You can easily upgrade your Acer Aspire 3680 and install internal Bluetooth module at home, without taking it to a repair shop or service center if you read through this guide.
Installation is actually pretty easy for the Acer 3680. All you need to do is to remove the memory door panel, exposing a white 6 pin socket. All you need to do is plug the connector into the socket (it only goes in one way). You can remove the backing of the double-sided tape and stick it on some part of the motherboard.
If you don’t know where to find a new Bluetooth module for your laptop, try here.
UPDATE: Here’s another guide for the same model: Upgrading Acer Aspire 3680 memory.
The Acer 3680 has two memory slots that takes DDR2-533/PC4200 or DDR2-667/PC5300. Because the Celeron M has a FSB of 533 Mhz, you’re limited to 533 Mhz even if you use DDR2-667. The computer typically come with a single 512 Mb module and can accept up to a maximum of two 1 Gb module for a total of 2 Gb. In this case I’m putting 1GB additional ram.

Bryan Harrs,
I’m not sure if internal Bluetooth module is located in the same place on your Acer 5570. Just in case, follow this link and take a look at other Acers. It’s possible that one of them is similar to your laptop.
