the bluetooth on my laptop just quit working... sort of.
Dell Latitude D620 XP Pro Logitech V70 BT mouse
the mouse/bluetooth just quit working suddenly. I've tried reinstalling drivers; didn't work. I did try another bluetooth program/stack, and it (and the mouse) worked... but it was only a trial.
When I add the mouse, it says it installs the drivers fine, but the mouse never works and when I go back to BT devices, it's not there. I tried connecting my phone, and it would stay in the BT devices, just wouldn't connect... 6/27/2010 2:49:38 PM |

Windows XP has notoriously bad bluetooth support.
If it's not in the device manager, then Windows is lying to you saying it's enabled. 6/27/2010 3:03:40 PM |

^I turned that off because it just wasted space and never worked... looks I'll just reformat/reinstall if I can't get it working. 6/27/2010 5:01:04 PM |

If it is hardware related, you can find replacement bluetooth receivers for Dell laptops on ebay/etc. 6/27/2010 5:32:05 PM |
