    hello,

    im new here! lol anwyays

    i got this a while ago and i was just wondering: a couple sites say that this particular model has bluetooth. i honestly have no idea of how to get it to work. it always says that "bluetooth is not ready". can anyone help me out?

    does this notebook even HAVE bt!? lol it has a bt device manager but yeah, i dont know how to get it to basically turn on.

    tia!

    EDIT: i also have another funny problem. when i burn cd's, like music CD's, using nero for some reason now it never seems to burn it properly. like after it gets up to track like 14, my car cant seem to read the cd or it has alot of funny like noise in the background.

    when i play these cd's on my laptop, its fine, any ideas?

    I'd look into your control panel/device manager to and see if you have Bluetooth in your notebook. If you do, you can activate it via the Bluetooth software.

    1. Go to the Control Panel
    2. Go to "System"
    3. Click on the "Hardware" tab
    4. Click on "Device Manager"
    5. See if you have a Bluetooth device

    For the CDs you might want to try burning at a slower speed.

    You also might try using the "Sonic Record" software that comes with your notebook instead of Nero and see if that has any effect.
