Some 2133 models come without the integrated bluetooth module. Are you sure your model actually comes with the bluetooth module installed?

The bluetooth module and the Wireless LAN module are both controlled by the switch on the right front side of the Mini-note. If the WLAN and BT are Off, the LED is orange. If the WLAN and BT are On, then the LED is blue.

Check if the device manager has "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth Wireless Technology"

nak3deye14, uninstall that driver and use these ones...

i'm not that sure about my HP 2133 model.. i have checked in the main page the HP 2133 Mini-note PC KR922UT with 512 MB 667 Mhz DDR2 RAM which my HP2133 has.. but that model only has 4 GB solid state flash drive.. mine has 120 GB 5400 rpm SATA Hard Drive. i have checked device manager, i found Bluetooth bus enumerator (manufacturer - broadcom) does it mean i have bluetooth installed in my notebook?

Based on the HP Specs here, your model does not come with the Bluetooth module.

I believe that in the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Emulator is simply a software driver which you have already installed. Is there a 2nd line right below that says: " HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth 2.0 Wireless Technology"?



There are two ways to make sure. First way is to uninstall the Bluetooth driver you installed, then check Device Manager to see if there are any question marks for devices that do not have drivers. If there are no question marks, then it's a good bet that you don't have Bluetooth installed.

The second way is to open it up and check. For the 2nd method, see this thread for links to the official HP videos on how to remove/install the bluetooth module.

Thats good advice.

If yours doesnt have BT integrated, then get one of those nano USB bluetooth dongles, which you can permanently leave plugged into the 2133.

Thanks a lot people.. actually i do have a USB bluetooth.. i just want to make sure if i do have it installed in my notebook.

just one question.. if my notebook model is is HP 2133 Mini-Note PC (KR922UT), how come that i have 120gb hard drive? it only has 4gb flash module based on its specs. i bought my notebook brand new (its 3 months old now) and i haven't upgraded it since then.


HP 2133 Mini-Note PC (KR922UT)

- 512 ram
- 4gb flash module

my hp2133 notebook:

- 512 ram
- 120gb hard drive

I have no idea why yours would have the 120GB HDD instead of the 4GB SSD if you bought it new. As far a I know, HP has different model numbers for different models regionally. e.g. the model numbers for the US are different for Europe and are also different for Asia.

Did you buy it from an authorised HP dealer? Maybe you could go back to the shop and ask..
