    My problem (of many) - bluetooth on my T61 will find every bluetooth device (cellphone, ODA etc.) EXCEPT my trusty bluetooth mouse (Logitech V270). The mouse is fine... my T43's bluetooth will find it and use it with no problem.

    I uninstalled the Thinkpad and windows bluetooth software/drivers and reinstalled just the windows drivers. No luck. So I added the Thinkpad stuff. Still no luck. This is insane. Why is my mouse invisible to my T61?

    If anyone has any clue where to start looking please let me and my poor mouse know. Thanks.

    I have the exact same mouse, and a 14 inch T61. My mouse works perfectly with the Microsoft bluetooth stack and Thinkpad bluetooth drivers.

    Did you hold on the the reset button until the little green light starts blinking when pairing? The V270 can only be paired with one computer at a time. Everytime when you want to switch computer, you will need to reset the mouse, and search for the mouse from the computer.
