    Cute delima. My son has a Sager NP2096 with Bluetooth capabilities. He also has a VirginMobile Arc cellphone with Bluetooth capabilities. He is trying to connect the two together to download pictures from his cellphone to laptop.
    The two acknowledge each others existence, but the laptop requires a PIN number from the cellphone to connect. And of course, the cellphone manual says the laptop should provide its own PIN number.

    the basic "0000" does not work. Does anyone have any ideas if this is possible or not? Any special PIN numbers that might work?

    I don't know about his phone model personally, but try the last 4 digits of his phone number, that's what it was on my phone.

    did you read the User's Manual of the notebook to find the pin?

    right click on your bluetooth icon and choose recieve files and will your notebook try to connect with phone automatically without password just send picture and do not close the window of receiving.

    it doesn't need to configure your bluetooth device just disable password if you enabled it.
