I am looking to install an Apple internal bluetooth module in an iBook G4/800. I made the mistake of not ordering it when I bought the iBook. Where can I find the module, and what does it take to install it?<BR>

Yes but its not for the faint of heart. The items consist of a Bluetooth Board, a Bluetooth antenna with attached cable a holder for the Bluetooth antenna and a cable between the motherboard and the Bluetooth board.<BR>

I tried to find the part numbers but haven’t been successful to date.<BR>

You can download the complete service manual for the iBook G4 (among other things) at the following website:<BR>
<BR>
<a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~strahm_s/manuals.html"><http://home.earthlink.net/~strahm_s/manuals.html></a><BR>
<BR>
And is described on pages 76-79.<BR>
<BR>
Please be aware that the nice person providing this service is no doubt a private individual and also therefore limited bandwidth...<BR>
<BR>
Be careful about what you are doing and realise that the warranty will no doubt be void if you start taking the iBook apart. I assume no responsibility.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps!<BR>
