Welcome to the Lenovo forum! :smileyhappy:

 

Thank you for posting your ThinkPad's model type number. ltwbook indicates that your R61i does not have Bluetooth, and has Intel 3945A ]]> Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:32:03 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1304/192141/193132 fmyhr <![CDATA[ Re: R61i wireless quits after some time ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1304/192141/193740 Thanks for that suggestion.
