I have purchased a Toshiba Satellite Model PSM40A-08L009, which I am sure has bluetooth. i have checked the base of my laptop and it has a label on it (248H-DPA3232B bluetooth operation system) on it.

But yet when I try a new connection it keeps coming up with "Bluetooth not ready". I have checked to see that it appears on. and am rather stumped. I have read on this site that some Toshiba Laptops only have the software and not the hardware, but am not sure this is the case with my model.

Appreciate if any one can lend some words to some one who is normally ok around a computer, but is feeling very siliconally challenged!
