SL Series ThinkPad Laptops

[#1]

Hello all,

I've installed windows 7 in my SL300. And I've tried to install the bluetooth driver (windows 7) from the lenovo website. The problem was "No Bluetooth device was detected. Please make sure your Bluetooth device plugged in properly in order to continue installation " eventhough my laptop has Bluetooth. Could you please give some ideas? Thank you all!

Hi tunavoi,

Before installing the driver you need to activate bluetooth by pressing Fn+F5 first. Hotkey driver is for Fn keys.

Hope it helps.
