OK. I´ve seen both the BT hardware missing problem, AND this disconnect problem. I have a brand new 15" AlBook, and after five days I awoke it from sleep, and found a new symbol instead of the usual BlueTooth symbol. As I try to use the BT mouse to inspect the symbol I find it isn´t working. As I use the trackpad I find out it´s actually telling me that BT hardware is not available. I fiddle around a bit to see if there´s a place to turn it on, before I resolve to the Win9X way of fixing things; Turn off, turn on. Tadaaa!
When it comes to the disconnects, I see it all the time. The dialup exits with the "No response" error. This is after I´ve been on from 10 seconds to to.three minutes. I even have to pair my P800 and AlBook ALL the time, as it otherwise will report "Modem not responding"... This is REALLY annoying. My old IBM ThinkPad never gave me this kind of problems!
As if this wasn´t enough grievance with the computer, the fan really sounds like it´s touching something in there. (Or it might be that it´s a little wobbly.) It makes the whole machine vibrate a little when it runs.
On top of this, my spanking new BT wireless mouse AND 20GB iPod I got for christmas has started acting up as well!
What is this? Is Apple conspiring to drive me nuts? The mouse won´t switch off as it´s supposed to do when I shut the sensor, and the iPods display keeps turning back to low contrast + it makes a whistling sound when using backlight.
Give me strength!
