How to turn on bluetooth on a laptop. A few simple tips

Despite the fact that with every day of portable technology, consumers around the world are becoming more and more, not all users know how to turn on bluetooth on a laptop, and in general it is built into a laptop. This article will tell readers how to determine if there is a Bluetooth on their laptop and how to activate it, if for some reason it refuses to work properly.

The technology of wireless data transmission called "Bluetooth" in the past few years is at the height of its glory. Communicators, mobile phones and smartphones running a variety of operating systems almost always have an integrated bluetooth module in their arsenal. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that with the development of portable technology, this technology is increasingly found in laptops and netbooks. But sometimes it turns out that turning on the bluetooth on a laptop is not so easy. Let's look at the most common problems that the owners of these devices face.

To begin with, you need to make sure that the bluetooth module is actually built in the laptop you purchased. After all, sometimes negligent or not very honest sellers with confidence declare that the "blue tooth" (it is literally possible to translate the name of this technology from the English language) into a laptop computer is built in, but in fact it is simply not in the laptop. Sometimes this is also due to the fact that the device manufacturer supplies its products with all the necessary software, without embedding the module itself. This is done on the assumption that, if necessary, the user installs an external module in the laptop and can use it immediately, without installing additional drivers and programs.

Before you turn on the bluetooth on the laptop, you need to make sure that it is actually in the device. To do this is quite simple - you need to look at the bottom panel of the laptop. If the device is installed in a laptop, as a rule, in this area the manufacturer draws a logo of the bluetooth, confirming the presence of the necessary module in the device. This sticker is necessary for licensing the built-in module and almost always is a guarantee of its presence in the laptop. If there is no such sticker, then for proper work of the bluetooth it is necessary to acquire a suitable external adapter.

If you are convinced that the device in the laptop is present, let's move on to the question of how to turn on the bluetooth on the laptop. In most cases, this is done using the same key that starts the Wi-Fi module. To find it very simply - this button almost always shows an antenna. Moreover, this key can be located in a number of functional keys ("F1", "F2" and so on, performing additional functions by pressing simultaneously with the "Fn" key) and displayed in a separate button on the notebook case.

But how to turn on the bluetooth on the laptop, if after pressing the corresponding button nothing happens? First, you need to make sure that there are all installed drivers to the module. If there is no laptop on the hard drive, you can try to download and install all necessary software directly from the manufacturer's website. Do not forget that in some models of laptops bluetooth can only be enabled using a special program. After installation, you can find it in the tray - a small menu in the lower right corner of the display (very close to the clock). But how to turn on bluetooth in the laptop, if this program is not installed? Again, visit the official website of the manufacturer and download for your notebook model all the necessary software.

Now that you know how to turn on the bluetooth on your laptop, it's time to try to connect a mobile phone or bluetooth headset (it can work in headphone and microphone mode) and check the device's functionality.
