    How do I know if bluetooth is working?

    On the SR290; I have the bluetooth panel open. When I try to access Bluetooth Settings, it doesn't load any dialog box. When I try to add a device, it doesn't seem to be able to detect anything. I have a cell phone, vx8300, and this audio device (FS300 from MSI), but none of them are seen when I put them in discovery mode. The phone and the FS300 pair up fine. Is there a way to check if bluetooth is actually working, besides buying a bluetooth device to test it?

    Fixed it - disabled the service and forgot about it.

    Thanks,
    - Eli
