Hi, I have a Compaq Presario CQ57-229WM. It's not showing in the device manager that it has bluetooth, how would I go about installing bluetooth? Or is it even possible to install bluetooth on this model?
 
Makes sense, but does this laptop even have an internal place to plug one in? I had seen one online (though now I'm having a hard time finding it again) that looks like it would replace my wifi only antenna. If I'm understanding it right, its a combination bluetooth & wifi chip. I'm also not sure if my computer would properly accept it.
 
easier isn't always better. That's the obvious & easy solution, but I'm not adverse to doing the research & inquiring with others to see if I can do it the right way. If it's built in, I know it's there when I need it, it can't get separated & lost, can't get snapped in half. It would just be right where I need it.
