    Ey guys I reformatted my computer with a new hard drive and I have tried to install the firmware for the bluetooth, but in the installer it says that the device was not found, so it doesn't proceed with installation. My wireless WAN is working fine. Any ideas how to go about this?

    Can't you use Thinkvantage update to install the drivers?

    Ha, I don't even have a disc that came with my notebook. I was thinking about doing a thinkvantage update to fix this issue as well, but one of the reasons i opted to do a clean install in the first place was so that I wouldn't have to deal with lenovos pathetic excuse for software. I guess I will have to try it though. Although I am definitely considering doing another clean install if it will fix this problem. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

    i guess the only way is to do a factory install...NEVER!
