    I was trying to connect my mp3 player (bluetooth enabled) to X200, but it wouldn't connect to Bluetooth.

    So I clicked 'Bluetooth Device' then to properties to see hardware, and I see nothing installed.

    Does that mean that bluetooth chip is not installed?

    I configured to order bluetooth and I need them because I have 3 bluetooth device...

    I need the computer too so I don't want to send it to Lenovo if it really is not installed.. definitely not asking my mother to forfeit her laptop once again for next few weeks.

    I dont know if its going to be the same on your x200, but on my old school t42p I hit Fn + F5 to open up the diialog to turn bluetooth on.

    Did you pressed Fn+F5 and turn on the Bluetooth radio?

    Try that before messing around much more.

    Some of the feature works but not all. Like entering PIN on both my MP3P and X200. X200 cannot detect the PIN number.. hmm.
