Bluetooth Headphones (Philips SHB9000) Paired but won't connect
I've been searching for the problem and trying out solutions but none have worked so far. I registered here so I can ask for help anyway.
Months ago, these headphones were fine. They connected to the PC and songs were played flawlessly. However, as I tried it again today, it didn't work. I turned on the headphones then the blue light blinked quickly, indicating that it's on but is not connected. Then I tried to play a song on the PC. But instead of playing that song, it played a different song instead.
It turns out that it was connected to the iPod. So I turned off the iPod's bluetooth and waited for the headphones to connect to the PC. But it didn't work.
The headphones were already paired but it refused to connect. When I right-click it, there is no connect or any other options. Only Properties and Troubleshooting were in bold letters.
I removed the device and tried to pair it again. They did connect, but then it stopped again. Stating "device driver not found". But I checked the official website and it said it didn't need a driver. On Devices and Printers, a yellow triangle was displayed near the icon of the device.
Again I tried to google for a solution. So I tried to update the drivers from Device Managers -> Update Driver Software and manually install the driver -> PORTS (COM & LTP) -> Microsoft (Standard Serial over Bluetooth link). The yellow triangle disappeared, but it still DOESN'T WORK.
Frustrated, I tried a to pair it with my phone. But my phone was unable to discover it.
On my laptop and mobile phone, it was undiscoverable.
I've rebooted numerous times and it still doesn't work.
I have absolutely no clue on what else to do.
help??
(Also tried the Broadcomm driver update, but it's unsupported)
I've read:

Automatically connect to bluetooth headset? nope - The screenshot of the OP is what I see. There is no "Listen to Music option"
