Bendsley, I use bluetooth everyday, I know what the logo looks like
Apparently, even though installed on some HP's, it will not work until software initialized via an HP harware control program of some sort that comes installed. Seems like a lot of people who do have bluetooth don't even know it and have never turned the radio on since it requires using a software program to intialize upon first boot.
Craven, Thank you for the info. I've googled this to death at this point, but mostly I get pages of sellers for the laptop. If the NC series have it standard, there is reason to think that the Nx series does as well.
Do you have a program on your laptop at Start > All Programs > Software Setup ?
Apparently, that program needs to be run at first boot to activate bluetooth. From the HP (generic) bluetooth guide:
Quote:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Software Setup.
2. When the Software Setup Welcome window is displayed, select Next.
3. Select the check box next to Bluetooth by hp to enable the software for installation,
and then select Next.
4. Select Finish to complete the installation and to restart the computer.
