Advice needed on installing bluetooth module in M-2626u

Now that my one year warranty has expired, I want to do some upgrades. I've found the bluetooth module I need (BCM92045NMD). I haven't disassembled my laptop yet. Can some give me some clues on where the module should be installed and the location of pins for the cable on the motherboard? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

It should be next to the Wireless Module (or on it) inside the comp. If it is designed for it, you should be able to turn it on via the wireless switch and a FN key.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I finally mustered up some courage and disassembled my laptop--twice! I discovered that the bluetooth socket is located on the motherboard under the right portion of the keyboard and palm rest. Finding the right cable was a challenge. I think I was able to hunt down one that should work. I ordered it off ebay. The seller came highly recommended. I should receive it in a couple of weeks because it's coming from China. I will report back on how things turn out. If it works, I'll see if I can include some pics to help someone else.

Thanks again qhn and MichelleG
