    HEY!!! Hi from Mexico!! I been checking this forum for a while and it has help me with a lot of things, including the buy of my XpS M1210, and well I bought it without the Dell 350 bluetooth stuff, anyway I bought it from Ebay and install it. at the beggining I TOTALLY hated the Toshiba Stack, so I uninstalled it immediatly... the problem was when I tried to Turn on the bluetooth, I had to reinstall it again, between that reinstall I tried to install the Bluesoleil soft but at the moment of install the "Serial Ports" it stucked in it ( and I let it run for almost 2 hours and the installation never pass through)

    Well the problem is TODAY, I was totally disapointed of the toshiba stuff so I uninstall it WITH the bluetooth Off, and then try to reinstall the bluesoleil stack... when the bluesoleil was installed (i had to cancel the part of the serial ports, but the program itself was already in) I try to turn on my bluetooth and it didnt worked, windows recognized it, it even is "on" in the device manager but the blue led in the "leds section" isnt on and the "Bluetooth ratio" Is OFF!!! and the worst part I tried to reinstall the toshiba stack but it says that I have to plug the bluetooth device... SO IM SO T%$&#/% UP!!!

    any help will be really aprecciated

    (I already did a "System Regression" :p but it didnt work, uninstal the drivers and it didnt work neither... HEEEEEEELPPPPPP!!! PLZ!!!!)

    hit FN+F2. This will turn off or on any wifi/bt devices. Hopefully that will recycle it and it will turn on.

    You might also check the BT software. I know with Toshiba/XP's stack there is a button that you can hit to turn it on.

    Well I finally could do that the ratio works... again with the toshiba Stack... Does anybody knows how to use another stack with this bluetooth? I would like to use the widcomm or bluesoleil... or someone knows how to Link the Sony Ericsson s710a with the toshiba stack, I want to use it like in the Bluesoleil, I can "acces" my memory/phone memory like an external HD, and copy/delete files.

    any help would be great.

    Thx everybody
