Theres no unrecognised devices in device manager and theres no bluetooth in control panel.
I am able to see my computer in my mobile phone when I search for bluetooth
devices but even then the name that is displayed is that of the bluetooth card and not of my computer.
I searched dell.com for drivers but there are none that are specifically for bluetooth.
I had thought I saw the drivers for this on Dell before, but when I went to start installing, I saw there are now only Vista drivers.
Additionally, when I go ahead and try to install it, it blue screens during setup, very early, repeatedly.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Does anyone here have a list of what drivers they are using with Windows 7 64 bit ?
I am about to rebuild my laptop and I am wanting to use the latest versions - including any from any 3rd party vendors like Intel, ATI etc.
I just tried connecting my ps3 controllers to my laptop and I realized its not detecting my bluetooth adapter. I am on a probook 470 g1 with a realtek 8188 ee wifi card, is the bluetooth adapter built into it ?
Â
I have tried ALL drivers on the support page, realtek bluetooth driver for win 8.1 says that don't have a realtek bluetooth adapter.

Does my probook 470G1 even have bluetooth? or is this a windows 8.1 driver issue ....
I have bought a new Studio XPS 1640 laptop without the 370 bluetooth module and I was wondering if i can buy it off eBay.
The module is a Dell 370 and it's compatible with the studio 1535. Will it be comaptible to my XPS 1640?
i cant find Bluetooth drivers of hp 15-g009ax for windows 7 64 bit
View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought at DELL OUTLET a M6400 without the Bluetooth Module, I will buy it separate from DELL, do you know if the Bluetooth antenas will be Pre-Wired in the notebook ?,
actually I am buying the DELL 410 Bluetooth + UWB card, meaning I need the Pre-Wiring for Bluetooth and UWB ?
I noticed a few other threads around the internet about this issue, but couldnt find a definitive answer on how to get it fixed, so I thought I would try it here.
The problem is that when I go into standby and wake from it, my bluetooth icon disappears and bluetooth doesnt work.
I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 running Vista 64 with the Dell bluetooth 370 minicard. Ive tried using the generic windows bluetooth drivers as well as Dell's drivers.
Nothing appears in device manager as well. I have to manually go into bluetooth settings, disable the device, then re-enable it.
My Bluetooth keyboard goes to sleep after a period of idle and it takes 15 seconds for the Acer Aspire 1810T to wake up and notice the Bluetooth keypresses.
However, I found out my Bluetooth keyboard works reliably when I have a second Bluetooth device connected and active at the time (such as either a headset or bluetooth tethering to a cellphone as modem), the computer doesn't have a 15 second lag in noticing the Bluetooth keyboard again - the keyboard works almost right away even after being unused for sometime.
So that means the culprit is in the power management on the Acer Bluetooth module. Is there a way to force the Bluetooth module to never go to sleep? Any checkbox somewhere, a register setting? Even going as far to purchase a different Bluetooth driver? Or any other option? Sometimes the sleep is useful, but it definitely isn't useful with the Bluetooth keyboard. This problem does not happen if I use an external Bluetooth dongle.
(With BatteryBar Pro, I notice that power consumption falls suddenly whenever the Bluetooth module goes to sleep when the keyboard goes idle for more than 30 seconds, and at this point, it has difficulty 'waking up' when I start typing on the Bluetooth keyboard. But the problem also still happens when the laptop is plugged in!)
I have finally tested the Acer Empowering Technology software on my Acer D150.
Great news, the software works to enable/disable the Bluetooth module on the netbook without physically pressing the button. This is great for people like me that do not have the button on top to push the button inside. There are two software needed for people to get this running on the D150. First is the required “Acer Empowering Framework” software and the second is the “Acer ePower Management.” Once both software are installed on the system, the setting to enable/disable the Bluetooth module is in the ePower Management.
Power profiles within windows will probably be reset to default, so those would have to be readjusted if a user changed them. I am actually running Windows Vista on my Acer D150 with the Acer Empowering Technology software for Vista. I am not 100% sure if the software will also work on XP, but from the notebookreview forums, I believe it should work just as fine (but more options on other Empowering Technology software).
(in XP, the driver also works, but need XP edition, not vista editon).
I have need to use Bluetooth stereo audio functionality (A2DP profile) almost exclusively when I use my laptop.
I had owned a M1330 with the Dell 355 Bluetooth Module for several years without issue. Last November, I decided to upgrade and purchased an M15x (laptop #1) with the Dell 370 Bluetooth module included,running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Not more than one day out of the box,the 370 module failed while watching a movie. It literally disappeared from device manager and no uninstalling/reinstallation of drivers alleviated the situation. The only way to get the radio to be recognized by the operating system was, and is, to shutdown,reboot into bios,disable the card in bios,reboot into windows,restart,boot into bios,enable the card and then reboot into Windows. The card would then work for awhile but eventually fail again. The module works for short periods of time but if put under an extended load,fails. That and other issues with the M15x caused me to return it.
Contacted Dell and returned the M15x and bought and built a Studio XPS 1645 (laptop #2) to replace it. Received the unit and literally within the 1st few hours,the 370 module failed exactly like the M15x.I thought o.k. a bad card and had tech support send out a new module for the XPS 1645. Received and installed it and the exact same problem happened. Failed when under an extended load. Again called tech support and was then dispatched an onsite tech to replace the entire motherboard and card. No resolution-card failed again. Spoke with a resolution specialist and returned it and again purchased a M15x (laptop #3-really liked the M15x over the XPS 1645)
Received the M15x-Bluetooth failure again. At this point, was considering dropping Dell altogether but thought I'd try the Studio 1558 (laptop #4) with the Bluetooth 365 module, in order to rule out the 370 card, first. Ordered and was delivered on the 5th of April, same exact issue-failure of card under a load. I am returning this defective Studio 1558 and again getting a M15x (laptop #5). I realize that the M15x Bluetooth card will fail again-in fact,am 100% sure it will fail,but have bought a Sony Bluetooth transmitter as a workaround.
What appears to be happening is that the card will shutdown when it gets warm.This is either a Broadcom manufacturing defect or a Dell engineering issue. I know now through personal experience that there is a serious issue with Dell Bluetooth cards.
If this was happening with only one laptop, I'd be ok with it but, this is occuring across multiple laptop platforms, with both Broadcom Bluetooth cards that Dell brands and sells.
This is either an oversight by engineering-maybe they didn't test the card under a heavy load, or Dell is knowingly selling defective equipment.
Just got my laptop today and I am having problems installing xp 64bit. I tried searching the forum but did not see anything.
Each time I try to boot off of the cd I get a blue screen. I have tried 4 times and it blue screens at the same place.
im just wondering can a 64bit version run on 3G of RAM? and how do i know if my system have 64bit CPU?
View 10 Replies View RelatedJust did a reinstall of Vista 64 bit.
I then went (tried) to http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html but the site is down.
Been trying for the past 2 days and still no-go.
I was told by Dell that the Vostro didn't support 64-bit addressing. What's not clear to me is if that means the hardware doesn't support it,
or just that they don't sell it with a 64-bit OS, or whether if you put your own Vista64 on it the Dell drivers would not work,
I'm having troubles with windows 7 (build 7100 64 bits) and xps 1340. All Vista (64 bits) driver seems to work fine until the notebook wakes up from the sleep or hibernate mode. The Ethernet will not recover at all.
In the Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork Connections the Ethernet will display cable unplugged even thought the cable is plugged. It will start functioning correctly after restart. It does indeed bothers me as if i close the notebook it will go to the sleep mode then I open it and the Ethernet connection is lost !
Also I can't get the inbuilt infra-red working. I have installed the driver but can find any software to use it with!
I'm just about to download the new Win 7 RC, but started wondering if I should go 64bit right away?
I'm just going to do a clean install (it's a year since last anyways...) so I'm not upgrading from Vista. I'll be taking backup off-course and making a list of all installed sw so I can easily install them in the new OS.
Anyone done this? Are there any issues? What can I expect? Which drivers wont work?
I have the A15 bios, 4GB mem and will do an upgrade of the processor as well.
Ive been hearing form numerous people that I should ocnsider 64bit being that I have 4gigs of RAM.
Is that true and what might be the benefits of 64 over 32?
I am designer and use Photoshop more .
If i use xp 64bit the performance improve or don`t improve?

My dvd drive is sony optiarc 7640s. I searched net, but cant found thd drivers.
I've been looking all over for this specific driver for my laptop. I've downgraded the OS from Vista to XP and everything went fine but, just one more driver that I can't seem to find.
I went to the Dell driver download website and seen only 32bit drivers. So, I took a chance on trying to get the correct for this specific hardware:
I just upgraded the memory in my XPS M1330 to 4GB, so if I choose to I can now go from 32bit to 64bit Vista. It came with 32bit Vista Home Premium, but I have a 64 bit Vista Ultimate upgrade disc. Is it possible to upgrade from 32 bit Vista Home Premium to 64bit Vista Ultimate, or do I have to have a full 64 bit Vista Ultimate disc? And one last thing, is there really a big difference in performance going from 32bit to 64bit? I don't do anything very intensive with it, but if it makes everything seen snappier than.......

View 4 Replies View RelatedNow heres just the question my sister's comp was recently replace with a studio xps 13 that was loaded with 8gb of ram now the question is whether i should format and install 32bit into the system or 64bit?
i understand 32bit windows can only use up to 4gb while 64bit windows can utilize over 4gb. It seems that the clear advantage would be using windows 64bit since it has 8gb of ram.
Wondering if anyone has any opinion to this? In using 32bit instead?
i just clean installed 64 bit Windows 7 on my M1730. All appears to be running ok but I have a couple of yellow !?

I'm all set to order my 1555 except that I'm in two minds whether to get a 32bit or 64bit system.
I want to stay with 32bit coz that what I'm using,(with xp) and it works but want to go for the 64bit coz that's what all systems to moving towards now. I'm aware that the former can only utilise 3.3G RAM(I'm getting 4G with mine) and the potential of the latter is higher with more RAM should I want to upgrade in future.
My questions are:
1) Is there somewhere on the web that I could check if the programs I use now and intend to use the laptop for, are compatible with a 64bit system?
2) I'll be getting the P8600 2.40Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz with 4G RAM. How much performance difference are we talking about between the two systems?
3) With the free Windows 7 upgrade, will they send ONLY the corresponding upgrade installation dvd? Otherwise, if they were to send both, I can try both out and see for myself.
Though some might not work altogether, I've heard that some 32bit software will run under a 64bit system but on the contrary run even slower? Can anyone confirm this?
If I stick to the 32bit now, and I want to move on to 64bit, will Dell just send me the installation disc?
want to install windows 7 beta 1 but i dont know with one will be better 32 bit or 64 bit i have notebook like in my sig
