Question : Bluetooth on Lenovo SL500

Thanks to all in advance,

I have an SL500 Lenovo laptop right out of box runnin XPSP3 and bluetooth manager does not come up. BTHPROPS.CPL does not run.  Wireless switch is on.  I have reinstalled the bluetooth drivers, as well as the power management drivers with no luck.  Device manager shows everything OK.

Anyone ever encounter this before? Any clues?

Thanks again

You probably should call Lenovo Support and get warranty assistance. It may be that there is a hardware problem with Bluetooth, and there may be a software installation problem. Be prepared here for their desire to re-image the laptop as the first step (unless they can otherwise easily troubleshoot). .... Thinkpads_User
