Faulty Bluetooth Module, Need Help to Completely Disable

I have a 2 GHz Core Duo Macbook running 10.6.8 and I am currently having a very frustrating issue with my bluetooth module.  When I attempt to sleep my computer it immediately wakes, as addressed by users with faulty bluetooth modules.  Bluetooth is also not found in my system profiler so it must be a hardware issue.  At this point I am just holding out for a the new macbook pro and am trying to get by with this machine.  My question is how can I completely disable bluetooth on my computer so that my mac will not sleep.  I do not have any bluetooth devices and am not concerned about regaining bluetooth functionality, I just want my computer to get some sleep.  I am familiar with basic terminal commands.

Hi, manojgj
I don't think the wire is part of the Bluetooth. If you enter the BIOS and navigate Security ► I/O Port Access, do you see Bluetooth listed? If so, is it set to Enabled?
Best,
Adam

  • Mac Genius said i need to replace SCREEN due to faulty Bluetooth module

    I have a Aluminium Macbook.
    It is under Apple care. I took it in today because the bluetooth kept loosing connection and then the Mac says no bluetooth hardware found.
    The Genius at the Apple Store said they need to replace the screen because the Bluetooth module "may" be behind the screen as it is not on the airport card anymore.
    Can anyone confirm, in the Aluminium Macbook (2008) where is the bluetooth receiver???
    Message was edited by: alborz82

    Hi alborz82,
    Correct. The Bluetooth adapter is not mounted onto the display assembly clamshell. It actually sits behind where it says "MacBook" which use to be the location of the Inverter board on the polycarbonate units (plastic). The Bluetooth adapter on the plastic MacBooks were mounted in front of the right hinge (wedged in between the hinge barrel assembly and the optical drive).
    It's not "behind" the screen, but the unit does have to be significantly disassembled in order to get at the Bluetooth module.

  • After updating to ios 7.0.3 my wifi has been DISABLED and BLUETOOTH. Need help

    I need some help. How can I fix my iPhone4s? Yesterday I updated my ios to the newest version using my handset. And then early morning while using it the wifi suddenly turned off. I restarted my handset but still the same. The wifi still disabled. I'm here in the Philippines right now, I bought my handset last Dec 2012 in Macau. I can't remember if I still have the receipt. Help me guys. I really need to fix my phone.
    Hoping for your kind and soonest reply.
    Thank you!

    I had an older backup to go back to thankfully. I apparently was forced to learn a lesson and next time I will have a current backup prior to updating. I did not know until today that recovery mode means all data is lost. Oh well... Thank you for responding!

  • Need help to COMPLETELY uninstall HP drivers & software fm pc running Win 7

    I am having difficulty with completely removing and uninstalling the HP drivers and software from my Dell Inspiron 830. I am running Windows 7.
    I have attempted a number of times use the uninstall feature under programs and applications in Windows.  This seemed to remove the applications from the list, but HP Update dated 7/7/10 2.97mb in size version 5.002.006.003 will not remove.  In addition, my system keeps attempting to load SmartWebPrinting at various intervals.
    I have downloaded and ran the uninstall utility (running it the 4 times as indicated) but still have the same problems. 
    Please let me know what specific steps I may take to completely remove this software from my machine, including the registry entries, startup services, and/or whatever else I need to do to get it OFF MY SYSTEM!!!  Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Revo uninstaller will remove everything but you have to start with it first. When using Revo if the hp uninstall ask you to reboot Don't. If you did not start to remove with Revo, reinstall the hp program and then start over with Revo uninstaller.
    This will clean it out program by program.

  • Need help: Acrobat has disabled Preview

    Previously, whenever I clicked on a pdf file in Safari, the file would download to a specified folder and it would open with Preview. Recently, I made the TERRIBLE mistake of installing Acrobat and then uninstalled it. But now when I click on a pdf link in Safari, nothing happens. Nothing downloads and nothing opens. Somehow Acrobat has damaged the link between Safari and Preview and I can't seem to fix it. Has anyone encountered this? Can anyone help???

    MacDad:
    Piggy-backing on colin's suggestion of Firefox, Camino has an almost identical interface as Safari and you should be very comfortable in it. It offers security features, like Firefox's Adblock, that are easier to use and more automated. I use it along with Firefox, and almost never use Safari anymore. Downlown and try it. It's free, if it does what you want, that's all that matters.
    Good luck.

  • IPS network Module, need help!!!

    Folks,
    I recently installed IPS network module in my 3662 router. I am having problems making the IPS log anything.
    When i access the web interface of the IPS, i see only 1 interface available under virtual sensor, the interface is fast 0/1. and the media type it shows is Backplain.
    I am confused, i thought that fast 0/1 on the IPS network module was the management interface??? on the IPS?
    Why don't i see another interface that is connected to the backplain of the switch???
    Many thanks

    There are 2 interfaces on the NM-CIDS.
    In version 5.0 they are called:
    FastEthernet0/0 and FastEthernet0/1
    FastEthernet0/0 is the external copper interface that you can plug a cable in to. It is the command and control port for managing the NM-CIDS. It can not be used for monitoring (can not be applied to the virtual sensor)
    FastEthernet0/1 is the backplane interface. It receives packets from the router for monitoring. This is the interface that should be applied to the virtual sensor.

  • Faulty 9800 Pro (need help with rma)

    How does the rma process exactly work? Does msi send you a new one and then you send the defective one back? Or vice versa? Do i have to send them everything or just the card?(software,cables etc)
    Since i bought it from newegg.com,do i have to contact them first or not?
    How exactly do i have ship it?Are there any extra charges(return shipping,repairs etc)How long will i have to wait for the replacement card to arrive?
    Any info would be much appreciate it.Thx in adavance.
    These are the issues that i've been having the last 2 days.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=57610
    As u see I tried everything that was suggested on this board, but to no avail.
    I just bought the damn thing, not over a month ago and now all of a sudden its giving me trouble.

    Wherever you purchased the card from, is where you need to look to for starters.
    Look at their policy for the the return window of time from the date of purchase. If you have exceeded that time limit, then you need to call MSI or go through the on line RMA process.
    I prefer a phone call.
    Depending on where you live on this planet, you pay shipping to and MSI pays to ship back. If you are in a country where there is no MSI office, then you may incur some sort of customs charges, I have no idea really. that's up to you to figure out.
    I will usually spend a few extra bucks shipping it to them via Priority or 3 day UPS to expedite the process.
    Just ship them the card only, you will get information and instructions when you get RMA approval.. Make sure you protect the card and ship it in the Anti static bag it came in. Find a box, and some packing material like bubble wrap.
    They do not cross ship, you have to send it to them and wait for them to send something back.
    DO NOT SEND IN YOUR ORIGINAL PACKAGING WITH ACCESSORIES you likely wont get them back.
