    Hi all

    I have a problem with a genius bluetooth mouse.
    I installed bluetooth driver for my 1545 (running win7 64-bit) but i cannot connect my bluetooth mouse.
    Separately, both devices are working OK, f.e. I can connect my mouse to another notebook, and i can connect other bluetooth devices to my 1545, but cannot connect mouse with 1545.
    1545 just can't see mouse when searching for bluetooth devices. :confused:

    I'm completely stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thnx

    You mean, is a mouse in discoverable mode?
    i think so, 'cause other notebook "sees" mouse.

    i just one newbie question - is it even possible to put a bt mouse into non-discoverable mode?

    Yes.

    It really depends on the mouse. Most Bluetooth devices have a button or switch to turn on/enable discoverable mode.

    The other notebook sees mouse w/o any problems, so i presume it's discoverable...

    that's frustrating :(
