How To Turn On Bluetooth on a X31?

#1 Post by Mr.Marui » Fri Jan 25, 2008 3:00 am

Hey guys, the vender I bought my X31 from advertised that it comes with bluetooth.

But when I click on the configuration icon, it says "bluetooth device not found, please check to ensure the devices is on"

So I'm not sure how to turn it on, assuming there really is a bluetooth card in there.

Thanks

What's the 7 character Product number of the thinkpad (can be found via PC-Doctor or on the bottom of your thinkpad)?

What happens when you press Fn + F5? Do you see a button on the lower middle of the LCD bezel? Are the drivers installed?

Below are some troubleshooting tips:

When I do FN + F5 it just has the radio option on/off but when I toggled it, all it did was turn on/off my wireless 2200 Intel internet card.

Tawbook says it didn't come with Bluetooth.

You can open up your thinkpad to see if the user upgraded it just in case.

If you don't like opening up your machine then give Belarc a try.

I ran Belarc, did control F in firefox to search for the phrase "blue" and all it could find on that whole results page was the software for bluetooth. No bluetooth under hardware.

:cry:
