Hey guys, I restored my ol' ibm t43 and I remembered it had bluetooth...

All sounds good right?

wrong...:

-----> I am having some problems with the bluetooth, (im not sure if its the fact that its bluetooth 1.0) but I can't get this machine to connect to my phone (samsung eternity) when it says enter a passcode nothing displays on my phone, its not a big problem but doing wireless transfering would be pretty neat (I dont want to buy a dongle)

Thanks for your help (that is if you can help me)

Additional Info : I am using broadcom drivers (blue solei didn't seem to work to well with mine... and again Its BT 1.0 not two, I'm guessing that The BT1.0 is causing the problem, oh and Im running windows 7 lol

The bluetooth might just be too old on it, I'd buy a dongle. They can be pretty cheap.

You're lucky anything still works in your Thinkpad. The one I have randomly shuts off if you shift your body at all, and if it's not on a flat surface then it won't even turn on. The wireless is broken, and if you put in an external wireless card into one of the 2 little slot things on the side, the computer crashes. All that, and its video card sucks, so I can't play any games with decent graphics on it.

Old Thinkpads are the worst  Smiley

Well, mine is pretty old. And only has like 512 mb of RAM, I think. I'll just stick with my desktop for now.

It turns out my computer didn't have a problem at all, it was my phone. the error on my phone "not available delete paired device" meant I had to many connection saved (I have 2 pages). So I deleted some of my connections I no longer use and viola! My phone connected... HELLO WIRELESS TRANSFER AND TETHERING.

Congrats on figuring it out! One warning though (although you probably know this) don't tether too much with a standard medianet data plan because technically, your supposed to have a tethering plan. I think if you go over 5 gigs of data, you will get charged.
Reading around the internet brought up that not too many people have actually been charged, but I would still be careful not to overdo it on the tethering.

I'm aware of that, I do less than a gig of month, I keep it down by not watching videos on youtube but thanks for the reminder.
