Getting the Bluetooth Driver to install on my Inspiron 1420
Hi,
I went to the Dell Drivers and Downloads site in order to get a driver for my bluetooth. The driver I found was C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R140135, I checked the compatibility and it is supposed to be compatible with my system and Windows Vista 32 bit. However, whenever I try to install it, a window pops up instructing me to push Fn+F2 or the Radio on/off switch. Fn+F2 does not work and there is no radio switch. I tried to start over from the beginning, now it's telling my I need Windows Vista to install this driver ... I am using Windows Vista. I checked the Device Manager ... no exlamation points or question marks. Does anyone know what's going on???
Thanks,
Rannuda

I replaced Vista 32 bit with Windows 7 32 bit and I get the same problem trying to install the Blue Tooth driver on my Vostro 1500.
Please help

I had the same issue. Very frustrating. I have the same Inspiron 1420 w/windows 7. Found this webpage:

Installed the file & it worked! Good luck.

Eyceman360 - You rock. The patch fixed the problem on my Vostro 1500 running a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

I have the same problem. However, when I tried the link you gave. This shows,
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
and so I still can't get my bluetooth to work. do have any other suggestion or solution that i can use.
thank you very much.
