    Hi,

    Im having an issue with my bluetooth card on my P150em, the mouse connects fine, if the mouse is turned on then the laptop is turned on with bluetooth enabled, if i put the laptop to sleep though the mouse will reconnect but then after a while it will stop working and the only way for the bluetooth to connect again is to restart the laptop, turning bluetooth on and off and mouse does nothing, its getting really annoying, and its nearly the nail in the coffin on returning it.

    Bluetooth seems to be a fickle technology in laptops. I hear this a lot; people needing to restart their system in order for the Bluetooth to function normally. I don't think it's an issue specific to your laptop.

    You can try reloading or updating your bluetooth driver, and if it happens again, try using your hotkey toggle for bluetooth to turn it off, then back on again. Sync your mouse up after it's back on and see if that works, so that [hopefully] you don't need to restart the system.

    The Intel 6235 has a bad rap as far as Bluetooth goes. I have not encountered a Bluetooth problem bur I don't use it much. Intel does say to install the Bluetooth before the wireless drivers. there are long threads on the Intel forums discussing the Bluetooth problems. From what I gather a lot of the combo cards have trouble handling Bluetooth.
