E530 Bluetooth

#1 Post by ShellieACarlson » Wed Jun 11, 2025 5:53 am

Hello,
I bought an E530 for twenty bucks with the thought of seeing how good it can get. I am pleasantly surprised. I installed a 500gig SSD running Windows 10, and the thing ROCKS! I have 16gig of ram on it's way and will be ordering an I7 tomorrow. My question for the group is, is there a wifi/bluetooth card that will work for the E530? Bluetooth would be pretty cool on it.
White I have your attention, would the same card work for a W500?
Thanks,
Shellie

Hi, and welcome to the forum. :)

All stock WiFi cards for E530 had integrated Bluetooth. Didn't yours come with one?

Thanks for the reply.
It doesn't seem to be able to find it. Was thinking about card 7260.HMWWB.N.

Sure, now!
I opened device manager now and it says, "bluetooth on" and connects right to a set of headphones! Dumb thing!
Thanks for your help though. :lol:
