I have an Advent 5311, i have paired my phone {nokia} with my laptop, but every time i try to send pictures from my phone it says make sure the other device is turned on. I cant find where i turn it on. I looked in the control panel but i couldn't see it any-ware. Please can anyone help me, (my phones bluetooth is turned on and not hidden.

Try FN+F10 to enable/disable the Bluetooth.

the bluetooth on your laptop is only an on/off switch for a bluetooth thats plugged into the usb port, you will have to buy one yourself

if you go to control panel, switch it to classic view if its not on that and look for device manager, that shows all the things that make up your computer. look for something with bluetooth in the name, probably in other devices or something. anyway it should be the only thng that says bluetooth. right click and turn on(or enable etc.)

just had a google.. are you sure your laptop has bluetooth? i couldnt see it in the specs.
you might need to buy a usb adapter also most laptops with bluetooth havce a button under the screen or to the side of the keyboard with the bluetooth symbol... obvious but who knows you might not have checked. plus what they said
