    I have an 8510p and a logitech v470 bluetooth mouse, and can't seem to get the 8510 to see the bluetooth mouse.

    The mouse works fine on other notebooks.

    As a matter of fact I can't get the 8510p to see a Logitech DiNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard either, and the only way the 8510p sees the keyboard is with a bluetooth adapter in the usb port, which is pretty backwards, if I wanted to use a usb port, I would have bought a usb wireless mouse with adapator.

    I have the latest bios(Dec 08) and bluetooth drivers from Hp's site.

    The bluelight is on, the Hp Wireless assistant shows bluetooth is one as well as my network wireless.

    When I right click and ask it to add a device, it says no device found.

    When I use the software to scan for bluetooth devices, it can not see either keyboard or mouse. The bluetooth Setup Wizard says no device can be found.

    When I go into My Bluetooth places, and try to scan for devices in range, or add a device, it immediately pops up a message saying there is no device found.

    Has ANYONE gotten the bluetooth on the 8510p to work with a mouse or keyboard of any brand?

    Between the video problems and other history with this notebook, HP has not done their best by me.
