    How do you activate the Bluetooth on the T400? I ordered it with the integrated bluetooth but I can't seem to connect to anything and I never see the bluetooth indicator light go on when I try to connect.

    I can't find the bluetooth adapter in the device manager. Could they have forgot to put it in???

    Fn+F5 then click on the button to turn on the Bluetooth radio.

    Until then the computer won't see the bluetooth device.

    Don't worry, it stumped me a little while; I was worrying that they'd not built it into my T400. ;)

    Heh. Funny—and I was able to get Bluetooth working on Windows 2008. Which doesn’t even support Bluetooth!

    I got tripped up by this as well. Thank goodness for this forum. Very dumb for it not to be on by default.

    I have a bluetooth-related question; my XPS m1330 has integrated bluetooth. would it be possible to take it out and put it into my T400? or is that pretty imposible..
