    I did some searches and found very old posts pertaining to bluetooth issues...

    Whenever I start Windows from Stand By or Sleep the bluetooth connection is hit or miss...If my bluetooth mouse does not work I go to device manager where my Dell Truemobile 355 + EDR has issues and if I shut it down/start it up it works fine.

    How can I fix this, its frustrating going into device manager every other time I start up my laptop!

    Have you tried updating the drivers for the bluetooth card?

    I couldn't find an Inspiron E1420 from the downloads section on support.dell.com, so I chose the 1420, here's the link: Click here

    If the link doesn't work, enter your service tag and go under "network" and select the bluetooth module.

    Not sure if it's related, but whenever I start my computer from sleep/stand by, Comodo AV pops up with a warning about some request change to my system, and it seems like it's always a bluetooth or myWifi related file. Odd because I never use either of these.
