At least you didn't say soldered to the Motherboard like a few people have said (which it isn't).Originally posted by jimthorn
Yeah, I think the iBook's internal Bluetooth module is directly attached to the motherboard, and can only be installed on Build-To-Order iBooks.
I think it should really be designed as a user-installable module or just included with all iBooks. Apple's website doesn't really make it clear that if you don't order it built-in, you're never gonna get it. I'm sure you're not alone.
I first heard about this issue here.
wow thanks for the info, i am one of those people who always said solder, just because apple made it clear that it can never be added. thats interesting to know. all he needs to find now is someone who will take theirs out (if thye have the balls) and then if he has the balls to put it in himself.Originally posted by Sun Baked

In the PowerBooks/iBook/iMac it's located plugged into an internal USB connection and the antenna -- and usually located in hard to reach (aka warranty voiding) locations.
This is the Module for the new DDR PowerBook 15...
Doesn't look like it's in a user accessible spot.Originally posted by TigerPRO
I have a flat panel iMac, is it also like the iBooks where you can't upgrade to an internal Bluetooth? Anyone know for sure?
