T61 Blu-Ray drive quesion, and Bluetooth problem.

#1 Post by SnareBeast » Wed Dec 10, 2008 9:22 am

Hello everyone!
I didnt want my first post to be a question, but like most... Sadly it is; My question is will this blu-ray drive fit and will it work in my T61(76641KU)??? here is the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827118009

Edit: if for some reason the link doesnt work here is the spec. model: Sony NEC Model BC-5500A

Also i just did a fresh install of vitsa ultimate, and now my bluetooth does not work... when i hit fn+F5 it does nothing, could someone point me to the link where the software is available to make this work again? thanks so much!

From the Sony webpage:
Dimensions 128mm x 12.7mm x 129mm
I.e., 12.7 mm height is too high for the T61. It needs to be 9.5mm height (and as far as I know, there is currently no such drive that will work in the T61 - though I once saw an announcement from Panasonic but it never materialized).
The drive might work in an Advanced Dock, but no guarantees.

thanks so much for your speedy reply! I really appreciate it. Alright so i have that figured out, would anyone happen to know how to get the bluetooth to work properly now.

Edit: *After installing vista ultimate from XP pro. Im pretty sure the bluetooth is somewhat bios related like wifi, but is there a reason i can turn it on with Fn+f5 anymore.
Thanks
