I tried to do it first without following the but could not get the module in place with the screen on. It is true, I do not take laptops apart often and I have little experience upgrading them.

It was a case of: Remove keyboard Remove around 10 screws from bottom of laptop Unclip front Plug in bluetooth card Clip togehter and replace screws and keyboard There is no necessity to remove the screen. The case can be opened more than enough to insert the bluetooth card without even having to totally remove the palm rest. Obviously you're not a techie that is used to replacing components without pulling the whole appliance apart. In all honesty here it took me a few minutes to plug in the card. It was a case of:

But I am still interested in upgrading my Inspiron 8600 too. So where did you find the upgrade module. I have searched Dell's website and although the whole Internet (so I found your Website) but I could not find it. Or could you maybe tell me the price of the module that I can decide, if effort is worthwhile. At last sorry for my bad English, I am from - the old Europe ;-) - Germany. Regards, Manuel Hey Aaron,

Last time I got a Dell laptop that disassembled it refused to boot afterward. (And you got a Dell Rep on the phone? And you didn't get "disconnected"? Twice.) Well, it could be worse.
