  • why have i lost my bluetooth on laptop?

    Posted by Chris Wool on May 5, 2008 at 11:44 pm

    i have lost the bluetooth on this laptop. it used to work fine with my phone , used to transfer mp3 stuff.
    now the computer denies all knowledge of it and the light indicator dont come on.
    its not listed in the system hardware nor will it go through install new hardware.
    is there a switch like on the wireless, i cant find one nor any mention in the book.

    help please new tunes to listen to

    Chris,

    Is it built-in bluetooth, or a dongle?

    My Toshiba has a tiny slide switch on the front right corner for wireless comms which would include the Bluetooth.

    cheers guys its a lenovo 3000 n100 built in.
    i thought the wireless switch only did that but no difference,
    its just as if somebody has taken it out so i will have to look and see if a connector has come off inside. i hate taking laptops to bits.
