2nd hand Edge, Bluetooth option blacked out, could use some help..

kaz1 · 05-19-2012, 02:08 AM

Hi guys,

I bought an Edge some time ago on ebay. I had midterms for a while, so I didn't have much time to tinker with it. Now I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with the bluetooth, as I wanted to pair it with a bt keyboard.
This is how it looks:

The Bluetooth is greyed out, I don't know why, the owner says he had it for a short time and didn't use bt. Perhaps someone here knows why it is greyed out, and whether I can make it operational?

Thanks,
Eli

Very simple - switch off (untick) airplane mode.

I should thank you for posting the picture, otherwise we would have been looking at all the deep reasons why it wasn't working. It is also why I get annoyed when people just post something like 'it doesn't work' without giving as many details as possible.
