Rescue a Bluetooth From Laptop

second usage to Bluetooth module from a laptop designated to the bind.....

Step 1: What You Needed

a Bluetooth module from a old laptop(normally is in the up right or up center of the screen of the laptop,when you open the front part of the screen laptop)....

a USB cable with male part

necessary to soldering and some heat-shrink tubing

Step 2: How To.....

the module Bluetooth have a little connector(normally is withe).....cut this connector and preparing all wires

to soldering.....!!

you have 4 or five wires: use only red,black,withe and green....other...zack......

connect with a USB cable,with same colors( in all cables USB you have 4 colors:red,black,withe and green and

the usages is:black=ground;red=positive 5 volt;withe and green is for data).....

cover all connections with appropriate isolation.....

you have a possibility to place this component in a appropriate enclosure....free choice ....

on windows seven,at the moment of you connect in USB,windows search automatically all drivers to permit the usage on your PC.....

Step 3: Transfer Data..

use Bluetooth to transfer data,music or other from/to PC and all other compatibles machines......

have fun and thank's to watch my instructable.....

Is it possible for the WiFi module to be connected to an Raspberry pi zero ?

depending of OS installed on....

Does this work as a transmitter too?

[Alfonsoff]

Congratulations, the idea works. I have a board like that and according to your tutorial, I made the connections and it really worked. The Drive is from MS-HP and worked perfectly matching my smartphone. I did transfer files from PC to Android without problems.

Hey it works as a transmitter too right? I've been looking for a Bluetooth transmitter everywhere and the ones I found were quite expensive. If this thing acts like a transmitter (it should because laptop bt modules are transceivers) it'll be just perfect!

the pleasure of sharing.....

nice,have fun.. .... ... ... :)

Almost every laptop module I have encountered with USB capabilities runs on 3.3v, I assume this is due to Data +/- running at 3.3v, I forget why external USB devices are 5v. Anyways, make sure to verify voltage and convert with a regulator (like ams1117 3.3) if required so you don't blow the module.

You say 4 wires...but I see 5 in your picture. I get the concept and I want to do this but I just wanted to clarify that. Also my original laptop (hp) cable has all wires being the same color and is 7 wires. I've found pinouts showing them all but would I need the other wires at all?

where can I find 10-pin pinout for my salvaged BT253 ..

[pepy]

anyone know about the pin out of BCM92046 bluetooth module? from dell inspiron mini 1011

VDC is the 8-pin connector is 3.3V

My (TLZ-)BT253 has 10 pins :/ and I can't find the pinout

[seamster]

Great idea!

[alby21europa]

and the same job is possible for the WiFi module and the webcam...... :)

i want publish a instructable about the webcam.....

[HoangNM_1981]

you can share wifi module for me, can't you?

Thanks.

[alby21europa]

i dont have wifi module at the moment,sorry.....

[ThothLoki]

I know this is late but could you do one for the wifi module from a laptop? I have a few of them and have not found a way to convert them to usb

[alby21europa]

depending by the module,frequently are connected like usb(with diffrent connector but same type of cable +/-/data+/data-/sense(to switch on/off module) and a big black wire(to protect from interferences all cables)....

send me a module pic in HQ and color of wires....we can try....

[HoangNM_1981]

I made it OK

Thanks share,

Congratulations on the tip! It will be very useful.
