hey guys, so i've had my asus u80v for about a year now, and just a few days ago i noticed that my bluetooth has stopped working, meaning that for whatever reason it doesn't even show up in my device manager. i checked my task manager and services and everything is enabled. i can't even reinstall the driver software because it keeps telling me that "device cannot be discovereD" or something like that..

any ideas?

ps. the bluetooth adapter HAS been working before, as in i have used it to transfer files from pc to pc, pc to mobile, etc

Have you tried performing a system restore back to a few days ago when your bluetooth was still working?

i would but i don't know when it stopped working exactly, could've been months ago.. i've checked that my wireless connections are all enabled but it's very strange how it doesn't even appear in device manager
