    Hi

    I am trying to get bluetooth work on my Sager NP8150. I installed the drivers "rainbow" on the original CD for the drivers and they are also available at clevo at CLEVO Driver Download ( under Intel WLAN+Bluetooth combo card driver for Windows 7).

    I have "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo Module". The bluetooth drivers does install but I do not see the bluetooth icon after rebooting. In addition, I cannot add a bluetooth device properly.

    Anyone else have this problem ? Someone was able to fix it ?

    Thank you

    Have you tried pressing FN+F12?

    No ! It was not enabled by default, so this step solved it :)

    Thanks

    mine wasnt working either tried both the ones sent with the laptop and the ones listed on sagers site. Try uninstalling the drivers entirely and reboot then turn on bluetooth and let windows 7 detect and install the drivers. At least this worked for me.

    Thanks. Also I've found that instead of enabling bluetooth each time you reboot/login you can set it to "remember last bluetooth setting" in the BIOS - option which was not available before (at least for some in 2009) for clevo based motherboard it seems.
