Bluetooth on a G550?

Hello

I have a G550 to which I want to pair a bluetooth headset.

  • The broadcom wireless card says that it supports bluetooth collaboration, I have activated.
  • The Lenovo Energy Management ulitily (Fn + F5) lists the wireless card, but not Bluetooth.
  • Win7 Control Panel lists not Bluetooth.
  • I have downloaded and run the utility of detection of Broadcom, and it does not find the headset.

If at this point, I'm stuck. It seems to be a fundamental problem with the G550 supporting not bluetooth, although the manual and the wireless adapter property sheet seem to indicate that it should.

Am I missing something?

Thank you

  • Lenovo G550 query... Urgent

    I'm almost finalized on obtaining a G550 - the eldest cousin of the G530 notebook. I'll be racing through lenovo.com.

    Essentially on the Lenovo site,.

    Go to Products > Notebooks > laptop Lenovo value line

    You will see 3 different models for the G550. References to: Lenovo G550 - 29582CU, 29582DU and DRANK 29582

    However, I do not know the difference in the technical characteristics of the different laptops Lenovo.

    Main differences, that I could see:

    Lenovo G550 - 29582CU: Memory -2 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & hard drive - 250 GB-5400 RPM

    Lenovo G550 - 29582DU: Memory -3 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & hard drive - 250 GB-5400 RPM

    Lenovo G550 - 29582BU: Memory -4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066 MHz & HDD - 320 GB-5400 RPM

    Apart from that, is there a difference?

    I plan to buy the G550-29582DU, but I need to know if she has a camera 1.3MP webcam and built-in bluetooth. The site of specifications does not appear to mention at all. Could someone please shed some light on this subject? Why is the lenovo site to the point?

    I need this information urgent because I need to order the book by max tonight.

  • Alps, Lenovo G550 & windows Vista pointing device

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I have a lenovo G550 laptop with the following configuration:

    T6600(2.2GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB 5400 RPM HD, LCD 15.4 in 1366 x 768, Intel 4500MHD, CD-RW/DVD-RW, Broadcom 802.11bg wireless, Bluetooth, 10/100 Ethernet, Touchpad, camera, 6 c Li-ion, WinVista Home Basic 32

    I have a problem with my tocuhpad. The touchpad in question is of the Alps. At the time wherever I have to connect the charger, the touchpad stops working & the cursor becomes static.

    At the time wherever the charger is removed, the unit works normally.

    I tried & updated the driver Alps several times, even tried with system restore to the day I bought my laptop. The problem still persists.

    Pls suggest what needs to be done to solve this problem.

    Kind regards

    Looks like that the isn'tcompatible touchpad with your version of Vista or if you have some sort of hardware problem.  Confirm the touchpad is compatible http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/ or from the manufacturer.  If this is the case, then it sounds like a hardware problem and you will need to place a claim under the guarantee, while it is still new and has a.  It's a USB device?  Have you tried a different USB port?  Confirmed that it does not reach all USB devices?  It's bluetooth, the same applies as far as confirmation of what other bluetooth devices is not the same problem.  It can also be a kind of hardware with the touchpad problem, but I don't see that as likely.

    I can't think of something to see in Vista to this problem which you haven't already tried.  Well, maybe one or two things:

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps.  Keep me posted.

    Good luck!

  • G550 power management driver

    Hello

    Somewhere in my travels I have uninstalled the Lenovo power management driver, preferring to rely on the installation of clean energy from Win7. But now I think that I need this driver in order to activate Bluetooth. A research on the Lenovo site grew up anything for the G550.

    I have the original adapter broadcom 802.11 wireless, and I put his advanced properties, the bluetooth collaboration, to activate. But there is no Bluetooth item in Control Panel, and Fn + F5 does nothing. I downloaded and tried utility of Broadcom Bluetooth discovery, nothing helps. Lenovo ReadyComm said that no BT software is available.

    So maybe the key is to install the Lenovo power management driver. Anyone know where I can get it?

    Thank you

  • with IOS 10.0.2 - 5s iphone Bluetooth problems

    Since upgrading ISO 10.0.2 my M50 from PLT Plantronics (helmet unique headset) do not reliably connects with my iPhone 5 more. I have to go to the settings, activate bluetooth turned off/turned on, touch the device on the bluetooth page, etc. Once it connects successfully, it will reconnect (if I turn off the headset and turn it back on) for a short period. The next day he does not connect itself but I play with bluetooth on the iPhone again.

    It has always worked perfectly before the 10th of IOS.

    And, as I noticed others mentioning, the volume is much lower with IOS 10. The maximum volume is much lower. I can barely hear it now, more normal background noise, while driving.

    I did:

    Forget this device for the PLT M50 and paired again (several times)

    I did a Reset Network Settings

    I don't know what else to do - but it's a 10.0.2 IOS issue.

  • Since activation apple CarPlay, my iPhone does not connect to my Bluetooth infotainment system

    I have recently taken delivery of a VW Tiguan MkII 2016 and could easily match my 6 s iPhone with it. Now, however, I created CarPlay Apple and VW car-net connect my iPhone via USB. Now my iPhone is no longer connect via bluetooth when not plugged into the USB port. It seems that I can now use only my phone by CarPlay which I do not plan to use whenever I drive the car. Is there a solution to this?

    Hi biker.

    I understand that as you have activated the Carplay, your iPhone will not connect to your car stereo via bluetooth. You can try to disable the Carplay on the device, and then test the bluetooth connection. Because you are trying to connect via clips and wireless at the same time, this can cause some problems. Using one or the other should solve this problem.

    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Good day.

  • issue of iOS 10 Bluetooth in car

    It seems that apple rushes on a product that gets worse and worse every time. How Bluetooth can work a day with ios9 then, not with ios10. Who can screw this up? You have already good writing... it hurts my brain that the company on top cannot get out of their own way and create a simple product to work more. It is God awful and obvious that they lack of any vision of the future.

  • Bluetooth network is not available

    Been trying for a while to use AirDrop on my MacBook Pro (Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.6) and my iPhone 6 s more.

    Just realized today that it might not work because the Bluetooth on the Pro does not work. With each device I try a pairing, it says that the network is not available and that I need to make sure that network access is enabled. Trying to do this, system preferences > network > Bluetooth PAN, I get the same message. I need you to ensure that network access is enabled.

    Someone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

    Open system preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled.
