Hi All, To be up front, BT never worked on this machine, but I recently swapped my old 2.4g WiFi card for a new 5g card and the BT still won't work. IPConfig shows "media disconnected" but everything else (EVERYTHING!) shows to be working properly, but none of my other BT devices can see it in discovery mode. It's like the radio is DOA, on both cards too. It has two antennas and both are solidly connected. I've done all the readily available stuff I can find on Google and it never discovers anything. Hoping for a miracle! Russ

It possibly a driver issue despite the one used installed properly without reporting errors. Try to look at the information on the network card label and search for suitable driver with it. Usng harward identification sometimes might not provide you with better driver result.
Found something interesting. After hours of frustration, I uninstalled both BT and WiFi card and drivers. When I went to reinstall the WiFi card driver it wouldn't find them. Then I remembered I had to completely uninstall ZoneAlarm to install them the first time. After doing so, both the WiFi and BT stuff installed and is working. Thanks for that link, Tito. Now I'm up-to-date except for two (on each machine) that seem to unobtainable: Laptop: Code: BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_VID&000100c4_PID&13a1 BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_LOCALMFG&0045 BTHENUM\{936da01f-9abd-4d9d-80c7-02af85c822a8}_VID&000100c4_PID&13a1 BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_LOCALMFG&0045 Desktop: Code: BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_VID&000100c4_PID&13a1 BTHENUM\{453994d5-d58b-96f9-6616-b37f586ba2ec}_LOCALMFG&000a BTHENUM\{00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_VID&000100c4_PID&13a1 BTHENUM\{00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_LOCALMFG&000a My gut tells me they are for my LG6 phone and prolly do not exist...
