    So i got the bigfoot killer n-1103 card with built-in bluetooth.

    Although I dont see any bluetooth info in the Killer network manager app, I see 2 bluetooth devices in my hardware manager: on port com3 and port com4.

    when I press fn+f12, the keyboard led does not turn on, and I do not get any onscreen message.

    I downloaded Bluesoleil program and when I click: "enable bluetooth", i can see above my windows 7 taskbar:"busy starting bluetooth", but it does not start, and the keyboard led still won't turn on. After 30 seconds, I get the message: "Can not start bluetooth. Bluetooth hardware not found".

    I added a screenshot with some information

    Hey the Killer 1103 does NOT have bluetooth on it. So that may be the issue you are seeing.

    Looks like someone at some point put a bluetooth adapter (maybe a little stubby one) or something like that, and thats what left over.

    right click on the icon in your task bar.
    does it open a box with receive and send on it?

    If I translate this right:

    Classic mode(greyed out)
    Explore Bluetooth-locations(greyed out)
    Plug-Ins manager(greyed out)
    Properties of my device(greyed out)
    My Bluetooth-device...
    Enable bluetooth

    sorry, right click on the bluetooth icon

    mine normaly shows up in the start menu and right clicking on the icon opens a box with send or receive and then you do just that send will open your picture folder or receive will give you a list of paired devises.

    gotta add tho mine is not bigfoot
