Bluetooth T430

Hello

I got a T430 as a gift, but it doesn't have a built-in Bluetooth receiver. I was hoping to add it. Does anyone know how to do this?

In addition, I tried to buy an external Bluetooth USB chip, but the software was not easy to use. For example it is not appariaient with my devices automatically. Anyone know of a good USB Bluetooth chip that is compatible with the lenovo Bluetooth software or has a user-friendly software?

Thank you

You can buy a Bluetooth dongle like this for as little as $2. It connects a USB port and it slightly exceeds the case, but it is much more easy/less expensive than to make someone to put a BT card inside your system.

Super Mini Bluetooth adapter Dongle 2.0

You don't have to buy from a Chinese supplier as DX and wait a few weeks. Similar adapters are available in most computer stores, on eBay, Amazon, etc for less than $10.

  • Lenovo T430s Bluetooth

    Hi Lenovo community,

    I urgently need help from someone to confirm a few suspicions of my laptop.

    I'm a t430s owner, bought about a year and a half, it's a custom template.

    Recently, I bought a new helmet that was wireless which is supposed to be used via bluetooth.

    For some reason, I thought that my laptop has bluetooth technology, but now I'm not sure what I can do, I can't return my helmet and I've been Googling things upwards but no answers.

    First of all, I want to ask... should I have bluetooth on my laptop? I went to Device Manager, and that's what I got:

    And in Start menu, I typed in bluetooth, these are the results:

    Is someone can you please tell me how I can get bluetooth applied on my T430s so I can use my wireless headset?

    Thank you.

    Hi Poykl,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you have a problem with the Bluetooth adapter on your ThinkPad T430s.

    This could be the problem with verification of function with Fn + F5 keys and you will get an option to activate the Bluetooth and Wifi adapter check this option.

    If you have not found the option then I think that your system is not delivered with the Bluetooth adapter, please provide the number MTM (model Type of Machine) who will be at the back of the system written on the white sticker so that we will confirm if the Bluetooth comes with the system.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards

  • T430 question on wifi antenna Bluetooth and ultimate (6200/6300)

    I took interest in the t430, but before I get one, I know about 2 things.

    First of all, according to this thread:
    After a more careful reading of the links, you are right that the 6300 has 3 antenna connectors. But on the config site, if you choose the camera, can't get 2 x 2 real antennas, then get effectivey a 6300 running like a 6200.

    Is this true?

    Second, if the above is true, adding to the air of 4.0 blue tooth will cause any conflict with the antennas above, or with built-in camera? Useful to add the ultimate adapter if it does not install just 2 antennas? or should I stand in advance + bluetooth?

    Thank you!

    Module Bluetooth have their own antenna. The link you quoted is for the ThinkPad x series and not for the t series. On the T430, the antenna is for a 3 x 3, regardless of the card you choose. Even if you choose the 6205 you will always get the 3 antenna Setup, only the antenna will be left unused since 6205 map uses 2 antennas.

  • connectivity Wi - Fi T430S problem

    Hello

    I have problem with wi - fi on my Lenovo T430s. Wi - fi only does not show, there is only the bluetooth radio. I not found any solution to this. Restart or new drivers does not work. The only solution is to send it to the service?

    Thx for the answers

    Thanks for the tips.

    I tried the software update of Lenovo (BIOS and Wifi driver) and it solved. So I hope that it will last.

    Thx anyway

  • Impossible to install the Bluetooth software

    Hi all

    When I tried to install the latest version of the Bluetooth 12.0.0.3600 for my T430s software, the installation will stop at the end with a Chinese error message. I would like to attach a screenshot of the error message, but can't seem to find any possibility to attach on this site.

    So now I'm stuck with the driver that windows installs by default (12.0.0.10). Whenever I start the laptop, I get an error message btwapi.dll missing. There is no Bluetooth entry in ' Control Panel / programs and settings ", so I can't uninstall the old driver manually. A new habit to install (probably because the old is there and damaged.

    Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Thanks for your comments. I finished setting up the laptop from scratch. The first thing I did after installing base was to update the Bluetooth drivers and it worked without problem. I suspect that the culprit was the ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse. When I updated the Bluetooth software before installing the Bluetooth mouse, I was able to update without problems.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator attempts to install bad devices Bluetooth for CSR8510 A10

    This question applies to all the Bluetooth adapters that are based on the chipset CSR8510 A10 (for example Sitecom CN-524).

    On different machines, I'll have a different behavior as a result of the installation of the drivers for this adapter. For example, a laptop Lenovo X 240 will install fine and a Lenovo T430s will NOT install fine. The two machines are running Windows7 64 bit.

    It is not an option to install the drivers that came with the dongle, because they are based on the suite of harmony of CSR, which prevents battery Microsoft Bluetooth to use. That is what I want, and it has been shown to work.

    When you connect the adapter, Windows will try to install a generic Bluetooth Radio driver, which is fine.

    I was able to isolate the problem to the driver Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator is also automatically installed:

    -On the machine that fails to install correctly, this driver will attempt to install 3 devices (NICs): one for the hands-free Bluetooth Audio, one for Bluetooth L2CAP Interface and one for Bluetooth Remote Control. These drivers do not start (error code 10), who should expect that these drivers are not attempted to be installed on the computer that works very well.

    -On the machine that the adapter is installed correctly, these devices do not appear. Instead, the pilots appear to Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth Server.

    I struggle to understand why there is a difference in behavior between the two computers and I would appreciate some tips that will help me to make the failed computer try NOT to install these faulty drivers!

    Thank you!

    For anyone else who might come across this: I managed to solve the problem.

    The problem seems to be that on some computers, the 'utility WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software' is installed. This software utility may be marked specifically for the manufacturer of your computer, for example, in my case, it was called "Thinkvantage Bluetooth Software".

    Disabling the adapter embedded Bluetooth does not remove completely all network adapter drivers that are associated with this piece of hardware: the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software utility adds a few network cards.

    When you then use an adapter Bluetooth from another provider, driver installation may fail when the chipset you are installing is not compatible with these network belonging to a different chipset drivers.

    I realize the use cases this is not very typical, but it's very confusing when it happens!

    In order to solve the problem, make sure that you uninstall any Bluetooth software from other providers before you install the drivers for your new Bluetooth adapter.

  • 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.

    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.
