Third BlueTooth failure in a year!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I've got a Latitude D600 which I've had about a year, and the
BlueTooth module has just failed for the third time. Each time I get
the "some unknown USB device is broken" error message, and I have to
disable the device to stop the continuous error messages (found a new
device, it's broken, BlueTooth is broken, etc).

The first time this happened, it was apparently due to poor connector
mechanicals on the motherboard, so I got a new motherboard and
installed it myself. The second time it went back to the 'depot' so I
don't know for sure what happened to it.

Now it's failed again, is there some known problem with D600s and BT,
or am I just unlucky, and is there any known long-term solution?

Thanks!

Normaly its due to a defective connector on the motherboard.
It might be the bluetooth-module, has it been replaced?

So there's no fix? What do I do when the warranty expires?
