Bluetooth does not work on Vostro 1510

Ive just finished formatting my Vostro 1510 laptop to install Vista Ultimate and now Bluetooth does not work. The blue light indicator is off and I can't find any Bluetooth devices on the Vostro and my cell can't find the Vostro. Ive installed all the neccessary drivers and it shows in device manager as working. What am I missing?

 

Doing a search it almost the same as this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=168371

Maybe installing this will fix it...?

Hi, I am having same problem. Have you found any solution yet...it would be really kind if you do let me know when u find any solution as I've desperately tried hard but no use...

 

Nope still nothing....I find it impossible that noone here has formatted their Dell laptop, installed a new fresh operating system, and this situation has not/has occured.

 

2 and a half hours with Dell tech support on the phone and still they couldnt solve it.

 

Finallly

2 and a half hours with tech support and they couldnt figure it out. Me 30 minutes done.

Download and install the drivers from that link. You might have to play around installing these, then extracting the latest ones from Dell site and updating the driver thru device manager, etc.

You were all a bunch of help.....what a great community this is....
