    I searched for about 2 hours last night trying to get my bluetooth to work but it just would not work! Some info

    -Blue bluetooth light on the right is not lighting up
    -fn + f2 does nothing, and hitting the radio switch on the left also does nothing
    -tried the infamous R159805.EXE but the file just opened and closed and did nothing
    -Also tried the following files; R140135 , DELL_WIRELESS-370-BLUETOOTH-_A02-1_R235898.exe , Bluetooth_Broadcom_V7a_6.2.1.500.zip

    Does anyone have any advice?

    Does your Bluetooth device show up in Device Manager? Are you sure that the Bluetooth module is working? Also moving to Inspiron/Studio subforum.
