This tutorial will help to install an internal Bluetooth v2.0 adapter into your Acer Extensa 5420 notebook. I think this tutorial might work for Extensa 5620 notebook series too, but I’m not 100% sure.
For this upgrade you’ll need a compatible 4-pin internal Bluetooth adapter, you can find it here. Make sure to contact the seller and confirm that you are getting a compatible adapter.
The Bluetooth connector is located on the motherboard under the touchpad and the author explains how to install the Bluetooth adapter without taking the whole thing apart.
Static electricity can kill your laptop. I recommend wearing an anti-static wrist strap while working with internal parts of your laptop.

Hey, I’m the guy with fat fingers. I broke the wires on my bluetooth adapter when I closed up the laptop. I had the wires sitting on a screw hole by mistake. I bought another adapter and was more surgical in my efforts, and voila, it works! I put mine inside an Acer Extensa 4420. Stuck the adapter above the motherboard, not on the board, close to the motherboard battery. It was not easy, but I did not like having the bluetooth switch that was not functional.
