Inspiron 17R SE - Can't get bluetooth working !!

Hi

I've installed the drivers after entering my service tag and I can see bluetooth hardware in the device manager. My brother has the same laptop and has a bluetooth icon in the taskbar but I have no such thing. I've read that I'm supposed to press FN+F2 to turn on the bluetooth but it only connects/disconnects the wifi. I don't know what else to do.

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Welcome to the Community,

If Bluetooth drivers are installed on your system,in Device Manager you should see the Bluetooth Device listed as shown in this image below:

If you see it listed as above,to get the Bluetooth icon on the task bar try the steps below:

1.Type Bluetooth in the search box.

2.Click on Change Bluetooth Settings.

3.Select show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area and click OK.

Let me know if you need further help.

Thank You
