yes it can, go into bios, see if it shows up there. It may be disabled. Also in bios, you can set your wireless switch to turn on and off the bluetooth, wireless card, and or broadband card.  If the bluetooth is installed and turned on. There will be a blue, bluetooth symbol near your on/off switch.  If it is not installed, it can be ordered and installed. You can download the service manual for the m1330 on support page. It will show how to install.  Cost is around 30.00. Message Edited by hotrent1 on 09-28-2008 09:50 AM
