Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth driver for windows 8 X64

Hi Saurabh,

I followed the same procedure as you have mentioned. But there were no items in my device manager list with an yellow exclamation mark. So I couldn't install any drivers for it. I checked in the BIOS too. Its enabled in the bios, but not showing up in the device manager.

Expecting a solution for this

Hi,

Thank you for responding.
‘Enabled’ status of Bluetooth card in system BIOS confirms that your computer is successfully detecting the Bluetooth card. Re-check device manager. Please post the snapshots (image captures) of the device manager page.

Follow these steps to check ‘Device Manager’ page details:
- Right click ‘Computer’
- Click ‘Properties’
- Click ‘Device Manager’
- Locate ‘Bluetooth Radios’ (If present)
- If not, locate ‘Network Adapters’
- Expand ‘Network Adapters’ (Refer to image below)
  
Follow these steps to capture the page image (Note: Ensure that all categories of device manager are included in the picture):
- Press and hold function key (fn) down (located on left bottom corner of the keyboard)
- Tap key ‘Prntscr’ (located on top row of the keyboard)
- Page image is now copied
- Paste image in ‘Paint’ application
- Save as JPEG (image)
- Send this image in the post

Could you please share some information in regards to the issue? This would help me gain more clarity.
- Did you try installing the Bluetooth driver?
- If yes, please share the download link that you used to download the driver
- Please mention the error message that appeared during the installation process
- Did you use the key combination to enable the Bluetooth?
- If yes, did that produce any notification on the screen?
- Which Bluetooth device are you trying to pair it with?
- Did you try to pair the laptop with another known good Bluetooth device?

Do reply with results. I would be glad to assist.

Hi David,

The Bluetooth driver that you tried to install may not work with Windows 8 as it was built for Windows Vista 32 bit & 64 bit. However, you may try the following steps and install an updated driver as an administrator:
- Click the following link to download the most updated driver for the Bluetooth: http://dell.to/OP6bkb
- Save the folder (zipped folder) on the 'Desktop screen'
- Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R241623.exe
- The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS
- Click Ok
- After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor window is still open, close it
- Open the following path: C:\dell\Drivers\31N70\Win64 (Follow steps mentioned below)
- Click 'Computer' and drive letter 'C'
- Locate folder 'dell' and double click it
- Locate folder 'Drivers' and double click it
- Locate folder '31N70'
- Locate folder 'Win64' and double click it
- Locate file Inst (Refer to the image below)
  
- Right click file 'Inst'
- Click 'Run as an administrator'
- Click 'Yes' to continue if prompted with 'User access control' message
- Follow through with the installation as per the screen instructions
- Finish the installation and check for the Bluetooth functionality
- If issue persists, try using the 'setup' file to install drivers in compatibility mode (Next Step)

Install 'Setup.exe' file in 'compatibility Mode'
- Navigate to C:\dell\Drivers\31N70\Win64
- Right click ‘Setup’ file and click ‘Properties’
- Click “Install in compatibility mode’
- Click on Application and select ‘Troubleshoot Compatibility’
- Next, click on ‘Troubleshoot Program’
- Click on Program worked in earlier versions of Windows
- Click on ‘Windows 7’
- Click on ‘Start the Program’
- Do not hit ‘Next’ until the installation completes

If the issue still persists, you may have to wait for the arrival of an updated device driver compatible for Windows 8.

I have installed the driver that you said me and... now is working the bluetooth of my computer.

Thank you very much!!!

Hi Sonupandey,

The Bluetooth driver that you are trying to install with Windows 8 is either not the most updated version or may not be compatible.

To provide you with the correct driver download I need to know the name and type of Bluetooth adapter installed on the computer. Could you provide the 'Service Tag' of your computer? This information will enable me to pull up the detailed hardware configuration. I will provide you step-by-step instructions to install the driver. However, you may have to wait for the arrival of an updated device driver compatible for Windows 8, if the steps that I provide don't work.

I am sending you a friend request. Please accept it and reply through a private message with the 'Service Tag' of your computer. I would be glad to assist.

Thanks for repply. My service Tag No is

,Model  INSPIRON N5010. I download the driver from the link you mention above. Can you tell me the time when you online???? so i can talk to you because i have to ask so many things to you..
