Where can I find a detailed bluetooth module installation guide for an acer aspire 5100 laptop
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here's a link to some disassembly photos to give you an idea of what you are in for if you choose to use the module.

And here is a link to the service tech manual I happen to have for that model. I uploaded it as a zipped up pdf to my web server so you could grab it. See chapter 3. It gives step by step disassembly instructions with photos, and addresses the bluetooth module about halfway through the disassembly.

A usb bluetooth dongle would be much easier, and safer. Cheers!

I have the service manual. unfortunately it does not tell you where to install the bluetooth module, how many pins it is, where on the motherboard, or even how to disassemble it.

Update for the link to the Acer Aspire tech manual. I have changed domain names, so the manual has a new address and the previous link no longer works.
