    Laptop can't find bluetooth speaker


    Been trying to get my laptop to find and add my bluetooth speaker but it is not finding it at all. My phone was able to find it easily but it is not showing up on the laptop. Have tried the older fixes I have found on the site but it doesn't help?

    Anybody have any ideas on what the issue is or how to fix it?

    Hi dragon252525,

    Have to make device discoverable.

    Windows 7

    1. Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it discoverable. The way you make it discoverable depends on the device. ...
    2. Select the Start button. > Devices and Printers.
    3. Select Add a device > select the device > Next.
    4. Follow any other instructions that might appear. Otherwise, you're done and connected.

    Device is on and is discoverable. I had managed to locate it using my phone but it is not showing up when I search on my laptop

    Is your speaker connected to your laptop via cable? If not, do you have a bluetooth adapter installed?

    Do you mean if I am using a dongle or if there is bluetooth already available on the laptop? Dongle no, bluetooth is available and turned on

    Yes, that's what I meant. What is the model number of your Acer?
