Hi!
I am trying to figure out what could be done here and what is the problem, I am pretty sure you guys will have some hints here.
I have an iMac that is an Educational model, that means no native bluetooth. I disassembled the mac just to find out the hardware is not there. So I bought the needed cables, the bluetooth card and assembled it back. I am pretty sure that it has to be working by now, but there is some sort of limitations on OS X. I tried reinstalling different versions, but that did not help, it may really be that OS X sees that this mac does not have bluetooth and just does not let it work. I get "no information" under the Systerm Report->Bluetooth. I tried resetting SMC and NVRAM. I tried adding a plist file from another iMac, it just refuses to work.
If it is tied to system ids or something, do you guys have any idea how to sort this out?
These are the details:
Order MC978LL/A Model A1311 (EMC 2496)
