Install bluetooth on Lenovo G570

[prodriguez32]

Hi, i recently purchased a Lenovo G570 that does not have a Bluetooth card installed although some of the G570's do. I would like to purchase and install one- what should i do?Please Help.

Rather you went for a Bluetooth Dongle that just plugs into one of the USB ports, instead of trying to add a card into the laptop.

edit - withdrew my answer. Apparently Lenovo uses some form of internal USB bluetooth adapter

From their specifications sheet:
Bluetooth 2.1 wireless + EDR, USB2.0

Thanks for the suggestion but i don't want to have usb port take up by a bluetooth dongle. There has to be a card that i can install. Ive been looking through the Lenovo Forums however others have posed the same question with similar answers to yours. There has to be a way.

There is a way of course, you have PCMCIA cards available.... but you laptop lacks a PCMCIA slot.
Then comes the internal integrated ports, you might just need to open up your laptops backside and see which slots are empty and then look for a BT compatible card.
