    I have a Sager NP8662 and I cant get the bluetooth to work. Its not in the device manager and none of my bluetooth programs detect it. Has anyone else been able to get their bluetooth working on Windows 7 and is there a special driver I need to download to get it to work. Any help would be great

    It probably has to be enabled via a FN key press. Which FN key, I don't know. Try FN+F12 (that's what it is on the D901C). Look in the manual.

    Fn F12 does the trick. I too was wondering at first since the F12 key doesn't even have the bluetooth icon painted on it, but it works.

    Yep, Fn F12 is the hidden key. Why didn't they put a label on this? ugh. I even got a new replacement keyboard, no different.

    Fn+F10 has something to do with the G3 module....

    No, fn+f10 is the webcam.

    All the function keys are documented in the user manual.
