Bluetooth on lap-top

[ChirpyKez]

I'm sure my lap-top has built-in bluetooth but i can't seem to find where it is or how to do it!! A few friends said they have got a button on the keypad with the bluetooth symbol on {like on a mobile} but mine doesn't have that? It's only 18 months old. Any help appreciated!

Assuming it is XP:

Start - my computer - view system information (left hand pane)

Hardware - device manager

Scroll down the list and look for bluetooth devices. Click and see if it is enabled. If you can't see it - you haven't got it.

What make/model is it? On my laptop it is an amber light at the front, with an adjacent bluetooth symbol.

It's a TOSHIBA EQUIUM A100-306
Did what you said and I can't see it, maybe I haven't got it then? Thank-you

nope that one hasn't got blutooth

get a blutooth dongle if you really need it, they are very cheap

i have the one below, and it works well and is small enough you can leave it plugged in without risking damage to itself or you usb ports
