    Hi guys, I own a 17 R2 GTX 970M.

    I bought a brand new Bose Soundlink III and this one can connect Bluetooth to other cellphones and computer just fine.

    But when I turned on my Bluetooth on the 17 R2 and find for the Bose it just took forever I wonder if the 17 R2 Bluetooth is not compatible with my R2.

    Have any of you guys experienced such same problem? Please let me know.

    Thank you.

    Does it have drivers? Have you tried installing those? Also, try updating the drivers for the bluetooth card on the Alienware from the manufacturer's site.
