    I sent in my 6224 for repairs. I didn't test the Bluetooth the first month after, but now it seems that it doesnt work. Have tried the hotkey, and installing drivers. But no Bluetooth device is found. Any ideas?

    First make sure you have turned the BT on (Fn+F10). Then look in Device Manager. If there's no Bluetooth or unconfigured device then I have to wonder whether Zepto omitted to install the module. :eek:

    The bluetooth is there, but as a hidden device :S don't know what it means. there is also small blue questionmarks beside them.

    called : BT HID enum device, BT HID manager and BT Vcomm manager
    hitting Fn and f10 doesnt make a difference
