I have a Lenovo T500 (2242) laptop on which I clean installed Windows 8 Pro. It does have the bluetooth hardware inside, and that worked fine in Vista and Windows 7, though I needed Lenovo's 'Access Connections' software to turn on the bluetooth radio. And by this I mean actually turn it on so that the OS could see it and use it; if the radio was turned off via Access Connections (specifically the included FNF5 utility), then neither the OS nor the rest of Access Connections even knew the card was present. There is no hardware switch specific to this. There's a switch for turning WiFi on and off, which I keep in the 'on' position at all times.
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T410 and i have a problem with bluetooth. My little brother bought the same computer and the bluetooth works fine on his. But i cannnot seem to find the bluetooth device. Like its not there. I went to BIOS security I/O and Bluetooth was enable there. I then installed ThinkPad Hotkey for this computer and even tried removing the software and installing again but when i do the shortcut FN+F5 nothing happends.
I have also cheked device manager to see if there are any bluetooth device connected but its not listed. Here is a picture: (Its not in english but bluetooth isnt listed) I cant seem to find a bluetooth driver for T410 that works with windows 8.1 but only 8, and that does not work either. My question is, how am i going to get this to work Thanks.
