Does T61 has a bluetooth function

I bought a T61 and a bluetooth laser mouse. The mouse cannot be used because the system cannot find the bluetooth device.
I wonder if the T61 has a bluetooth device. If it has, how to turn on the Bluetooth device? Thank you all.

Welcome to the Forum:
Not all T61 have bluetooth, it depends on the model of your T61, if you have it you can activate it by pressing Fn + F5, there is an option to switch on your wireless card and bluetooth module.
Parts Look Up Link
Check whether your laptop shipped with bluetooth module installed from the above link, enter your model and serial number.
If you don't have the bluetooth module, you can install it yourself, the connector for the bluetooth module is in the screen case. The bluetooth is module is not a customer replaceable parts, so it is not recommended by Lenovo that you do it yourself within warranty, as it might avoid your warranty.
But the installation instruction can be accessed here:

Here is a previous discussion regarding bluetooth installation with official comment by Lenovo employee regarding the procedure.

I recommend you just get an external bluetooth adapter if you are only using the bluetooth mouse and it works just as well. I use the Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 with the bluetooth adapter (packaged in with the mouse) for X60 and it works just as well as the internal bluetooth on my T60, R61i and T61p.

[Apple please answer this] Does iOS5 break the bluetooth functionality?

Here is some background to my question...
I have my new iPhone 4S, which can not recognize my Honda accord hands free system and also does not recognize any phones in it's proximity. The displays shows that it is "Searching...". I assume this is not at all a problem with iPhone 4S hardware as all of my friends have the same phone and they have no issues using bluetooth.
Then I have another iPhone 3GS, which I have recently upgraded to iOS 5, but never tested bluetooth functionality after the upgrade. I am certain that it worked before as I had it paired with Honda accord and also it used recognize my wife's Sony phone. This leads me to believe that it is not a harware problem but something to do with software.
I have seen enough posts on this forum regarding similar problems... but never answered. I am looking for an answer from anyone who has similar problem and fixed it.

Last night, I have updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and it has no problems with bluetooth finding the other phones in it's proximity like my wife's Sony Ericsson but not my iPhone 4S and 3GS. It sure looks like a software issue on both the iPhones. I did not get a chance to go to the Apple store yet..going there over this weekend.
Adding to Tanya's comments, I only see the bluetooth icon at the top of the screen only when I am in the bluetooth screen.

This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device. (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

I have a 2011 tahoe. My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone. Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work. Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
Good luck.

Does the bluetooth function work with the scanner function on my Photosmart C5550?

I have a new Dell computer and an HP Photosmart C5550. I use bluetooth to connect to the print. The printer function works correctly but the computer does not recognize the scanner function. Does the scanner function work with bluetooth?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry. I hit post before I could elaborate. Not sure what I was thinking. The Bluetooth connection will only support printing. To use the scan feature you will need to connect the printer using a USB or network connection. Hope that explains it a bit better.

Does WLS60 has the same monitor function as WLS51

The console of WLS51 has a graphical small window to see the number of
connection, transaction. And Does WLS60 has too? How this can be implemented
on the browser?
Thanks,
Tom Hsu

Yeah, 3G is a problem as well, but since I'm mostly on Wi-Fi anyway that isn't such an important problem (at least to me it isn't), but yeah, the coverage is terrible.
It's just the GSM network that's bothering me. I mean, my old trusty Nokia 3110c has always worked as a charm and I never had late sms or people calling me who get the notion that my phone is turned off while it isn't. I'm this close to turning Voice Mail on, but I do not want to bring extra costs to people when it ain't necessary.
Besides, listening to Voice mail costs too and I haven't figured out how to turn on Visual Voice mail and I'm guessing that my provider doesn't support it...
Edit:
Thanks for welcoming me on the fora.
I have contacted LifeProof, Telfort and now the Apple Support Communities (Apple fora).
I hope there is someone out there that can confirm if it's my phone, my case or my telco.
Yes, I'm guessing it's my telco. I hope I don't have to live with it.
Let us see if someone has a magic solution.

Was my T61 shipped without Bluetooth? How can I check?

Recently I bought a T61 with Windows Vista Ultimate.
When I ordered it, I selected bluetooth capability and the integrated bluetooth pan (or whatever was there to click).
I am totally new to that whole bluetooth thing, so I wanted to try out whether I can connect my bluetooth enabled cell phone with my Laptop. So I activated bluetooth on the phone and made it visible to other devices, but when my T61 searched for devices, it couldn't find anything.
So there is a lot of settings, I thought maybe I did something wrong, but everything seems correct. But then I thought, maybe both devices have to be visible. So I wanted to set my T61 to "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" in Start -> Control Panel -> Bluetooth Devices -> Options.
But to my surprise when I click 'Apply' or 'OK', I get this error message:
Bluetooth Service Error
An error occurred while Windows was saving your settings. The
Bluetooth device might be unplugged.
The following settings were not saved:
Discoverability settings
Connection settings
How can the device be "unplugged" in a Laptop???
Maybe it's not even built in.
I am not really familiar with what is necessary to have bluetooth capability. When I look at the shipping itemization though, it seems there are multiple items needed.
Among many other entries the following lines were in the shipping listing (email):
62P6054 VBB INTEGR.BLUETOOTH PAN
42X1482 SBB BLUETOOTH W/ ANTENNA
42X1483 SBB BLUETOOTH SCREW
42V8654 SBB CL.PLATE T61WLAN BLTOOTH
These are the entries that sound like bluetooth.
(btw. What's a bluetooth screw, what's so special about it and what do I need it for?)
So, my brandnew T61 ought to have bluetooth capability, right?
But, maybe they forgot to put one of the components in. After all the fan was broken at arrival, not the best omen, I'm afraid.
How can I check, if Bluetooth is actually in the laptop?
Hope somebody can help me,
I don't want to call Lenovo and have some repair guy come over just to tell me how it's turned on.
Thanks,
MarkusK

Hi MarkusK, welcome to the forum,
I believe your T61 does have bluetooth. Have you turned bluetooth on using Fn F5. If BT has not been turned on I get exactly the same message you are describing. BT is turned off as standard setting, when you turn it on for the first time it will automatically load the necessary drivers - and away you go.

T61 7659 CTO, Bluetooth BCD-2 built in yes or no?

Dear T61 community,
am somewhat stuck with my Bluetooth issue on the
T61 7659-CTO, running on Vista 32bit SP1
in front of me, and would ask you for a clear statement:
Is a chance left that the T61 has Bluetooth built-in?
I am not sure.
There seem to be very similar, yet unsolved questions for other T61 users, too:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/How-to-activate-Bluetooth-device/m-p/253...
Is an answer for me an answer to them?
First of all thanks for the multitude of previous answers I could read to sort the matter to a certain degree
and thus to guide me which supportive facts would allow you best to judge.
Here is what I have fond out:
On the Lenovo parts lookup, my model seems to have been shipped with a lot of valuable parts,
incl. an entry relevant to Bluetooth
Mfg part # FRU part # Description Serviceable?
41W1156 0000000 CALLISTO (BDC-2) WW SKU:WIRELESS COMBO A NO
To give me hope, there is an LED symbol for Bluetooth waiting to show light next to the WLAN icon (WLAN icon is on, green, BT isn't).
However, with the hardware radio switch on the front on,
and when pressing Fn+F5, my 802.11 wireless radio does show,
while a Bluetooth entry would not show.
Reducing my hopes further, there is no entry for Bluetooth in the Control Panel.
Reducing my hopes even further, there is no entry for Bluetooth, Callisto or anything else
in the Device Manager > Network adaptors except:
Intel 82566MM Gigabit
Intel/PRO Wireless 3945A
and hidden WAN miniports
Reducing my hopes to a minimum, when trying to install a Bluetooth driver enabler/update 7vbv05ww.exe from Lenovo's support page, it states "no bluetooth device was detected".
Anyone left who can give me back some hope with a clear advice?
Or do I have to accept that I ought to buy a USB Bluetooth dongle somewhere?
many regards
Mika at work
Note from Moderator: Serial number removed from message for your protection.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Mike,
If you purchased a Bluetooth adapter (and it appears you did), there is no reason you should have to purchase a USB adapter.
I would suggest the following:
1) Make sure you have the current BIOS installed.
2) Make sure the Bluetooth adapter is not disabled in BIOS....if so, it will be invisible to the OS.
3) Make sure to follow the ReadMe instructions for the Bluetooth software to the letter.
4) Make sure to have the latest HotKey Utility installed.
T61 Driver page - http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67853
5) If you do the above and still do not have any luck, call the Help Desk for Warranty Support. You can have the system serviced under your warranty term as you could possibly have a bad BT card.
Hope this helps!

Does LabView display the Bluetooth signal strength when running on Windows XP?

I am interested in getting the Bluetooth signal strength in a Windows XP application. I would like to use the Microsoft bluetooth drivers for my application. First, Does LabView display the Bluetooth signal strength when running Windows XP? Secondly, If it does what Windows API(s) does it use to get access to this information?

Hi,
It does not seem like the Bluetooth VIs allow you to display the signal strength and I can definitly enter that as a product suggestion for the Bluetooth functionality in LabVIEW. For now, I would suggest going through the Windows API and searchingn for RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indication. I did not have a lot of luck in my searches through Microsoft, but you can give that a shot and post back with any more headway you make.
Also, you can try going to SourceForge.net. Just doing a search for Bluetooth and RSSI popped up several hits of code that has been developed for Bluetooth applications. Then, you can see about creating a DLL call to a particular function that will return RSSI information to you, to which
you can then use in LabVIEW with the Call Library Node.vi.
Hope this helps and best of luck!

IOS4 bluetooth functions not working properly?

Hello there,
I have the iPhone 3Gs and it is updated with the iOS 4.0.1. The problem I'm having is that, not all of the bluetooth functions are working properly as it used to before, and I wanted to know if there was away of letting Apple know about it so that it could be fixed. I believe it's just a software issue, where there is a delay in conncetivity from phone to headset, but I'm not sure. I own the new, "Jawbone Icon" and it used to work fine before I've updated to the new iOS 4.0. I've tried doing a total rest with both iphone and bluetooth and both methods were unsuccessful. I've actually tested my bluetooth headset with another iPhone, that still had the previous iOS 3.1.3 software, and it worked exactly how it should compared to my updated iOS 4.0.1 iPhone.
The main problem I have is that for one, I no longer hear my phone's message tone in my headset when I recieve a text message, push notification, or even email to my iPhone. Before, with the iOS 3.1.3 software, I would alway here my message tone when I recieve any of those notifications. Which was convinient when I had my phone in my pocket and was in an area where I couldn't hear my phone when I recieved a message.
The other problem I have is that, while my phone is ringing, I would hear my ringtone through my bluetooth while the caller id function was being read to me. This was a little distracting at first, but not too much of a problem. The problem is, when my phone rings and my "Jawbone" reads back to me the caller's number - when I pressed the sleep/wake button to slients my phone, it would also cancel the caller id function that my bluetooth offers. This was a little inconvinient, especially while I was driving. In the state the I live in, while driving, the driver is not allowed to talk on their phone unless it is connected to a bluetooth device. Which is the reason why it would be the reason why i enjoy the caller id function provided by "Jawbone".
If there is anyone that could help me with this problem, or possible help me find a way to send this to Apple, I would greatly appreciate it. If anything, I believe that the new iPhone iOS 4.01 software has a slight delay on their bluetooth connectivity from phone to headset. But, nevertheless, any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Yung Vibe

Yung,
Consider rolling back the OS if you can. Apple support should be able to help.
The bluetooth functionality in IOS 4 is definitely different and not for the better. I'm having serious sound quality and connectivity issues with both the Jawbone II and the Blue Ant Q1. I've called both support groups and bottom line is that IOS 4 has changed and the vendors haven't caught up or the OS has issues that the vendors cant compensate for. I've had to abandon the headsets and move to the delivered earphones. Even that approach has issues if you dont turn off the blue tooth IOS 4 will continue to connect to the bluetooth headset mid conversation. That's a new issue as well. Previous OS made the corded headset the priority and never let the bluetooth take over if the cord was plugged in. I hope Apple is working on this it's darn frustrating and I have an Iphone 4 therefore I cant roll back the OS to 3.
