Bluetooth device gone.

[smeetsmeister]

Hi all!

I had a bluetooth device on my laptop. On vista it worked properly. I just installed Windows 7 and i wanted to use my Bluetooth to connect to my phone. But sadly, it didn't work. So i tried to install drivers, but i can't find the device at all in devicemanager. Do you have any sugestions what to do? I don't remember the name of the device, so i can't search online for drivers..

So what drivers did you try to install, and is the bluetooth service running in services?

I think you will find standard win7 bluetooth stack is incomplete, and you need to head to broadcomm (Broadcom.com - Bluetooth Software Download) or bluesoleil (BlueSoleil, the most easy-to-use, innovative and interoperable Bluetooth software, Bluetooth driver) and download a complete bluetooth stack.

I do have the same problem...
Thanks Pusspa for the software, but the installer does not find any bluetooth device and I can not make the device visable.

the wireless assistant does not want to turn the device on.

try this Belkin : Support : F8T012/F8T013 Driver. Choose the vista driver, and just install it, it dosent need to be in compatability mode.

I still cannot make the integrated bluetooth device visable :/

 

[Pusspa]

can you supply system specs, i think i got ahead of myself and we need the system drivers before we can install the bluetooth stack. you need to be specific regarding the specs, for instance my laptop is dv6000 series, but is actually a dv6519tx.

My computer is a HP 4515s, 4GB RAM, AMD turion x2 dual core 2.3 GHz, Broadcom 4322AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Adapter
and now running windows 7 professional, 64 bit

the bluetooth device worked fine with XP, and I have tried to install the xp drivers in compatibility mode, but it was no good.

on the hp site there is a win7 x64 driver for bluetooth for your laptop (HP 4515s). it's here: HP ProBook 4515s Notebook PC*-* Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth Software and Driver - HP Business Support Center

Thanks fot the efford, but even this installer does not find the device...
Is there any way to make the device visable for the installer or to install the software without making the device visable for the installer?

In the HP wireless assistant, I can not make the device visable :/

 

[Pusspa]

have you found the switch that turns on bluetooth?

 

[comanche]

Yes, it is turned on, this switch turns on/off wlan and bluetooth. If it was off, I wouldn't be able to use wlan.

The BT device worked fine on XP.
