary) - 6-cell lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), 2.2Ah, 47Wh (MU06047)

HP does not sell the battery you need anymore, so the only suggestion I can offer would be to do a search on eBay or Amazon by the HP part number (593553-001) and find a compatible aftermarket battery that references that part number.

Thanks again. I´ve checked, and the price tag varies from about $140-230 on ebay. Not sure it´s worth it at this point. But I will look into it in the next couple of months...

I really like HP products. Had been daydreaming about the new HP tablet to be launched in December.;)

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Christmas is coming...😊
