Hi there -
I recently purchased the Sony S150 (which I absolutely love, btw). I see that the S170 (the configurable version) has an option for built-in bluetooth, but I didn't see anything anywhere about the S150 having it, so I assumed it didn't. However, when I received my laptop I looked in the device manager and it listed the following items:
Bluetooth VCOMM Port
-Bluetooth Virtual Com4
-OPEN INTERFACE VCOMM Control Driver for WinSock
There is a third item as follows
Bluetooth Radios
-USB Bluetooth Device
However I'm not sure if this third driver came with the laptop, or if I installed it afterwards (I know I installed it, but I don't know if it was already there or not). At sony's website it says it's the original driver that shipped with my computer, so I assume it was already there. However, this driver had a yellow exclamation point on it, and when I clicked on properties it said "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" So I uninstalled it a couple times, and reinstalled it to no avail. Then I installed SP2, hoping it would help, but now when I try to re-install that driver it says it requires SP1...UGH!
Anyways...After seeing all this stuff for bluetooth on my computer, and after being able to 'search' for bluetooth devices, I figured that my laptop did infact have bluetooth built in, so I went out and bought a PocketMouse Bluetooth from Kensington. Needless to say (or I wouldn't be here), it didn't work.
So anyways...my question is does my Sony S150 have built in bluetooth? If not then Sony really sucks for including a bunch of 'bluetooth' drivers and making me go out and spend fifty bucks on a mouse I can't use![]()
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Do I have bluetooth on my Sony S150?
