I have a Lenovo laptop, running Windows 7, 64-bit. It's 3 years old but has ran perfectly until now. The issue i'm having isn't with my laptop,however, but it did create the problem...
After doing a routine update, my laptop wouldn't start up. I was forced to do a system restore, so I lost everything. It was set back to factory settings. I got it going again, it's fine, but my bluetooth headphones won't work anymore. It says I need to install a bluetooth peripheral device driver. I have tried a few solutions others have had, like downloading a driver (every time I tried, it said network error, but I am online so I don't know why it didn't download). I also tried installing something called "windows mobile device center' which didn't help at all, and I could do nothing with it, I can't even uninstall it so now i'm stuck with it I guess, but it's useless. I also tried right clicking on all my bluetooth icons (under device manager) and updating through there, sometimes some of them successfully 'updated', but nothing changed so I doubt anything really happened.
I CAN add my headphones to my laptop, it shows up under the bluetooth devices, but it has the yellow exclamation point saying to troubleshoot, and of course when I do, it says there are no drivers installed. The headphones didn't come with a CD, they were simple to install and took 5 minutes, apparently my laptop at the time had the right driver, which now apparently it lost in the system restore. But I never installed any BEFORE either. I actually did have this same problem a year ago, but miraculously it fixed itself through no doing of my own, and I still don't know how it suddenly worked. But now my problem is going on 3 days and i'm sick of researching more useless 'fixes'.
It shows up in my bluetooth devices but not under my audio playback devices. (if that helps)
My headphones are MEE Electronics Venture AF52, if that matters.
Anyone have any ideas?
