Hi, MDacerGuy,

Perhaps asking the obvious, but is the bluetooth radio on? press fn + the antenna button (i believe 2) then both wifi and bluetooth are turned on.

[MDacerGuy]

no problem asking obvious because i didnt/dont know how to turn it on

but hitting that key combo simpy toggled be on/off(wifi) and airplane mode

at least from what I could tell

what indicator is there to let you know that bluetooth is one?(or off)

but shouldnt there be some bluetooth software or program on the computer?

drivers etc?

what do i need on my computer

You could check the following (I have the dutch version of windows 8.1, so hope you can follow).

1. activate the charmbar (on the right side).

2. Go to 'settings'

3. go to 'pc settings' which is down below.

4. go to 'pc and devices' (first one in the list)

5. click bluetooth. Now you should see the status of your bluetooth radio.

hope this helps!

I feel like a doorknob

But thanks for your steps, in pc and devices bluetooth simply wasnt..................turned on.

Its nice for people like you to give people simple answer without being "flamed"

Appreciate it
