1219978 2011-07-29 22:57:00 Hi, i have a laptop with broken usb ports
it has blutooth. if i buy a bluetooth keyboard & mouse will they connect without the usb dongle or will they need this to connect?
thanks

1219979 2011-07-29 23:00:00 It it comes with a dongle, both probably need it to work. The BT maybe different from the onboard BT Speedy Gonzales (78)
1219980 2011-07-29 23:26:00 bugga. was hoping it would connect without and need the dongle for devices without bluetooth. Gobe1 (6290)
1219981 2011-07-29 23:31:00 Only thing to do take it to the shop ask the shop if you can test it. Before you buy it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1219982 2011-07-30 01:18:00 Aww crap it turns out the laptop doesnt have bluetooth :badpc:
It is such a good laptop i dont want to throw it out, except the damage of course
Keyboard is knackered by spillage, no bluetooth, no usb ports
I have a mission on my hands as you can see

It is my only option except the trash bin...

Laptop is a NEC P9110 core 2 duo, nvidia graphics hdmi, was going to use it to surf the internet on my tv but if i cant fix the usb ports (only 1 needed :dogeye:) then it is going in the bin

Does anyone knnow where i could buy replacement usb ports??

The small board i am holding has two usb ports on it....did have, sorry

EDIT #2 I have investigated pcmcia usb but it has pci-e and i cannot find any

1219983 2011-07-30 01:25:00 Look for a number or code on that part. If you can remove it. And see if you get anything in Google. There maybe spare parts around somewhere Speedy Gonzales (78)
1219984 2011-07-30 01:31:00 Yeah done that speedy
It is a MSI 1719B:VER0D

Google brings up a MSI 1719A at ebay but that is the wrong part unfortunately and at that price i would throw this out

Thanks for your help speedy btw :)

1219987 2011-07-30 02:10:00 www.trademe.co.nz Cheaper if you can wait for it to turn up. Or was that it doesn't have pcmcia? I have never heard of pcie slots like this on a laptop. Any if thisis any use: www.trademe.co.nz icow (15313)
