I actually had a dell tech come out yesterday to replace the mobo in a
D600. The bluetooth module had died and it was throwing up 'Unknown USB
module' errors. Only way to fix it was to replace mobo.

I'm glad $CLIENT had dell gold support. Sad thing is, the rest of their
office has the same model of laptop.

And yeah, if you're going to dance with the devil, at least dance with
the full devil. (xp pro vs home)
