Help needed building my own cable (For a Dell 350 Bluetooth card)

[sylar]

Before anything else I would like to say hello to everyone since this is my first post.

My mother tongue is not English, hence I would like to apologise in advance for any gramatical mistakes that surely will happen.

I own a Dell Inspiron 8600 (Almost 3 years old) and I would like to update it by installing a bluetooh card.

I have done some research and it seems quite easy.

​

The only problem is that I have got the card, but not the cable, and my laptop in particular requires this cable as well.

​

I tried buying it from eBay, but some sellers are asking as much as £10 ($20) for it, which I consider is a rip-off when I paid just £9 ($18) for the card.

​

Since it seems to be quite a simple cable I would like to know if I could build it myself.

I tried looking in the Hardware Book, but I could not find it there.

Anybody could let me know what sort of connector this cable is using and if they are easily obtainable?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance. :)

Yr english is just fine.
Maybe yr card was a bargain, but maybe it doesn't work so it it isn't. The risk is not in being ripped-off In My Humble Opinion...it's blowing the PC with some inferior part...why risk it?

It's risky enough buying from sellers you don't know...( rather than yr local PC Store)...
If you need the cable, buy it - - the time( hrs?) it takes to make one isn't worth your while and the risk of damage is too great - then you are nowhere!
