Dell E1505 upgraded to Windows 7 - base system device and bluetooth issues
I just upgraded to Windows 7 on my Dell E1505 and I seem to have everything working except a couple base system device's showing up bad in the device manager and i read about using the driver for the 370 instead of the 350 which i have in this machine see here http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19296538/19560036.aspx#19560036
here are screen shots of my device manager problems, and the bluetooth issue,it seems to be there now but not functioning and has a red X there. It says not connected and i can't figure out how to connect it,maybe i just dont know how to set it up(apparently) Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

It actually didn't put the bluetooth drivers on there when i used the 370 drivers.It looks like it just made some sort of virtual wifi connection? I uninstalled it and will try again. Some of you had luck with it, so there must be a way of doing it and that must be what is missing in my device manager still( the bluetooth card drivers)

Hi, Install the chipset and ricoh drivers for the system from support.dell.com for windows vista 32 bit incase you have upraded the system to win 7 32 bit.
Incase you have upgraded the system to 64 bit download the drivers from the intel support website.
For Bluetooth just download the drivers for windows vista 32 bit and it would all be fine.
Reply incase it doesn't work.

The "Base System Device" is the Ricoh media card reader. Here's the approrpriate driver.
As for Bluetooth, you need to install the "Patch" driver provided by Dell, here.

DUDE! You are the greatest! I have been struggling to find the Base System Device driver for quite awhile. Your Ricoh media card reader driver took care of BOTH of the missing devices! Awesome!

All the Vista 32 bit drivers will work for your system except for Bluetooth. Do not use the Vista 32 bit driver for the Bluetooth.
Use the Bluetooth 370 driver R226750, Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> I have an Inspiron 6400 and the Vista driver would crash Windows Explorer R226750 works perfectly. Once the driver is installed reboot and press Fn and F2 (wifi/bluetooth switched off) wait 10 seconds and press Fn and F2 again (wifi/bluetooth switched on).
Full install instructions for this system are available here. Note this system has Media Direct.
