I really wish I could upgrade my system to 8.01 (5DCN90WW) but there's no link available on Lenovo official website, therefore I'm stuck with 2.07 (5DCN40WW).

I previously upgraded to 0.90 (5DCN87WW) but then I realized that it was actually a beta BIOS. While there was no significant changes, I decided to revert back to 2.07 just in case.

There are lots of 8.01 BIOS available on the web, but the file does not contain an EC update, which is quite frustrating.

P.S. - Kudos to svl7, the GHz edition did give a slight performance increase during gaming (though there's also an increase in heat output).

Try the HDD on other computers if possible. If the problem persisted, it's very likely that the HDD is faulty.

However, judging by the problems of the peripherals in your system, you might wanna get it checked by the technician. There might be some problem with the mainboard power delivery to the USB ports.

IIRC, some folks down over at NBR have them already - go check it out: you might just be sold either on the 900p Y410p or just the fact that Optimus (although with what IGPU I don't know) and SLI no longer mutually exclude each other. (I hear reports of 5 hours' worth of battery - checks out with me; the rMBP with an ~8500 mAh battery gets 7.)

In the meantime, I'll be right here downclocking to Atom-area speeds just to see how to get an hour more or so out of the battery.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check that out.

Lenovo is preparing to launch the new models of the Y series anyways. The Y500 with GT750M is most likely just a minor change.

Here's the link to the site for the brand new 14-inch model, the Y410p, featuring GT750M and Intel Core i7-4700MQ (Haswell). IdeaPad Y410p High-Performance 14" Multimedia Laptop from Lenovo | Lenovo (US)

Availability for other regions may vary.

Pretty sure there's going to be either Y510 or Y510p with even more powerful GPU. Maybe GTX765M to rival with the new Razer Blade.

Open up device manager and in the top menubar, select SHOW DISABLED DEVICES.

report back if you see the bluetooth adapter now

It's also possible that it's shown as Microsoft Generic BT Adapter or something similar.

"Show Disabled Devices" selected, Bluetooth devices still not found. I've decided to do a full format and reinstalled Windows 8, Bluetooth still won't show up.

However, after experimenting with other OS (Ubuntu 13.04 Live CD), Bluetooth stack was detected and appears to be operational.

I'm starting to suspect that it might be Windows 8 itself might be the culprit, or maybe my system needs a new BIOS?

I think they have a word for that called drivers.

Check the driver page of the Y580.

If using an intel adapter I suggest you look at the intel website.

Another suggestion is, when your drivers are installed, if the setting exist, disable BLUETOOTH AMP. It's a real pain and can cause the bluetooth icon to crash and the adapter to be disabled.

Hope I helped you.

I already downloaded the driver from Lenovo. But the driver won't install since the system does not detect it. There is no yellow exclamation mark or any unknown devices in device manager.

P.S. - According to the part list, it's a Broadcom bluetooth stack.

Hello, I'm wondering if this is a universal issue with Lenovo notebooks. I've had a Y580 for about three months now and it's a pretty good gaming laptop, except for one irritating issue. Bluetooth will not show up in Windows 8. It's the only hardware missing from the system after an upgrade from Windows 7. Since the system will not detect Bluetooth, I could not install the driver. Trying Fn+F5 also does not work. My system has the latest BIOS available from Lenovo, the 5DCN40WW. Any suggestions, please?
