Bluetooth Driver Windows 7 64 pro

I have just re-imaged my old HP 2540P model XP888PA and have spent the last WEEK trying to find the bluetooth drivers for this #@$$! machine without success.  Why is it soooooo hard to find a simple driver?  The  hardware ID for this device is USB\VID_03F0&PID_231D&REV_0306. I have already tried the following packages without success:
SP44774
SP45078
SP46999
SP47022
SP49104
SP49408
SP53068
SP53806
SP56391
SP57275
SP58782
SP59684
SP59697
SP66915
I know some of these packages are not related to the Bluetooth per se but these are all of the packages that have been installed on this machine so far.  The last one I tried was SP44774 and I got an error saying;
The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance.
I know the hardware was working before the re-image.  What can I do that doesn't involve me going to buy a new laptop or bluetooth dongle?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hope this is what your looking for...and it is sp47022.exe as listed in one of your numbers you downloaded. So was there a reason that didn't work. Also in your Device Manager does it list a Bluetooth Device there? It could be you don't have a bluetooth device there as this for all major consumer laptops was a addon not something that by defaults comes with the laptop.

  • Bluetooth in Windows 8.1 Pro Boot Camp

    Okay, so I've searched all over the place and found no actual solutions to my problem. There are several forums that ask this question, but then they just kind of trail off...
    Here's my issue:
    I have a new MBP (non-retina) and I am running Windows 8.1 Pro with Boot Camp. (Yosemite on OSX side)
    I am trying to use my internal bluetooth chipset (Broadcom 20702A3) to set up a serial connection with a very simple bluetooth device that talks to an arduino. The bluetooth module is a pretty common one -- the JY-MCU. I know that it will work on my hardware because it works beautifully when I run OSX. Then I boot into Windows, and it goes kaput. Open PC Settings > PC and Devices > Bluetooth, and it will appear. I can pair with it by entering the correct code, and all looks good: the progress bar goes across, then it says "connected." Then a few seconds later, it says "paired" instead of connected. That basically means that it COULD talk to it because it knows the passcode, but it doesn't see it anymore. That's what happens when i turn off my bluetooth mouse: it says "paired" but not "connected." Turn the mouse back on, it says "connected" again. There is nothing that I can do to make the bluetooth module say "connected" again, though, short of clicking "remove device" and repeating the process. I tried BlueSoleil, but a similar thing happened (I can give more specifics, if it would help anyone familiar with BlueSoleil), and the software seemed pretty sketchy to me, so I uninstalled it. I've also tried re-downloading and reinstalling the Boot Camp drivers, but no change. I tried installing Broadcom drivers, but no luck there either -- the installer stalls because it can't find the hardware. The Broadcom driver issue has been discussed by other people trying to do similar things, but it seems that no one has been able to make anything work at all on a Mac except BlueSoleil and the Boot Camp drivers. Oh, and one other thing I tried: enabling bluetooth collaboration (Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter > Advanced > Bluetooth Collaboraion > Enable) worked for some people who wanted to have two bluetooth devices going at the same time, but made no difference for me.
    So, any ideas? I think what I'm looking for is a better driver (although I've searched all over) or a less sketchy, more reliable bluetooth manager than BlueSoleil. At this point, though, anything's worth a try, so long as it's not malware. I really would like to be able to make this work. My next try will be to buy a bluetooth dongle, and use whatever drivers come with that, but that's pretty inelegant, especially since I only have two USB ports.
    Let me know if any more specifics would be helpful.
    Thank you in advance,
    -Rowan

    COMPLETE SOLUTION
    This solution will get Arduino bluetooth communication up and running on a MacBook Pro that has been Boot Camp-ed into Windows 8.1.
    1. Use standard Boot Camp bluetooth drivers
    2. Download PuTTY
    3. Connect bluetooth module to Arduino.
        I used a cheap JY-MCU bluetooth module
        I used SoftwareSerial, but if you want, you can probably use HardwareSerial, although you might have to disconnect the BT module to upload sketches.
        Whatever you do, remember to connect Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx.
    4. Upload this sketch to your Arduino (using a USB cord) to check serial communication (unplug the cord when you're done):
    #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
    SoftwareSerial BTBoard(2,3); //Rx, Tx
    char val = 0;
    char current;
    int ind = 13; //LED on pin 13
    void setup(){
      BTBoard.begin(9600); //This must be set to baud rate of your BT module
      pinMode(ind, OUTPUT);
    void loop(){
      while(BTBoard.available()){
        current = BTBoard.read();
        if((current != '\r') && (current != '\n')){ //PuTTY sends a carriage return (\r) and a newline character (\n) every time you press enter
          val = current;
          BTBoard.write("val is currently ");
          BTBoard.write(val);
          BTBoard.write("\r\n"); //These lines echo back the value that is stored
          if(val == '1')
            digitalWrite(ind, HIGH); //turn on the LED
          if(val == '0')
            digitalWrite(ind, LOW); //turn off the LED
      delay(10);
    5. Connect your bluetooth module to your computer:
         Power up the BT module
         Open PC Settings > PC and Devices > Bluetooth
         Wait for your BT module to appear, when it does, pair with it.
         You may need to enter a passcode: try 1234 or 0000
         It may say "Connected" or just "Paired," but it doesn't really matter as long as it says one or the other
         Close Settings
         Go to the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar
         Right click on it, an click "Open Settings" (if you don't have the BT icon in your taskbar, there is probably another way to get to these settings)
         Click the "COM Ports" tab
         Take note of the name of your outgoing port (mine was COM3)
    6. Start PuTTY
         Set up PuTTY as indicated by this site
         Make sure that the baud rate is the same as the baud rate of your BT module, and the same as the baud rate in the sketch above
         Make sure that the COM port is the one that you found in the last step
         You might want to save your session so you don't have to change the settings in the future
         Click "Open"!
    Now when you type a 1 into PuTTY and hit enter, it should echo back "Val is currently 1" and the LED should turn on. The opposite happens when you type a 0.
    If you need to restart PuTTY, unplug the BT module, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, and start PuTTY again, using your saved session. You shouldn't need to re-pair the BT module with your computer.
    I hope that this helps someone out. I might post it on the Arduino forum too.

  • Bluetooth driver Windows 7 64-bit

    I use my N82 with Windows 7 64-bit using a Bluetooth connection (Widcomm stack). Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.6 communicates with the phone via Bluetooth without any problems. However, the PC still appears to miss a Bluetooth modem driver: In the device manager, under "Other Devices", I can find 3 entries for a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" (obviously the N82) without a driver.
    I have downloaded the "Bluetooth Modem driver for Windows 2000, XP and Vista Users" (an ".inf" file) from the Nokia web site and tried to install it manually, but Windows keeps telling me that it can't use it as a driver.
    What else can I do? Is there another driver for Windows 7 64-bit?

  • Can't upgrade Video Driver, Windows XP, MacBook Pro 17" '09

    After I downloaded newer video drivers from NVIDIA's site, the installation stops in the beginning saying "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware."
    It's the right hardware (GeForce 9600M GT) and driver (266.58). I've tried multiple driver versions (There have been many since the year+ old driver installed with bootcamp) and all have the same issue.
    I've read that some laptop manufactures actually prevent users from updating their video drivers, and have tried work arounds such as those made by Mobility Modder.
    What's the deal?

    Following the instructions here worked for me! http://www.technoish.com/1137/fix-latest-nvidia-mobility-driver-to-fit-your-note book/
    It was a hassle, but I updated the old version 177.56 driver with the current 307.83.
    I still blame Apple for either poor support or blocking upgrades.

  • Bluetooth driver G580 20150

    I have problem with bluetooth driver  Windows 8 
    I installed the one in this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT073548
    but it's not working 
    my system windows 8 Enterprise

    Help me 

    hi coldsteel,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you're seing the image below when you press Fn+F5, this feature of the Energy Management is only for Windows 7.
    If you don't see your bluetooth device under the Device Manger in Windows 8, try to:
    1. Turn off the computer and remove the AC adapter, battery and press and hold the power button for 30secs.
    2. Reinsert the AC adapter and battery and press the power button. During boot-up, repeatedly press F2 to go to the BIOS, when you're in, press F9 to load defaults and press F10 to save and exit.
    3. When you're back to Windows, check if the Bluetooth device is not detected under the Device Manager.
    Edit: Added Image
    Hope this helps.

  • Ideapad A720 Windows 8 Pro can't install the bluetooth driver

    I upgraded to Windows 8 than went to the Lenovo site and down loaded a few of the drivers that it needs (primarily the NVIDIA video driver), however Windows 8 forced me to uninstall the Bluetooth driver before doing the upgrade. 
    Downloading the Bluetooth A720 Windows 8 driver from the support site doesn't seem to work.  You run the install, it unpacks than dies and does run.  trying to force the setup to run from the driver folder throws an error saying I am missing the blue tooth license.
    Any guess here?  everything else seems to be work on Windows 8 great, multi-touch 27" is gorgeous just opening bing.com is a cool experience.

    1st word, so sorry about my poor English !
    My device here is : macbook pro mid 2012 MD101 (MacOSX & Windows 7 Ultimate, my question here's on Windows 7) !
    I have a bluetooth mouse and a speaker, at my workplace I need to use 2 devices wireless, although they have both got wires (for aesthetics ya know )
    I've also installed full bootcamp drivers, but bluetooth driver's still not work at all ! So can someone show me how to install bluetooth driver correctly, please ?
    Many thanks to ya all !

    There are a number of posts related to accessing and/ copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

    Bluetooth do not show itself to or recognise cellphones on HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook with windows 8.1 pro 64-bit.Yes the comm say it is working fine but it is clearly lying and yes I did switch on visibility.I do not find any bluetooth driver on the Notebooks support page any longer.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook and Bluetooth not working. Here are some links that might help.  I would check to make sure Bluetooth is on. It shows you how to do that under Connecting Bluetooth. A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, from the Start screen, type Change Bluetooth to open the Search charm, and then select Change Bluetooth settings from the search results.  Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro in Bootcamp, can no longer drive retina display and two external monitors simultaneously?

    Greetings
    I just upgraded from Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate (Bootcamp) to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro on a late 2012 MBP 13" Retina. Prior to the upgrades, I was able to drive the retina panel and two external monitors simultaneously when operating directly in Bootcamp. Now, I can only drive 2 of the 3 simultaneously though all three are recognized under Graphic Properties. I simply cannot find any option or profile under Graphics Properties or Options or Personalization to run all three screens.
    My hardware hasn't changed and this worked prior to the updates. I have no issue on the Mac OSX can run all three. I also have no issue doing it in Windows under Parallels Desktop 10. It is just when I boot directly into Bootcamp that this happens. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    G.

    Great point, Loner T.  It was late when I was working and I thought about this afterwards also.
    The issue was that in Windows=>Control Panel=>Display, under "Change Display Settings", the three screens showed but "Extend Display"  was not selected for one of the screens. It was simply off. I can't believe I danced around this w/o picking it up sooner. In fact, it has happened in the past that for some reason a display loses this setting.
    As an aside, thanks again for all of your help and terrific input to upgrade both the Mac and Windows operating systems. As I was going from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Pro, one thing I did come across that made life much easier was to upgrade first to Windows 8 so I could keep my apps. The jump from 7 to 8.1 would otherwise migrate my personal files, but not programs and require a lot of time to reinstall all. This was completely avoided by going to Windows 8 first.
    Thanks, again, and very much appreciate the work that you do here.
    Best,
    G.

    Can you please send me a link to download the driver.

    Hi @Umesh_kanth ,
    I understand that you need the driver for Windows 8.1. I would be happy to help you.
    I checked the website and unfortunately there isn't any drivers to be able to download for Windows 8.1 for the HP Deskjet 1280 Printer. But you should be able to install the printer with a Windows generic driver. Plug the printer into the computer to see if Windows will automatically install a OS. driver.
    You might have to add the driver manually, here are the steps:
    Go to the start up screen. (tiles menu)
    Type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
    Click on Add Printer and follow the steps.
    Select the HP Deskjet PCL3 Class Driver from the list.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
