Sony Vaio Vgn-ar350e Bluetooth Info?
Hello,I am looking for any info on the bluetooth for the sony Vaio VGN-AR350e model laptop. Mine has never worked since I bought the laptop. I went looking for the driver but it does not exist. i have called Sony and the answer I got was.."Hmmm that is odd your right we have no driver info of any kind on our driver site or in our data base..." I asked for the bluetooth module part number to see if I can find more on getting a new one or finding a driver but Sony doesn't know their own part number either or any info about it. I would never buy sony again they have no idea on the products they make. So if anyone has any info on the bluetooth driver, module part number or if its integrated or built into the wificard or anything please let me know.

It looks as though it is somehow connected to your integrated LAN solutions, which is the Intel 3945ABG. Have you tried Fn+F5 to turn on the Bluetooth? If that does not do the trick, try the following solution:
- Go to System ---> Hardware and uninstall: any bluetooth except for Bus enumerator, Intel 3945ABG;
- Go to Install applications and uninstall: Access Connections, Bluetooth software, Intel 3945 driver;
(If you cannot uninstall AC, reinstall it by downloading from Lenovo and THEN uninstall it.)
- Press Fn+F5 and deactivate the BT
- Reboot keeping the WIRELESS/BT physical switch ON
- Let it install the wireless card Intel 3945ABG
- Install in the order: Intel 3945ABG driver update (try to connect to test the driver), BTSoftware
- Press Fn+F5 and activate BT
- Let it install all the BT drivers
- Reboot keeping the WIRELESS/BT switch ON
- Try the BT and the Wireless connecition. IF IT WORKS, go further
- Switch the BT/WIRELESS OFF
- Install Access Connections
- Reboot keeping the WIRELESS/BT switch OFF
- Switch the BT/WIRELESS ON
- Reboot keeping the WIRELESS/BT switch ON
- Now it should work!
