Thinkpad T60 Bluetooth Issue

#1 Post by chsks5 » Thu Dec 26, 2013 11:57 pm

Hi Folks,

I am currently having an Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T60 of 2007 year make. I have installed Windows 7 with SP, unfortunately I am unable to use the Bluetooth functionality ( which was functional prior to the new installation ).

Please Note :-
1. I have Switched On the the Wireless Switch located on the front side of the Laptop.
2. When I press Fn+F5, I could only able to see Wireless Turn On/Off option,but not Bluetooth one's.
3. Bluetooth option is enabled in the Boot.

I would be much glad if anyone of you could assist me out, PLEASE.

Sincerely,

Santosh

probably your machine doesnt have a bluetooth adapter ... you will have to buy bluetooth daughter card ...

Have you installed Access Connections and Hotkeys? These should allow you to enable BT by pressing Fn+F5.

did you download and reinstall Bluetooth w/ enhanced data rate software / Win7 version?-

I would not expect that Bluetooth would enable without this.

You may also want to check the status of your system devices and see what else you need drivers for. I know when I put Win 7 on my R52 I still needed to address some system device issues manually.
