    I just recently bought a Lenovo 3000 Y410 notebook, and noticed that it has indicator lights for Bluetooth and 3G, as well as function keys up top to (I'm assuming) turn them on/off. However, when I do so, nothing happens, and, I can't find any settings for them in Windows, leading me to believe that this model might not have them. I don't believe these features were advertised anywhere in any ads for the notebook, but I just want to be sure. So, does anyone know whether or not the Y410 has these features?

    P.S. I'm actually really only interested in the Bluetooth, but like I said, there are indicators for 3G as well.

    I bought mine on black friday at OD. If you happen to get the same batch, I'm pretty sure both 3G and BT are not present.

    i'm sure it has Bluetooth ,as i'm using it right now, connecting to the internet through paired device (cell phone Nokia 6120c).

    there is a switcher at the front, i feel its design is a bit like an "open button" to open the lid or something...

    i'm not sure what's that mean by 3G? um... but mine has assess to wireless broadband...

    mine is bought in Hong Kong, came with MS Vista Premium, with Core 2 Duo 5250....
