[geeza2012]

Hi I have a HP dv6-3120sa and I can't get my BLUETOOTH TO WORK.

Can some one guide me throw it please.

I want my BLUETOOTH device in my laptop discoverable.

It's something to do with the drivers but not sure.

 

Many thank Maz

Not being funny or cheaky but is Bluetooth turned on I had similar problem and it was because I had not turned it on.

Is it not possible to search for the gadget you want to connect to your computer rather than searching for computer on gadget

As for drivers goto device manager to find what BT you are using check driver then search for updated version online

You may also need software to manage BT cpnnections

if bluetooth is running' it will be under the up arrow bottom right

look for the blue tooth BLUE symbol

 

dont forget as advised by sol

 

often hp lappies have a slider for wireles/'bluetooth along the front edge of the lappy

 

some require two sldes of it to turn both on

 

look for a blue light coming on

Hi

 

OK go to Start, Control Panel, click Administrative tools, click Services then check Bluetooth Support is not disabled.

 

Next on My Computer right click select properties, select Device Manager and update the Bluetooth device.

or just search in the start menu for "hp wireless assistant"

 

tick independant controls for wireless devices

 

apply

 

this should then let you use this program to enable and diable bluetooth + wireless

I think it's more technical then that, it's a laptop it has a chip which is the Bluetooth device. It's turned on I've enabled it I have made it descoverable. But still no luck.

what you mean other devices cannot see it?

Yes that's right. Also I started this post yet am not getting any notifications that someone has posted something on the thread how can I sort this out ease.

check your user cp has the correct email

an ou are set to receive the notifs

 

is on by default

 

as for the bluetooth

check it om more than one device

 

there might be option to hide o the hp control software rather than windows one
