t61 bluetooth question

I bought the integrated bluetooth option with my T61 ("62P6054 VBB INTEGR.BLUETOOTH PAN") but I'm not sure if it's really there... I installed Lenovo's bluetooth EDR software and it gave me a tray icon and a desktop icon. But right clicking the tray icon says that there's no bluetooth device, and double clicking the desktop icon does nothing. Does this mean that there are no bluetooth devices detected nearby, or that there is no bluetooth adapter installed in my laptop? I don't see any bluetooth-related hardware named in the device manager. (Sorry for the newb question... never used bluetooth before).

 

Press FN+F5 and turn on bluetooth.

 

If that doesn't work install the hot key software first then do what aadadams said.

 

if u press Fn+F5, and if you see it says wireless, and bluetooth. then you have it.

you should also see the bluetooth icon next to the wifi icon, right under your display.

i have bluetooth on mine, but i have no devices to test it with, except my wii-mote, but its not detecting that o_o.

 

Thanks, that did the trick. Didn't know it had to be enabled through a keyboard shortcut.

 

Yes is the adapter needed apart from he integrated bluetooth PAN ...
it doesn't detect any other bluetooth enabled devices nearby..

 

I had te same problem at first. I don't understand how come it doesn't come activated from the begining
