Update: I've managed to tape over pin 51 on the card. I used a tiny piece of electrical tape. Actually, it was easier than I expected, since pin 51 stands alone on this card, so I didn't have to worry about accidentally covering any neighboring pins. I started the machine with Windows 10, went to device manager, and updated the driver (chose online update). The driver was updated, and the machine asked for a reboot. I rebooted, but the problem was still there. Then I chose to disable the built in "Thinkpad Bluetooth 3.0" device and the "Bluetooth Module", then did an update again on the latter, did another restart, and... voila!... the Bluetooth Module works. Smile

Now I'm wondering if it was really the pin 51 the problem, or simply the system couldn't manage the two BT modules in the laptop together. But I don't really care, it works at last. Since BT on this card is BT 4.0, I'm happy with it. Smile

Now comes the linux part...
@ValdikSS: thank you very much for the tips!
