X200 - Bluetooth function suddenly appeared??

#1 Post by g8tzl2004 » Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:12 pm

I assumed that my X200 did not have the Bluetooth option installed.

I had switched on Bluetooth in BIOS (and Saved and Exited) and then ran a diagnostic and it reported that No Bluetooth was installed. I used the X200 for about a week assuming there was no Bluetooth.

I then acquired a new "old" 4 cell battery (dated 2011) to replace the dead 6 cell battery. I decided to cycle the old battery to see how many hours I could get from the old battery (so far about 1 hour). On the 2nd cycle, the X200 closed down on its own as I was away from the X200. I attempted to power up with no power supply connected and got a BIOS " critical battery error". I connected the power supply and booted up...and then got a message saying that the Thinkpad Bluetooth with Enhanced Date Rate II driver was installing!!

When I now boot up, I now see less BIOS "wording" before Win 10 boots up....its so quick I can't read it :)....but maybe something had been set up in BIOS by the original corporate owner..and the critical battery error had somehow reset the BIOS and now Bluetooth works?? Any ideas?
