Bluetooth device not found

[Brad]

On my new to me T43p I am attempting to setup my PDA to sync with BT.

No joy only BT device not found. I made sure the radio is on with Fn F5. It wasn't at first and I thought that was my problem. I found out about that by searching this forum. I didn't find anything about this next problem after searching the forum though.

There are three BT devices listed in device manager.

BT device (personal area network)
BT device (RFCOMM protocol TDI)
BT LAN access server driver

Any thoughts or personal expierences?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried pressing Fn + F5?

Thanks Andy.

Yes, as I stated, in the second paragraph above.

Any other thoughts?

is the bt card physically present ?? (silly but possible)
I had it on some kind of ACER.... but with WiFi, it was installed and seemed to work properly, despite it couldn't see any nets and wasn't physically there ;] juzst windows

Although I believe you have a newer bluetooth card than I have in my T42, your solution might be similar to the one I just went through. See my post below.

Here is the driver matrix for your ThinkPad: Drivers and software - ThinkPad T43, T43p

Thank you for your replies.

I downloaded the new driver and was able to have my PDA recognized.

I am not 100% working yet. I cannot get my Palm to sync just yet I think I am close though.

I was setting up a new ThinkPad for a customer and when I powered up the PDA the new ThinkPad noticed it right away. I think I am missing whatever that ThinkPad has which is a T40.

Thanks for your help....

Thanks for all your help.

Downloaded the big 71 mb file. Installed and now all is working nicely. This is a fairly new file dated February 2007.

Thanks again...
