T520 no luck connecting to Bluetooth speaker

#1 Post by lemonstar » Sat Oct 31, 2015 12:13 pm

Good to see the forums back up again!

I installed the hotkey integration features (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... vu39ww.exe) and Lenovo Access connections (http://support.lenovo.com/en_IN/downloa ... D=DS013683)and now get the popup window when I press Fn+F5 but I have no idea what to set/click on, enable etc to connect to a bluetooth speaker that is powered up and flashing - can someone explain EXACTLY what I need to do. The device was picked up and appears when I use the blue "B" Bluetooth icon from the popup from the right of the taskbar and "Show Bluetooth Devices" but I don't know how to get the devices to pair - it was really simple with my Sony Z1 Android tablet and my Sony mobile phone to connect to this speaker but I've spent hours on this today to try and get my T520 connected and I've got nowhere - why on earth is it so much more complicated with Windows 7 Pro/Lenovo than Android? It took 20s with the phone and tablet to get connected.

The speaker is this one:-

My device (iClever Bluetooth speaker) has been added - it appears in the list of BT devices but nothing has been added to the Soiund...Playback tab - what does this mean? Is there a way around this? Can I manually add the speaker to this list? Is this the problem that needs solving?
TIA
Neil
