X61 Tablet - Windows 7 & Bluetooth - was working - I disabled it..How to re-enable

Ok I suspect I am being dense but I have had bluetooth working happilly enough for long enough and the other day I disabled it via the taskbar icon and thought i could eaily re-enable it later...
Well I know somewhereoin the depths of this OS there is something to re-enable it but I am blowed if I can find it...
This is driving me nuts ..I've been all through control panel / BIOS settings ..everything...and getting nowehere....
Help?
Lenovo X200 Tablet / 350Gb HDD / 4GB RAM / Windows 7

Sorry to be pulling up this old thread, but I have the same problem. I've been reading every bluetooth entry in this forum and still have no solution for my problem.
I have a X61s with Windows 7 on it. Bluetooth worked fine for 2 years.
After deactivating WAN and BT on my X61s, and a subsequent automatic Windows Update, there is no way to switch it back on.
FN+F5 pulls up a window which only lists WLAN, no longer shows BT and WAN as entries. Device Manager also doesn't list it. I've spent hours on this... no success. There is no Bluetooth entry in BIOS 2.22... I'm stuck
I've even swapped the bluetooth daughter board with the one from my wive's x61T, just to make sure it's no HW issue.
Is there any other way than going back to XP/Vista (don't own either) + old ThinkVantage ToolBox?
Any suggestions?

    My Firefox has been crashing every day sometimes several times a day. I have emailed your staff back many times looking for a reason for the crashed without any response.

    Thanks,

    Nick, sorry to hear about that. I'm not sure where you are sending the emails, but if you use the form to submit your crash information, that goes into a database for review by the developers instead of coming to the support volunteers here.
    Did you try the History > Restore Previous Session command? Firefox sometimes saves form data in the session history. This data may age out, so you should use that menu item as soon as possible.
    Going forward, consider installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ Lazarus: Form Recovery] extension if you are filling long forms and Firefox is unstable.
    With respect to the crashes, there are many possible reasons for Firefox to crash. Have you reviewed the help articles for diagnosis? For example: [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]].

    If the iPhone is showing a disabled message because of too many failed passcodes then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the phone and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPhone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

All within 24h. Of course without any information as to why the problem came up in teh first place. At least it was swift action.

  • TPM Module / X61 Tablet / Window 7 and Bitlocker

    I am sure my laptop has a TPM - at least the device manager shows it and says it is working - I try to turn on Bitlocker by right-clicking on the drive and it tells me I dont have a suitable TPM module installed...
    Anyone come across this or do I not have a module installed.????
    Sorry but I am confused...also note this drive has only a single partition..none of this service partition stuff..

    make sure you get the right cable. There are 4 choices. They come with or without support for fingerprint reader and with connections for 2 different digitizers. Most, but not all, X61 tablets have G5 digitizers, but some have G4. Try seeing if the leg to the digitizer has just come unplugged. I hafe seen it happen when the cable is stressed from a bad hinge.

  • I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window I was working on.  I have to click on the Window tab, but my window is ticked but not appearing. Why?

    I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on.  I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear.  Can any one tell me why?

    Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
    When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

    I installed Photoshope Elements 11 on my computer.  Subsequently Windows 8 was installed on the machine.  Now I cannot find Photoshop.  How do I get Photoshop "back" without using the second installation of the program?

    you'll need to use the 2nd installation/activation.  if you need another installation/activation, you'll need to contact customer support to allow you to activate (what will look like) a 3rd copy of pse.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
