    Ever since I installed Service Pack 2 on my Vista (64-bit), my Thinkpad is acting as if it doesn't have Bluetooth anymore. The light is never on no matter what I do, none of the Bluetooth software works and if I try to install new Bluetooth drivers the installer states that it can't find the hardware.

    Quick googling revealed some other people have had problems with their Bluetooth after installing SP2 but didn't find any solutions that worked for me.

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried hitting Fn+F5 and (re-)enabling the Bluetooth hardware?

    Yeah, it can't find any hardware. I can't find my bluetooth even in the Device Manager.
