[Marie318]

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, windows 7, 64 Bit Labtop. I need help finding out whether or not this model has the Bluetooth card already installed. Im not sure what im looking for under the component list on the Dell Support Site. My Tag # is : FJJZ8L1
Any Help with this would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks, Marie

I'm trying to get my Bluetooth to work on my inspiron 1545 labtop but actually need to know if this model came with the Bluetooth card installed so I can activate it or if I will have to put one in it. all over it says some did and some did not depends on model.
on the dell support site, you can use my tag # to view component list to see what it came with but I don't know what im looking for to find the Bluetooth card.

Go to the Device Manager is it listed there ? Might be under System Devices ?

 

[Marie318]

No its not listed

 

[maxie]

Have you got the Wireless Enabled .. Its the third key from left hand side top row ...

 

[Marie318]

yes it only turns on and off my wireless

 

[maxie]

It is suppose to activate the Bluetooth also ... Have you just Re-Installed Windows ?

When did you notice that you had no Bluetooth Device ?


Have you any Errors in the Device Manager ?

 

[Marie318]

No errors and not sure Bluetooth ever worked, just wanted it too, and yes I have reinstalled windows

 

[Marie318]

Did you Install the Chipset Driver from the Dell Website ?

 

[Marie318]

No, do I need too?

 

[maxie]

Yes that could make a big difference ...

 

[Marie318]

Intel GM45 Express Chipset Family, v.9.1.1.1019, A03
or
Realtek RTS5158E Card Reader, v.6.1.7100.30087, A00

The Intel GM45 Express Chipset Family, v.9.1.1.1019, A03

 

[Marie318]
