Salam Fellow Guppies,
I recently bought a Toshiba M115-S3094 laptop. I am unable to run its bluetooth system. I am trying to activate it but to no avail.
Anyone got ideas about how to run/activate the bluetooth system? I want to transfer some songs/pics to my mobile phone which is Motorola Razr V3i.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Bluetooth Activation
Well you should have some kind of Blue tooth software installed on ur laptop when u bought it. Turn B'tooth ON on your phone & then in laptop run the scan & it should see ur phone. Its actually pretty easy. Alternatively ur Phone should see ur laptop.
Re: Bluetooth Activation
Usually on newer laptops they have a physical switch to enable wifi/BT connectivity. Once you turn that switch on there's either a key combination (e.g. FN + F5) or there might be a software icon in the system tray (where the date is) that you can right click and enable BT.
Re: Bluetooth Activation
Thanks Tofibaba and Najim,
I am still unable to activate the Bluetooth system. I haven't really gone through the manual completely but I guess I need to do so now. Anyways, I really appreciate your responses.

Re: Bluetooth Activation

Re: Bluetooth Activation
Its where u stop worrying about gold-tooth and start worry about teeth that are rotting and are blue. :)

Re: Bluetooth Activation
M115-S3094 does NOT come with bluetooth technology. In order for you to use bluetooth in that, you are gonna have to buy a bluetooth adaptor which is around 20-30 bucks in the market.

Re: Bluetooth Activation
Yep, I think none of us bothered about checking the laptop specs but Shoaib.
You need to buy some bluetooth dongle, like one below
To have blue tooth, since ur laptop doesn’t have it built in.
Re: Bluetooth Activation
only one? :halo:

Re: Bluetooth Activation
lolz… aray you know what I mean 
now tell me what exactly it does..lol… i know it is some sort of wireless technology…
Re: Bluetooth Activation
Firstly, thanks to everyone for their nice information
Ok Shoaib, there's a on/off switch for the Bluetooth already in my laptop. Doesn't it suppose to mean that it's Bluetooth capable? I went to the Bluetooth Installation guide and it says that I need to download a "Bluetooth Driver" from toshiba's website. Is it necessary or do I need to buy the "Bluetooth Dongle"?
Thanks,

Re: Bluetooth Activation
Najim and Shoaib,
I read the specifications with a keen eye for the "first time" and you guys are spot on that Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 doesn't have bluetooth built in. Rather, it is bluetooth capable.
What I want to know is that there's ton of bluetooth software already installed in the laptop from Toshiba? Upon buying the bluetooth dongle, do I need to delete all that? I'm looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
Umer
Re: Bluetooth Activation
Well when u buy a dongle see if u can make it work with the software installed already (it may not) - if no then surely u will get a CD with the Dongle u can always use the provided software that I am sure works because I am using a dongle similar to the one I posted above.
Re: Bluetooth Activation
u dont really need to uninstall those softwares that came with ur computer, jz in case u mite need them. i'd say jz get the bluetooth adaptor and u should be okay then.
Re: Bluetooth Activation
Najim and Shoaib,
I'm grateful for your great input. Infact, I'll buy the bluetooth dongle soon and see if I need the "pre-installed" software or the CD with the dongle might be self-sufficient.
You guys sorted out my problem with excellent feedbacks and I'm appreciative of your help.
Thanks,
Umer
