Reinstall the Hotkey utility. You will need the use Fn+F5 to turn on the BT card.

Delete all your drivers (including WiFi) plug the LAN cable and install windows updates do not download anything from Lenovo website until win updates will install all the drivers.

is there a way to uninstall them all at once... other than doing them 1 at a time..

Re: Missing Bluetooth in device manager/icon/tray windows 7
I've got no idea, this method might not work also, because once you delete hardware it's going to be recognized by Win7 again and it's going to install old drivers automatically. The best thing to do is, a fresh install of Win7 and then use the method that I mentioned in previous post. Again DO NOT download any drivers from Lenovo. run the win update keep running and rebooting your Tablet until you'll get all the drivers to be recognized by Win. Only after this install the think Vantage utility or any other software.thebigalphamale wrote: is there a way to uninstall them all at once... other than doing them 1 at a time..

that sounds good... ill do a complete reinstall of windows 7... hopefully my volume up, down, mute buttons will work as well..Sindbad wrote: I've got no idea, this method might not work also, because once you delete hardware it's going to be recognized by Win7 again and it's going to install old drivers automatically.

what if anything from lenovo should I download after all the windows 7 updates...such as the thinkpad programs... I am thinking that I dont really need/want any... but maybe there is something that is not optional that windows 7 updates or the windows 7 OS cant handle on its on...
thanks for all the help
