hi,

hello,

i have T60p w/ factory bluetooth option, no BT found (under Xp preload or other W7 drive i was going to swap in).

installed all updates, updated to latet BIOS, nada. no BT device found, no BT radio under FN+F5, all the usual stuff fails.

weird thing is i have NO "I/O port access" menu AT ALL under BIOS security. that is where i would enable BT (if it is in fact installed and not dead).

as in this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-a ... ta-p/49160... even if there is no BT, there are other items under that I/O menu, like wireless, USB, etc. how come i don't have an I/O menu and how do i fix this???

this sucks. i have a 2nd T60p machine (this one w/o BT option), and that one has no I/O port access menu in BIOS security either. what's going on?

thanks in advance.

BT is enabled under Config/Network/Internal Bluetooth Device.
To check this, play with the T60 BIOS simulator: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail. ... MIGR-64884
Also check that it is ON using Fn/F5.

T60 models don't have "I/O port access" in the BIOS security menu. The knowledge base article that you refer to describes T400 and T500 and newer models.

indeed, it was under config/netwk. had a lot of other problems, windows update crashed (fixed by updated intel storage manager install), lenovo BT mouse would not connect. finally got everything working. thanks for the help.
