    Hello

    Recently my laptop had some issues, so I had it fixed by a local technican. However, he stole one of the RAM sticks..
    Now I noticed that my Blutooth is also not working, however WiFi is - and as I understand, BT module and WiFi are in one piece so it shouldn't be possible to take one without the other, correct?

    Under device manager I see only this > Atheros Bluetooth Bus
    I have tried redownloading the drivers from Asus website, which did not help.

    One thing I would like to note out, is that I also have MotionJoy installed and with a little Googling I found that some people had problems because of that.


    Do you guys have any idea how to fix this?
    Or how can I check if I actually have a Blutooth module installed at all? (WiFi module is the same as always)

    Have you tried cycling through Fn+F2 to enable bluetooth?

    Of course.
    I have reinstalled the Wireless Console too and both options are ON.

    Open up Device Manager and see what Wifi adapter is installed. Let us know what you find.
