Acer 3680

[Ronna Bordelon]

Installationis actually pretty easy for the Acer 3680. All you need to do is to remove the memory door panel, exposing a white 6 pin socket. All you need to do is plug the connector into the socket (it only goes in one way). You can remove the backing of the double-sided tape and stick it on some part of the motherboard. In my case, I just tucked into a crevice of the case.

It seems an adapted bluetooth dongle, it would be interesting removing for a moment the black protection to take a photo, and to mark where any of the 5 wires connect on both the sides. It could help the do it yourself maniacs to connect internally a cheap bluetooth dongle.

I had success in connecting internally a modified usb bluetooth dongle to CN19, it works perfectly and it turns on and off with the frontal button with blue light.

The pinout of CN19 is, counting 1 the side in direction of the screws and 6 the side of memory modules:

An USB Bluetooth dongle usually has four points to be connected to the USB port. Is this possible to connect the dongle with the help of its four points to the six points Bluetooth connector in the mother board?

After spending all day trying to get the Aspire 3680 BlueTooth to work, I found this page from Google. I opened the memory hatch and sure enough, NO BlueTooth! Thanks for the link to OldEgg, my 3680 will have BlueTooth very soon.

I believe the problem I had was the Windows Vista P.O.S. Operating System the protects the user from themselves by preventing an install of any software (drivers included) by disabling the Administrator (or equivalent) user privileges.

I just bought the part and report later.

My question is about warranty.

I can see how adding this compnent voids the warranty guidelines, but I was told that adding user based RAM to a laptop, by a uesr, would void the the warranty. This was at WorstBuy. Not like I am trying to HJ the thread..Any comments?

I just got mine. It has the little 6 pin white connector on the wire, all I have to do is plug it into the slot on the MB and I was just checking back here before doing it, to see which driver etc. This is a plug and play process hopefully. Will let you know when I am all back up and running. I have already had a BT dongle running with a mouse. I am NOT uninstalling that driver. I also had installed all the Acer BT dongle driver when I was attempting to get the non-existant internal BT working. But, then I found this page.

I tried installing an internal bluetooth module in my Aspire 5720. The socket for it is underneath the handrest at the front of the unit, next to a larger connector that links to the USB and IR port. However, unfortunately it does not appear to work. No bluetooth device when pressing the bluetooth button and no hardware showing in device manager. Looks like Acer disabled the port on my machine to prevent this being fitted.

I also got one BT dongle at 3$ plus 2$ shipping.

It was a nightmare to make it work , with the BlueSoleil software.

I had to find a hacked latest version, so to make it work with out getting blue screens of death on my XP Pro SP3 Desktop.

If you open up your computer, you can check if you can find an internal bluetooth connector. Most of them are essentially usb connector so if you are tech incline, you can probably wire something to a USB dongle or find am internal bluetooth with similar connector.

But there was no such connector. Only available connector is one of two identical where the first is already used for a card named Intel WLAN. Theese connectors are about 30 mm wide with atleast 30 super small pins in one row. Exactly a connector one would expect for something like a LAN card, but way overkill for a bluetooth device I would think.

The 4 pin Bluetooth socket is already mounted on the motherboard next to the wireless module. As the socket is already connected to the pc with wires, all I had to do was use a short 4 pin lead and push the module in to an adjacent space.

hi, ihave an aspire 5738 DZG with the same problem. i have obtainened a broadcom module from ebay. i have windows 7, did you need to download extra drivers for the module. any further advice would be very welcome. regards. steve mobley.

Remove the HD/WiFi cover and look toward the front of the machine behind the WiFi module, there is your connector. Simply slide the WiFi module out and you have (all be it very restricted) access to the BT1 4 pin socket. Gonna order my module now.

Just want to share with my visitors / readers about a recent upgrade that I have done on my Acer Laptop model 3680-2682. The Acer 3680 laptop transformation continues, so far I have upgraded the memory (RAM) from standard 512MB to 1.6GB of RAM now, and then I toasted Windows Vista causes it sucks, and installed Windows XP SP2.

Recently, as the title of this article suggest, I have replaced the CPU processor of this laptop from a single core and slow Celeron M 440 1.83Mhz with 1MB Cache to a much much faster Intel Core Dual T2250 (Yonah Dual core) CPU processor running at 1.73Mhz and with 2M cache. Both CPU processor uses socket type M or socket M, so once I got the laptop open it was just a simple matter of popping out the old Celeron M 440 processor and dropping in the replacement Core Dual T2250 processor.
