Lenovo 3000 G430 - Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

[kimjaezie]

I'm using a laptop which the brand is Lenovo 3000 G430. just want to know whether this laptop had provided a Bluetooth and Wi-fi or not. I noticed somewhere in the system that this laptop has a Bluetooth application embedded into it. and sadly, I couldn't use it. I don't know if I'm mistaken about it or the drivers for Bluetooth and Wi-fi had gone missing.

can someone help me to fix my problem? your help is kindly appreciated

Just read the user guide and my laptop supposedly have a Bluetooth and Wi-fi but it doesn't work. tried to re-install both drivers and the installation failed. nothing happened.

what happened to my laptop actually? do I need to get a new Wi-fi card or something? how should I fix this?

It is embedded, search for device manager and look under network adapters and tell me what is listed under that.

it listed Broadcom 590x 10/100 Ethernet and Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter

it listed Broadcom 590x 10/100 Ethernet

that's the wired NIC

and Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter

and this is your WiFi.
on the WiFi adapter (with a wired connection to the Internet), dbl-click on the device and UPDATE driver

Let's assume Bluetooth is there and active - - what BT devices do you have and what happens when you use the device to find the PC?

I dont think updating will help because there must be a reason why it is not available to her. try downloading from here, though I cannot find your adapter.
