Dell Latitude E6520 with Windows 10 - HOW TO GET BLUETOOTH TO WORK? (icons, installing)

[MAcapulco]

System Restore has been on the "Initializing" screen for about an hour.

Should I leave it alone? Turn the computer off?

[MAcapulco]

Ok... For those following: NOW we may be getting somewhere.

I am posting from it, cancelled the System Restore, booted to Safe Mode, ran the driver, it is running again now, and after about a DAY of throwing everything conceivable at it.. The adapter is now installed, and I see this:



Soo.... Now, once it sees my Bluetooth headphones then everything will be OK.

But, it is still not there yet.

What next?

[MAcapulco]

It didn't capture it, but it is installing some kind of device, and the Blue Bluetooth B is also there.

[MAcapulco]

Rebooting...

OK, I learned how to put it into "Search" mode.

But WHY isn't it finding it!!??

If the drivers are good, and now I have installed the device.. As before, with the device out, it did none of this...

[MAcapulco]

Getting desperate.

Disabled the Enumerator, can enable if need be...

[MAcapulco]

OK

NOW I AM TRYING THIS...

How to connect bluetooth device and Dell insp [Solved]

OK THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO GET THAT BLUETOOTH DRIVER UP....

1) INSTALL THE BLUETOOTH DRIVER PROVIDED FOR YOUR SYSTEM. IT WILL ASK YOU TO ACTIVATE BLUETOOTH BY PRESSING FN+F2 KEY. THIS DOES NOT WORK!

2) YOU MANUALLY INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FOR THE DRIVER...

NOTE : HERE SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE INSTALLED THE DRIVERS ALREADY BUT JUST CANNOT START THE CONNECTION...SO THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE SOFTWARE WHICH BLUETOOTH USES AND NOT THE DRIVER.

FOR INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE FOLLOW THESE STEPS.

3) GO TO YOUR DRIVER INSTALLATION DIRECTORY (EX. C:\dell\drivers) THEN YOU FIND WHICH DRIVER YOU INSTALLED FOR YOUR BLUETOOTH ( FOR INSPIRON 1525 IT IS - R140135 ). HOW DO I KNOW THAT I HAVE THE SAME LAPTOP! ;p

4) THEN YOU FIND YOUR SYSTEM YOU ARE RUNNING ( A 32 BIT OR A 64 BIT ) IT WILL WRITTEN AS Win32 OR Win64.

5) THEN YOU FIND THE INSTALLATION FILE....TYPICALLY IT SET-UP BUT I DONT THINK IN THIS CASE IT IS 'CUZ IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME...SO IT WILL BE SOMETHING LIKE "INST". IT IS AN APPLICATION.

THERE JUST INSTALL THE APPLICATION AND THEN IT WILL BE ALL READY ONCE AGAIN....

P.S. DONT FORGET TO TURN YOUR BLUETOOTH ADAPTER ON AFTER YOU INSTALL THE SOFTWARE.

I HOPE THIS IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

And we will see...

[MAcapulco]

^^ Internal Error !?!?!

^^^ OK. Uninstalling it ALL and then re-clicking that file...

Seems WIDCOMM was on there twice. AND I had the SDK on there, so. Maybe I confused something..

[MAcapulco]

Hopefully, this gets it.

Time to reboot...



I took all the other Bluetooth stuff off...
