    Hey all,

    I very recently purchased a new Sager NP8662 laptop and am finally getting around to testing features. When I ordered from XoticPC, I chose "Bluetooth: Internal Bluetooth + EDR" as an option. However, when choosing "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" and attempting to save my settings, I get an error that the "Bluetooth device might be unplugged". I also get a message to "Make sure that your Bluetooth adapter is attached to your computer and turned on" when attempting to add a device.

    Am I missing something obvious or just really dense? :) I just can't seem to figure this out and want to use Bluetooth to connect my BlackBerry. I'm on Vista 64.

    Thanks,
    - Matt

    You'll have to press FN+F12 each time you get back from sleep, hibernation, restarts, and shutdowns.

    Thanks! I didn't even realize there was a manual until just now.
