    Hey guys got a question for you guys. On my m1530 sometimes when i start up the laptop my bluetooth mouse wont function. To get it to function i have to turn off the wireless and then turn it on again using the switch on the side. After this happening a few times I went to the device manager to see if anything fishy was going on in there the next time it happend and saw that the dell blue tooth with erd device had a yellow exclamation mark beside it.

    I belive the error itself was a error 40 or 42. It seems all it takes to get it to function again is to disable the device and enable it again. Is this something common or is the device itself defective. I have noticed that the mouse will stutter at times, I am not sure if this is because the device is malfunctioning or because of wireless interference.

    Any input on this issue?

    It's common. If you search in the Dell forum you will see others talking about it. It seems to happen more often recently to me.
