How to install Bluetooth driver on Lenovo G550 laptop

[RomnBflo]

My Lenovo G550 does not come equipped with Bluetooth. I think there is a way to install a driver which will install Bluetooth. Can anyone walk me through the steps on where I can find such a driver and how to install it on my laptop? Thank you kindly.

I downloaded file and tried to install. Got just about all the way to the end and then I got this message: "No Bluetooth device was detected. Please make sure that your Bluetooth device is plugged in properly in order to continue installation."

I just have a little Ihip Sound Machine speaker that I want to hook up. It told me it was 'ready' but nothing seemed to happen. I know it works, because I've had it paired with my phone previously. Funny thing, just as I was typing that last line, the speaker started beeping at me. 3 or 4 times. Just thinking now, maybe I should turn Bluetooth off on my phone - maybe its overriding having my computer detect it?

if you go to control panel ,view by small icons, device manager ,does it show device/s with exclamation marks or saying unknown device. thing is if the other drivers were not setup for the machine after windows install such as chipset drivers then it wont detect bluetooth yet and thinks it is not there for installing

Another idea is if bluetooth has been turned off in bios to disable when it should be enable, save and exit, then driver would know it's there on install too

None of that works as desribeb may just mean there is no bluetooth modules inside that lappy after all. Always ebay a usb 2.0 bluetooth receiver dongle, if you gotta have it. cheap things

Followed the steps you laid out ... device manager etc. All except the 'bios ... save ... exit' segment - because I don't know what that means.

But, alas ... seems like there are no bluetooth modules inside my lappy.
Would have been neat to get Mr. Blue set up.
Just have to run a set of wired speakers. No huge deal, really.

Huge thanks for lending your savvy to finding a solution, none the less.
