My friend's wife just purchased him a Dell Mini 10, and he was asking me about adding bluetooth to it. If ANYONE in Dell Mini 10 land has any advice about adding bluetooth, please, let me know. Part numbers, phone number of someone to call at Dell to order the kit/part, maybe some handy pictures as fall as pulling apart the thing as well? Anything...I'm dying here. |

The part number Dell gave me for the Bluetooth kit (module and cable) for the Mini 10 is: R859N BUT, they have been out of stock so I can't promise it is the correct one. They already sent me the wrong one (RM948-wrong one) so getting the right one seems to be a crap shoot until someone here does in fact get the correct part installed. Installing it requires taking a lot of the Mini apart. The service manual gives details. Not too hard if you take it slow. An alternative, at least for now is one of those "world's smallest" bluetooth dongles. I use one and it works great. Only sticks out of the side about a quarter inch or so.

I went to a Wal Mart and found a bluetooth adapter for $20 / US. It's very tiny and barely sticks out of the side. It also works fine with the Win XP stack so you don't have to install drivers if you don't want to. I think the brand is iogear. |

Has anyone ever gotten the part from Dell and gotten it to work properly? |

Forgot to post the follow up - the seller actually shipped pretty quickly, and then I didn't have time to install it for a while. Anyway, as rm1515 said, it installs quickly and works perfectly... J |

I have a new Mini 1012 and want to add the bluetooth module. The Ebay listing has expired. Can you please re-post the model number or the EBay store of the seller? |
