I doubt that's it. I think it was some software problem.

The device is back online after a couple of restarts. I don't know what resulted in the sudden recognition of the device.

You are missing the point. I don't want to add hardware unless I really have to. Until it is concluded that the bluetooth chip is dead, I will look to restore it.

Thanks, but I do not wish to keep inserting / removing the dongle unless absolutely necessary. This would also permanently block 1 usb port for the dongle. Let's see if someone has any other suggestions

Hi, Though my problem is similar to a few other threads, I feel it is different enough to post a new three I have recently purchased the Samsung Level U and paired it with my 5 month old Dell 5570. I could hear some distortion when playing youtube or other videos on the laptop. To solve this...

Yes, the drivers I installed are from the nVidia website.

Managed to get Win 7 installed. Everything was fine in the beginning and I was beginning to think it was a software issue. But as soon as I installed the video driver and restarted the laptop, the problem returned. The OS hangs upon loading. There were 3 components in the driver package that I...

Alright, what you say makes sense. But I am sure I have rotated fans countless times before and haven't seen anything bad happen. Anyway, I will post back later with some findings
