    Hi,

    I bought this laptop 3 months ago and I have been having many problems. The most annoying is that 80% of the time Vista doesn't see the Bluetooth Radio. I've tried to use different stacks but this doesn't seem to help.

    I'm not sure whether this is a HW problem or a Vista/SW problem. Do you think is it worth it to restore the system with the LG CD? Do you think XP will fix it?

    BTW, I also have the same problem that many folks seem to have with Wi-Fi. From time to time the Wireless Lan Card is not recognized anymore and I have to reboot to get it found again :( :(

    LG is not helping and I'd hate to send the laptop back for a 1month service :(

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The bluetooth here seems to be working just fine. But i am having problems the same problem than you with Wi-fi. I have made a phone call to the support and the only solution is for the pick up of the laptop. I've installed the latest driver for the wi-fi in www.atheros.cz
    By the way, i'm using XP
