I'm doing a clean (format and install full version) install of Vista onto my T60p ...

The driver for the Bluetooth Radio is enabled and seems to be working ...

In device manager I'm getting two unknown Bluetooth devices

Any ideas please ?

Hi, I have the same problem. When Iam start the OS Vista, an error apperar: bluetooth peripheral device - it can't find any driver.

I updated my system (about 300MB update

), I downloaded manualy latest drivers and firmware from lenovo, but nothing helps.

Because of that, I cannot pair my T60 with Nokia 6110 Navigator and to Net.

I also have a T60p. When I first got my laptop, I couldn't figure out how to enable the built in bluetooth. After fiddling around for a while, I found that in order to use the built in bluetooth, you have to physically switch on the wireless switch (under the palmrest on the left hand side), and press fn+f5 and choose enable both wireless and bluetooth. Then the bluetooth driver will install itself.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this is obvious, but after that I have the anoying error. I searched google and a lot of people has this same problem, but no working solution yet

Well under Vista I have been able to install both a Bluetooth headset and a bluetooth mouse. It simply works for me...

Have you done for Vista both the Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Firmware update first and then also the
Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows Vista?

yes, two times. Firstly I updated drivers before firmware, now I uninstall all, update firmware again, uninstall and install that huge 60MB update and still Vista at start cannot recognize bluetooth

Okay lets try checking a few things here, if you'll bear with me.

First Right click on the Bluetooth icon on the taskbar in the bottom right hand corner. Click on show Bluetooth devices, (should be the second option) Under options (tab) what options are checked? Click on the hardware tab, then click on "ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Dat..." to highlight it and then on properties. On the new window, click on Advanced (tab) you should see a Manufacturer Id, what is it? and also a HCI version, and a LMP version what are they?

When you installed the driver, it tells you that you need to reboot. Did you after un-installing the old driver and before installing the new one? This is important, you can't cheat on this step.

OK Everything looks good so far. Have you downloaded and installed the Bluetooth Data Suite [MA-730/MA-730G] for Nokia 6110 Navigator? It sounds as if that might be your problem? You've got a Phone (I believe) rather than a headset, or a device with simple built-in drivers. Your device can connect in a number of ways, over the same connection.

I didn't install my phone PC suite yet, because I hope that is not the problem. Simply when I turn on the Bluetooth on the T60, error appears. I even tryed install Broadcom Vista driver manualy from the broadcom (wildcom) site, but the installer said that I have't compatible device with the driver.

That suite has the drivers your phone needs. The drivers Vista can't find. I believe you'll need to install it or extract it and point Vista at the drivers contained in it. It's the same principle here as for a Pocket PC device, the drivers for them are in ActiveSync (Or Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista) which is a part of their software.

So I installed the PC suite, but the device is stil unknown. Again, this is not the problem about the phone, then the Vista cannot alocate bluetooth drivers.

My software to GPRS connection is set that the bluetooth is on COM4 port, but in device manager there are still "!" icon at the bluetooth peripheral device item.

I used this software from T-mobile on other DELL(IrDA), another DELL (bluetooth and XP) and on my PC with USB bluetooth(xp) without any problems.
