Save a external USB port from Bluetooth Dongle..!!!!

Hey.. guys... Let us see another idea.. Simply it is to make your Desktop Bluetooth enabled without using any rear/front USB ports but still by using a cheap USB Bluetooth dongle..

Even somebody got the idea.. i guess.. the smell of a hot soldering iron..
Let us start..

Basics



 Use the extra available USB internal headers on a motherboard (refer mobo manuals). Nowdays all mobos have plenty of such headers.. but rarely used by any user.. So...

Ingrediants needed.
1. A female USB port.. (screw some friend of yours having a Pentium 2 or 3  PC. )
2. Wire harness of old PC speaker and front pannel connector (u r again lucky to have such a friend).
3. A small lined PCB. (Cut it around with just 4 lines at a length of 2 cm.. )
4. The usuals.. obviously the Iron, solder paste, solder lead etc...

Design Methodology

Solder the 4 wire harness on the 4 lines of PCB. Understand the board connectors from the skteches. Also understand the four copper contacts of PCB port. You may damage the system if you mistakely solder the pins. Use internet sources to know about standard USB headers and USB ports.

Now connect this properly on any of internal header(be cautious about the pin connections).. Connect your dongle at other end. Glue it properly. Close the computer case. Boot up the Desktop. Install the drivers for the bluetooth hardware... See.. your computer is saved....


So now you are geek.. Boast to friends about the onboard bluetooth functionality of your exclusive motherboard. (keep the cabinet closed.... :) )..

Bluesoleil Dongles i prefer because they are simple to install and use...


And friends.. shoot up some doubts if any...
