I recently purchased the RF710-S02US and love it. The only problem I have had is with the internal bluetooth. I have searched everywhere without any luck. This is the second rf710 in 2 weeks with the same problem. The bluetooth works fine at the beginning. My mouse pairs fine and works great. About a week later it just stops. I tried removing the mouse from the bluetooth devices and then repairing. The laptop sees the mouse but the mouse does not leave pairing mode. I try pairing another device, same problem. I did a complete restore and still no luck, so it is not a software conflict but a problem with the actual bluetooth module.
Samsung does not seem to know of a problem. What are the chances that 2 laptops have the same problem?
Does anyone have any ideas?

I would be tempted to blame Bluetooth. In my experience it is fine for making short durations such as to connect to a phone but permanent connections, such as with a mouse, seem to fall over in the way you describe (although I could usually get it running again in a couple of minutes. That was with a Logitech mouse so it was difficult to blame the mouse.
