Hi,

Welcome to the Community,

I've checked your system configuration using the Service tag number.It shows me that your system has a bluetooth card.

Try using the F2 key to turn the wireless and Bluetooth cards on or off .

To further check go to Device Manager(Click on Start menu,Control Panel,System,Hardware,Device Manager),check if it shows Bluetooth Radio listed(also check under Network Adapters).

If its not listed go to BIOS screen(tap F2 on start up),press F9 to restore BIOS to defaults and press F10 to save and exit.After system restarts verify in Device Manager if the bluetooth card gets detected.

If you need to install the Bluetooth driver use this link below :

sorry.......if I had seen your post I wouldn't have sent mine

Roshan I have installed the KTY64 thing you mentioned it is present in C:\Dell\Drivers but it had no effect on my system..the wireless though was working previously also and now also I have a wireless broad band connection and that has been working smoothly

I am using Windows 7 ,64 bit so  I checked the above link and it shows it is for Vista SP1 and resetting the BIOS to defaults had no effects under the device manager tab I did not see any where any bluetooth thing present on my system.....

Micro-test I have same kind of device driver tree as you posted with the exception that any blue tooth thing is not present ........and where can I download the Driver Utility Disk I do not have it with me....

Guys thanks for the support I am able to get the blue tooth working correctly  on my system, I followed the suggestions above and with some hit and trial got the correct thing here is what I did

went to this link

www.dell.com/.../H8Z84BS

in drop down menu choosed Windows 7- 64 bit as OS

and downloaded this

www.dell.com/.../inspiron-1545

this gave me a download named R228749 it extracted in C:\Dell\Drivers

a folder named 83V6K so I get

C:\Dell\Drivers\83V6K

and here was a setup file which I had to double click I was not clear as how this would have worked because each time I just extracted the R228749 utility from the above link and thought that driver was installed which was not the case I had to run the setup also by going to that folder....that was a mistake I was doing also correct driver I was not clear with, now I have  a working wirless and bluetooth both, thanks.

bakra,
