Disable Bluetooth on a ThinkPad W500

How can I easily toggle Bluetooth on a ThinkPad W500?

Toggling of WIFI is easy on this device ;-) But nothing found for Bluetooth... Running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) (Version 6.1 (Build 7600)).

I tried the virtual Agent and the FAQ but don't find any info about it.

Thanks in advance!

PS: it is interesting that "spell" at this forum does not include the W500, WLAN,... ;-)

    Turn off your computer, make sure that Bluetooth devices are on, then start up the Mac. It should detect the devices.

    If this isn't the case, you need to use a wired keyboard.

    I first try a hard reset, just take out your battery for about 5 seconds and could again. Usually, which solves a lot of problems. If it is still on, it may be a software problem, but is not certain.

  • A100-192 virtual sound utility disabled Bluetooth battery Installation

    When I used exchanger automatic installation of the Bluetooth stack for windows Toshiba Bluetooth information took place and I noticed after several procedures of formatting my system (in order to put everything to the initial state) that do this usefulness of its virtual Toshiba works do not. I tried to uninstall and reinstall this utility from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel of Conrol and the only thing I managed to get is a reminder of windows start menu "installed a new program," I can't turn off after you restart the system several times.

    I noticed that a sound driver was installed during the installation of Bluetooth but it happened so fast, I don't think that was it.

    Hello Apostolos

    I put t know exactly what happened and why, but I know that on my unit when the BT device is activated for the first time there are several pieces of hardware that must be installed. After a few minutes, all new hardware from BT will be displayed in the Device Manager and BT can be used.

    I've never really heard it can disable the Toshiba tool or utility, but it is very interesting opinion. If you enable virtual sound utility new in the modus or stay whenever when you use BT sound is disabled virtual?

  • How to disable bluetooth?

    Hello

    I just got a g4-2368 Pavilion, with Windows 8.  I am looking for a way to disable the Bluetooth connection when I don't use, so far without success.

    In other portable HP that I used, I had HP connection manager or used HP Wireless Assistant available for this exact task, but the machines Windows XP or 7 is installed. It seems that all applications are available to win 8. Anyway, I installed the wireless Assistant, but it does not work I have the machine, because it doesn't detect any wireless network card.

    Y other another way (other than the activation and deactivation of the Device Manager)?

    Hey Morgoth,

    You can essentially disable the Bluetooth by UNCHECKING the checkbox that allows Bluetooth connections to your computer.

    See the document below:

    Using Bluetooth (Windows 8) devices

    When the box is turned OFF, Bluetooth devices are not allowed to connect to your computer.

  • Bluetooth drivers for thinkpad x 200

    It seems that my windows 7 32bits thinkpad x 200 has question marks to bluetooth adapters in Device Manager.

    I installed the drivers that are available on the site of the producer of lenovo, but no change is observable.

    The camera seems to work well, that is, access and sharing of files with android smartphone and use internet android, but when it comes to internet sharing with the smartphone, there is no transmission. I wonder if the broken drivers may be the cause.

    experiences?

    Hi dignity,

    Thanks for the reply!

    Please check if you are able to transfer files via Bluetooth.

  • HP 15-AF006AX: enable/disable Bluetooth

    I see that bluetooth is still on and the only way to turn it off is to disable from Device Manager. So I was wondering if there is a way to turn on bluetooth power without going through the Device Manager.

    Additional information: HP Wireless Assistant is not compatible with this model of laptop, so it's not an option

    Hello:

    You can probably use the HP Connection Manager software...

  • 0328 - A11 - disable Bluetooth

    I use the Thinkpad Edge 0328-A11 unit. I recently had reimagee and have encountered a problem when the redownloading drivers.

    Before the update, it was possible for me to press F9 for the on-screen display to toggle the WIFI and Bluetooth. I had downloaded a driver, which means that when I turned off Bluetooth and WIFI left on that he would remember the next time. So if the cut-out of radio wireless has been on off and back on it would remember what I had, leaving WIFI on and Bluetooth turned off.

    However, now that it is reimagee it doesn't have the driver and I don't remember which ones I downloaded which would give me this result. Any idea on that one, it could be?

    Thank you

  • How to disable the Touchpad on Thinkpad X 301

    I use my touchpad and find that by accidentally touch, I delete large bodies of text typed in Gmail, irretrievable, on a regular basis.  It's REALLY frustrating.

    I tried the F8 function, which gives error message saying that ultranav Driver is not installed.  I try to install the driver and then it tells me that it cannot find the synaptics. ????

    Sorry, I'm not a technical interest, and I don't know what this means, but the problem is driving me CRAZY!

    I'll be very grateful to anyone who could hlpe disable me the touchpad... Please.

    Thank you

    Stop your X 301, then turn on. When the ThinkPad logo appears, immediately press F1 to enter in the
    The BIOS configuration utility. If your system has a set supervisor password then you will need to type it in demand.

    Use the cursor keys to navigate through the menus until you find the one that bears on the TouchPad. Toggle the active setting to disabled. Press ESC until you return to the main Menu. Now save the settings of the BIOS update, and then restart Windows.

    Make sure that you do not inadvertently to other BIOS settings.

    Here is a video showing how to exchange the Fn/CTRL but also to disable the touchpad. It's for the X230t but it must be the same or very similar to your X 301:

  • T61 with disabled bluetooth

    I have a pc at work witch a bluetooth disabled.

    It is not present in the control panel.

    It is enabled in the BIOS. Have no idea how I can activate bluetooth?

    I still don't know what system OS you are using, but here is the driver for XP:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70450

    After downloading, you must unpack it from the following directory: C > drivers > win > Bluetooth (or something similar with a B)...

    Vista driver:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70042

    We'll see if it's just the drivers that have been removed, or something more complicated...

    Good luck and let us know.

  • Disabled Bluetooth wireless card device error Code 43 Manager

    Original title: Bluetooth wireless card disabled by windows.

    There is this problem that I've been repeatedly for a long time where randomly, my Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth minicards stops working and I can't put it back on without doing a clean reinstall of the driver. Sometimes it is very difficult to do, because in this case, my computer sometimes think that my bluetooth mouse is still connected, so it won't let me activate the touchpad mouse. When this happens, I can not access my devices manually by removing the mouse. Quite simply, nothing happens when I try to open the bluetooth devices.

    I see the bluetooth in my device manager card, but the Properties window that it has this error message:

    "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) »

    If I turn off and then turn on the device, it works very well for about 2 seconds, but then the problem comes back. Restarting the computer does not set it. Try to update the driver not fixed not. Try to reinstall the driver works only if it is completely clean uninstall, and then I reinstall mode without failure. However, the problem is never permanently attached and eventually come back somewhere between 2 days and 2 weeks later.

    I have an Alienware M17x.

    Someone at - it a way to make Windows to stop disabling the bluetooth card? In addition, it would be much easier to solve this problem if the computer would not automatically disable my touchpad (refusing to turn it back on, same with the fn - f12) when he thinks a mouse is connected. Does anyone know how to fix the part of it? It truly is a train wreck.

    Hello

    Driver is a software designed for a particular device, which communicates between the device and the operating system. Because of this feature of the device driver software is recognized by the operating system and it starts to work.

    Code 43 is displayed in Device Manager when the bluetooth device driver informs the operating system that the device failed. If the device fails, there is a problem with the device and must be replaced.

    You can contact Dell technical support for replacement and get help.
