    Hey.

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T410 and i have a problem with bluetooth. My little brother bought the same computer and the bluetooth works fine on his. But i cannnot seem to find the bluetooth device... Like its not there.
    I went to BIOS security I/O and Bluetooth was enable there...
    I then installed ThinkPad Hotkey for this computer and even tried removing the software and installing again but when i do the shortcut FN+F5 nothing happends.

    I have also cheked device manager to see if there are any bluetooth device connected but its not listed. Here is a picture: (Its not in english but bluetooth isnt listed)

    I cant seem to find a bluetooth driver for T410 that works with windows 8.1 but only 8, and that does not work either...

    My question is, how am i going to get this to work

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum!

    What is the full 7-character model number - located on the same sticker that holds the serial # and the production date on the bottom of the laptop - of your T410?

    No. That's not what I was asking about, and you should edit the serial number out of your previous post.

    There is a 7-character model number on that same sticker, which will look like 2537-RB7 or 2516-22U or something along these lines.

    That number is what I'm looking for.

    Does pressing Fn+F5 bring up wireless and or WWAN? You might have to install the Power Manager and Access Connections in order to get this working...

    Yep. You are missing the parts of the Power Manager/Access Connections/Hotkeys combo


    Well, I don't use W8 so I really can't help you there but I'm fairly certain that the version for W7 would work.

    Good luck.
