I purchased a Dell Wireless 1510 N Wireless Half Height Mini Card and a 2.0 Bluetooth module with cable for DELL Mini 10V off of eBay. I also purchased a 2GB SODIMM from Newegg. This was one pain of an upgrade to perform. It was nothing like the upgrades to the Mini 9. The wireless card installed the same way it did on the Mini 9, but that is where the similarities begin and end. There are no little removable panels for the RAM on the Mini 10v.
To upgrade the RAM on the Mini 10v it was helpful to have access to the take apart manuals. To upgrade the RAM you have to remove the panel covering the wireless card, remove the antenna cables from the wireless card, remove the wireless card, remove the keyboard, remove the upper case, remove the RF shielding, remove the motherboard and turn it over. Now you have access to the RAM slot. No reverse that process until you get to the upper case. Insert the bluetooth module in the slot in the palm rest. Replace the upper case and then the keyboard, and install the new wireless card and attach the antenna cables. Replace the communication cover and reboot the machine.
Everything worked as expected and just like on the Mini 9 OS X recognized the upgrades as Apple branded products.
