Bluetooth radio missing, not found in device manager - Probook 4530s

I have a Probook 4530s with Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit installed on it. A little while ago I wanted to use bluetooth for networking, but thee was no bluetooth adapter in the Network Connections window. I looked in Device Manager next, thinking maybe there was something wrong with the driver, but no bluetooth adapter showed. I've tried rebooting, turning it off and on in BIOS, and even just pressing the wireless button, but nothing has worked.
Along with Windows, I have Mac and Ubuntu installed. Bluetooth dooesn't work on any of the operating systems, but it used to.
Any help with getting my adapter working again would be appreciated.

Hi,
Its more than likely Ubuntu that has caused the problem. I can't say for sure though as I've never used the model of laptop you have. With the WiFi/Bluetooth portion of the hardware its not just a driver that keeps the hardware running correctly, there is a firmware as well. I managed to kill my WiFi card for a while when I was messing with Linux OS's. Find out the precise model of the bluetooth adapter on your laptop (it may be a WiFi/Bluetooth combo card?) then start searching the Linux communities for information about the firmware for the cards.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee Realtek Network Adapter not found in Device Manager

Hi I own an HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee, 64bit and running Windows 7. And somehow the network adapter for the LAN got uninstalled for some reason. Now after posting something on the site I finally downloaded the driver for my laptop.
Now another problem, after or at the end of the installation process a pop up message was shown:
"The Realtek Network Controller was not found,
If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
Now I checked Device Manager to see if the Realtek Network Adapter was there but it wasn't. All I can see are:
-Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter
-Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
-Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocl TDI)
-TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Someone please help. Thank you.

If device is identified but there is no driver for it, it will be appeared as unknown device in Device Manager with question mark icon (?), are you seeing such thing in device manager?
If not, you should refer to your PC manufacturer's website and download.
Make sure report this issue using Feedback App.

My hp pavilion dv6-6c13cl entertainment notebook pc - webcam not found in device manager.

I am a technician working on this unit for a neighbor, and it is having some issues. She has kept this unit in very good condition, never been dropped and has functioned very well. Recently she went to use voice chat on facebook as she has several times in the past and it told her it couldn't find a webcam. I tried the youcam software and it also said no webcam detected. I have tried to update devices, run all updates from HP, pulled the battery and power cord and held power button for 10 seconds and hooked it back up, reformatted and reinstalled fresh....nothing seems to work, do you have any other solutions? I see it is under warrantly so I'm not going to take it apart and make physical repairs as I do not wish to void her warranty.

Hi geraldnpatty,
Take a look at this document, which provides troubleshooting steps for the webcam not being listed in Device Manager. Hopefully, this will take care of the issue. If not and it's still in warranty, I'd suggest calling in.
Please let me know if this helps.

G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
Before that, it isn't working at all.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi athirah11,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
- Link to picture
- Link to picture
2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
- this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Vista thinks bluetooth 'radio is "USB Human Interface Device"

Hi all,
I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now; it came straight out of the blue - perhaps triggered by an update? I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (still in trial period, actually, as I haven't bothered to buy it yet) on a 17'' MBP, and everything has been working fine as far as Mac hardware... or was... until my bluetooth radio suddenly stopped showing up.
My Bluetooth devices still connect fine (well, only my wireless keyboard which doesn't need to be paired, my Mighty Mouse isn't working now), but do not show up in the Bluetooth Devices control panel applet. My radio shows up as a 'USB Human Interface Device' in the Device Manager, and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling my BC drivcers is helping.
This is becoming a problem for me; I do a lot of gaming and need my Mighty Mouse.
All help is REALLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Bookworm

It IS, but so are all USB Mice, Keyboards, etc,etc,etc. My issue is that because Windows Vista cannot specify it as being an Apple Bluetooth Radio, I cannot control it - and thus cannot use it to setup my mouse. The issue seems to be that the drivers for the Apple Bluetooth Radio are not being used when my adapter is detected - instead, Windows is defaulting to a generic USB driver which would work for most USB devices - but doesn't allow things that require specific device types to work, such as pairing with bluetooth.
Happily, I have managed to obtain a fairly good USB mouse... the problem is that this ***** up a much-needed accessible USB port. I have to get a port extender or something...

Problem with WCS, with an error message (Error: Object not found in device)

I have a problem with WCS, I can not open the window monitor / controllers with an error message (Error: Object not found in device) -> https: / / 10.19x.xxx.xx/webacs/switchDetailAction. do? ControllerID = 23735
by cons I can open the window configures / controllers -> https: / / 10.19x.xxx.xx/webacs/switchGeneralAction.do? command = detail & ControllerID = 23735
Is there a way to recreate the database or the object? thank you in advance

thank you for your help
Unfortunately, the command "refresh config from controller" does not solve the problem because we have a negative result

Failed to add device to WCS Reason: Object not found in device

Hi i am adding wlc (ver 7.0.116.0) to WCS (ver 7.0.164.0) and getting bellow error message.
Failed to add device to WCS Reason: Object not found in device
This controller was successfully added to the WCS before upgrading WLC ios to 7.0.116. Now i am unable to communicate with the controller thru WCS. The controller itself work ok and serve all WAPs with no issue.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards.

You will need to upgrade WCS to Version 7.0.172.0. WCS version 7.0.64.0 does not support or manage WLC version 7.0.116.0. Hope this helps.

My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark.

my dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark. Tried uninstallingdevice drive and scanning for new hardware. scanned for updates, etc. I getting no results. The laptop is a Pavilion DV5. Thanks

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.

Followed troubleshooting for "iPhone not found in devices" iTunes and that did not work... Now what?

That's what I tried. The 6 steps and I do not have security software on my phone. iTunes on my Mac is still giving me the warning that I need to download the latest version on my phone, and is not recognizing it in devices, which is the irony because that's what I need to actually update it

bug 278860: confusing "profile in use"/"already running" error when profile is missing (not found)
Apparently the profile .default is missing. Therefore the bug 278860 is activated and I can't start Firefox. Is there a solution?

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

»HP 14-d008au Notebook PC drivers not found. wifi device not working on ws 8.1

recently I install windows 8.1 but unfortunatly I couldn't found my drivers on hp s website. my bluetooth and wifi system is not working. pls help me

Hi:
HP is aware of the drivers missing from the support pages issue and is working on resolving it.
It is affecting hundreds of notebook models.
Since I don't work for HP, I do not know when the sites will be operational again.
This has happened once before, so hopefully they learned from past experience how to troubleshoot the problem.
With the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, that has delayed things, I'm sure.
We are on the fourth day of this problem.
Please take the following steps so I can figure out what model wireless card your notebook uses...
Go to the device manager and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the network controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the third item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window that start with PCI\VEN:

[solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager

My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
$ groups
wheel storage users printadmin
The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
The Powershot SX 120 has a MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
# mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
gphoto succeed:
$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Modell Port
Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
A gphoto --summary could be found here
There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
# Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
With my udev-rule:
solid-hardware listen
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
Listening to add/remove events:
Device Added:
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
Without the active udev-rule, "solid-hardware listen" produces nothing, but
udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent
KERNEL[5077.662572] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8 (usb)
KERNEL[5077.662655] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)

UDEV [5077.693035] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)
Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
$ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
(don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...

I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details
