Problem with Bluetooth in x61s

I bought 2 laptops x61 (7674-65G) and x61s (7666–36U) in the USA. There is bluetooth in x61s, but there is no in x61. Problem is that x61s doesn't recognize bluetooth. Fn+F5 show only Wireless.
I removed bluetooth dongle from x61s and install it in x61 - it's OK. Bluetooth dongle is working fine in x61, but not in x61s.
Any ideas will be helpful for me.
Thanks,
Alex

Привет!
I couldn't find where in BOIS turn Bluetooth on. Я сейчас грешу на южный мост, но это как-то уж совсем грустно будет.

BIOS, OS, and driver versions are all the same?

Yes, the same. I think this is south bridge problem.

I doubt very much that the X61/X61s have any Southbridge problems. That stopped with the T4x models!
Get some compressed air and clean out the Bluetooth connectors on both card and motherboard.

Motherboard changed. Bluetooth is working fine. It was really south brige fault.

Quite strange for it to be the south bridge's fault considering the bluetooth module is connected via a cable in the monitor!

But monitor cable connected to the motherboard. Bluetooth is internal USB device such as touch-pad, camera.
The fact is after replacement motherboard bluetooth is OK.
