n100: problem with bluetooth,fingerprint, & sound
n100: problem with bluetooth,fingerprint, & sound
i have a n100 3000 that had vista business on it. I downgraded to win xp pro, and updated the driver on lenovo website. So far, i can't get my bluetooth, fingerprint reader, and the sound;when i plug in headphones the laptop sound is still on. I googled, and the sound problem could only find it solved for linux, and nothing on the other 2.

- Automatically update drivers with ThinkVantage System Update.
If I understand you correctly then that seems like a hardware issue to me or speakers being disabled from the Windows Volume / Sound options.havieri23 wrote:snip....when i plug in headphones the laptop sound is still on.....snip
