Bluetooth Network Connection (Not Connected)

[J0Mark]

Well i am having some problems turning on my built in Bluetooth adapter (Atheros Bluetooth Suite 64bit Windows 7) on my Vizio laptop. It doesn't seem to have an enable button. It all started yesterday when i was trying to connect a Bluetooth device to my laptop. it was connecting to the Bluetooth but when it connected, i got an error saying "Bluetooth Peripheral Device HID not installed". I started searching for the drivers but no success and eventually messed with " Bluetooth Virtual Devices" in "Device Manager" causing the problem of my Bluetooth not working. However i believe i fixed the problem with my Bluetooth Peripheral Device HID using Driver Navigation tool today. I managed to install drivers for Atheros Bluetooth Suite but i am still having problems getting the Bluetooth to discover other devices, it shows that my bluetooth is off and nothing is being discovered. Help with resolving my problem would be greatly appreciated.

Well i tried pressing that button before and i did it again but still no luck with the Bluetooth. My Internet is working fine and it responds to the same button. Here is my Vizio model CT14-A0.

Have you tried to enable the Device through the Device Manager .. Maybe the easiest way to resolve the issue would be a Restore point before the problem started ..

How do i enable it through Device Manager? I have been looking for a way to do so and i never found it. Also i don't see a restore point for the day this error occurred because of the many times i installed and uninstalled drivers for my laptop trying to resolve my problem.

In the System tray click on the Bluetooth Device select settings tick the box that says Allow Bluetooth Devices to find this computer .. In the Hardware Tab what does the Device Status say ?

 

[J0Mark]

Device Status " This device is working Properly."

 

[maxie]

Open the Task Manager then Services .. Can you see the Device there and what is it Status ?

 

[J0Mark]

Bluetooth Device Monitor-------- Running
Bluetooth OBEX Service -------- Stopped
Bluetooth Media Service -------- Stopped

 

[maxie]

Did you Download the Driver from the Manufacturer Website .. If so try updating the Driver ..

Well i installed Driver Navigation and it scanned my laptop for problems and brought up problems with my Bluetooth. It gave me the opportunity to download and install those driver but i don't know if it was downloaded from the manufacturer.
Where can i obtain drivers for this ?

Is this suppose to be like this?-
Bluetooth OBEX Service -------- Stopped
Bluetooth Media Service -------- Stopped
??

You can Download the Driver from the Link below ... Then Uninstall the old Driver first

So from my Device Manager which stuff do i uninstall ?

 

[maxie]

The Atheros Driver ...

 

[J0Mark]

When i try to install bluetooth_suite_win_7 it says " This installation package cannot be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is this is a valid windows installer package"

What do i do ?

 

[maxie]

It could be a corrupt Download lets try and eliminate that first ... Download the Intel Chipset Driver it is very small .. Just want to see if it will Install ..

 

[J0Mark]

It installed successfully

 

[maxie]

Looks like a corrupt Download then you may try again

So should i download it again from the same site ?
