    Intermittant problem with new bluetooth connection


    I have a Dell studio 15 with Windows 7 and Bluetooth. I am trying to install Manhattan 2800 Bluetooth bookshelf speakers. They sometimes play but disconnect intermittently. When Bluetooth disconnects I have to completely shut down and start over. (I haven't been able to fix it with just Restart.)

    Here is a clue:
    In "devices and Printers" it shows the laptop as a device:
    Studio 15 [properties]

    Selecting: [Bluetooth L2CAP Interface] -- properties/General
    "Device status
    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

    Selecting: [Bluetooth Hands free audio] -- properties
    Driver= Broadcom Corp, 7/1/2009,6.2.0.9500
    Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware compatibility Publisher.

    The speaker documentation indicates Bluetooth v1.2, class 2 and A2DP protocol support

    The Bluetooth icon on the bar at the bottom of the desktop disappears when the connection breaks while looking at properties.

    This might be related -- I also have a Kensington Bluetooth trackball mouse that has intermittent problems with connecting at start-up. When the mouse doesn't work at start-up, I can usually make it work by removing its batteries and putting them back.

    Advice will be appreciated,

    You could consider getting a USB based Bluetooth adapter exclusively for your speakers. One that supports A2DP would be perfect.

    Here are a few:

    Newegg.com - ASUS USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle USB 2.0
    Amazon.com: IOGEAR USB 2.1 Bluetooth Micro Adapter (GBU421): Electronics

    Thanks,

    How will a USB based Bluetooth adapter interact with my current internal Bluetooth?

    Do I disable the current internal setup to use a USB based Bluetooth adapter?

    Also, can internal Bluetooth devices be updated or replaced?
