    Hey guys I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this bluetooth problem


    starting from yesterday my bluetooth driver couldn't find any other bluetooth devices.

    What I mean by this is that even though my bluetooth devices are turned on for discovery mode they just won't show up on the "add device" thing for bluetooth manager.

    I supplied a picture just incase

    Now just incase you guys say "There is something wrong with the device", no this isn't the case. I have tried 2 of my bluetooth devices on a seperate computer only to find that they are working fine. My voyager even can be detected by my iphone which is half a room away!

    I tried installing and reinstalling like a member of this website posted in another thread long ago

    The source of the directions are on this link

    Still nothing. nothing seems to be working.

    I tried checking my device manager

    I guess everything is up to normal.

    I just don't know what to do anymore.

    I tried resetting networks on bios, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling like a 100 times. If my bluetooth device was fault from the start I wouldn't be like this but it all happened suddenly yesterday after my reinstallation of the bluetooth driver.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Have you deleted the client Bluetooth connection name on your client (the device you're attempting to use to connect to the M11x) and then letting it discover the M11x again?

    At least clearing and rediscovering the M11x on your client is a good start.

    Set "always require confirmation to connect", as this'll at least indicate a connection process (pairing) prior to using a Bluetooth profile. Can always be set to always allow later.
