  Hello

  I need device driver bluetooth for windows 7 64 bit for sony vaio

  device driver Bluetooth for windows 7 64-bit sony vaio

  Please help me

  -Nicolas

  After spending an obscene amount of time researching this Bluetooth stupid nonsense this week, I finally opted for a solution.

  This is how to solve the "Bluetooth peripheral device is not a driver:
  I use the following materials in a dozen different tests:
  -Only for Broadcom based on USB from Belkin and Targus dongles
  -Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on four different computers
  -4 different Bluetooth headphones: Plantronics One, a matrix and two Motorola
  -Bluetooth file transfer wasn't of interest, but I tested with two different phones
  This guide will be useful for those with similar... hardware configurations and for those who have tried all the other nonsense without result.  Especially that many times repeated "Just install Windows Mobile Device Manager."
  -- -- --
  Step 1: Ignore 99% of you think that you have learned about this problem.
  It will be * probably * boil down to a missing COM port.
  Step 2: Certainly ignore the bit about installing the Windows Mobile Device Center
  (Unless you have a Windows Mobile-based phone and/or have another use for a flavor of Windows 7 of Activesync).
  Step 3: Stop looking for a driver for something called a "Bluetooth device device.
  There is no such thing. If you look at the Bluetooth installation take place, you will notice that all the components of the Bluetooth technology initially as "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" and then once Windows ID each element, the appropriate driver is installed and the name replaces "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" to something like "Hands-free Bluetooth Audio" or "Bluetooth Remote Control" etc.
  -- -- --
  Unfortunately, most of the people reading this will have tried one or more of the following:
  1.) install this stupid Windows Mobile Device Center
  2.) install any number of drivers Bluetooth who-knows-what from who knows where
  (3.) running all kinds of utilities third driver
  4.), forcing several facilities from pilot to operate in Win98, XP or Vista
  5.) sacrificing countless animals
  The end result is a plethora of useless software and/or driver and/or updates... facilities and some dead animals.
  -- -- --
  Instead, here is the solution.  I tested it with three different USB Dongles (2 Belkin and Targus 1) and on four different machines: HP, Sony, Toshiba and another HP. Two were newly not framed with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and two have been upgraded to Vista to the same OS.
  With each machine, I plugged the following helmets: a legend of Voyager from Plantronics, Motorola S9, Motorola S805 and matrix AF62 and a Samsung S3 and an HTC Android.
  So I guess it's fair to say that it is a solution for one of these dongles... but in reality, most based on Broadcomm USB dongles is affected. I ran across these stages in four different boxes after checking that the beast ""Bluetooth peripheral device is not a driver " "
  appeared during installation.
  1.) If you did any of the unsuccessful steps mentioned above, enter the control panel and delete everything that you have installed.  Kill all the entries Broadcomm or Widcomm bluetooth. Delete all 3 rd-party driver maintenance apps. Restart a machine clean.
  2.) locate and install a Broadcomm 6.0.1.6300 OR 6.2.1.500 driver.  Either one works, but the last (most recent) has much better management tools for Bluetooth device
  .  I tested the installation of separately and also starting with 6.0.1.6300 and then upgrade to 6.2.1.500.
  (Ignore the stupid Updater Driver Broadcomm they grow to their website - it is useless for the majority of us out there.)
  (3.) that you install one of the above, you will see a notification regarding the installation of the various components.  Click this pop-up window and watch the progress.  You will see that each "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" Gets a new name, as the related driver is installed.  In my tens + tests, each & every item at this point got the green check mark of success.
  4.) now attempt to pair the device of your choice
  .  IF only the manufacturer provides separate drivers, do not install them again, regardless of their instructions.  See how Windows gets its own.
  5.) as soon as the match starts, you will see more notifications for individual driver components.  Click on one of them and observe a similar progression... Except that you will have a ""Bluetooth Device device ' with the dreaded Red X and the complaint that no driver was found. "
  6.) do not despair
  ! This happens the first time connect you a new Bluetooth device.
  7.) wait for the installation to complete.  Despite the dialog box display the list of components of Bluetooth with a red X, you probably have another window saying that the perfectly paired Bluetooth device.  But you and I know that he didn't. Confidently click to close this dialog box.
  8.) open Device Manager (via the Control Panel, the computer properties), and you will discover that cursed Device Bluetooth that is sitting there in the Middle under 'other devices '.
  9.) right click on the Bluetooth device with the yellow exclamation mark under 'Other devices' and select 'Update Driver' - then:
  Click on:
  a.) browse my computer for driver software
  (b) let me pick from a list of device on my computer drivers
  (c.) in the common hardware types list, select:
  --->>> Ports (COM & LPT)<>
  d.) d.) under manufacturer, select Microsoft
  e.) depending on the model, choose "Standard Serial over Bluetooth Link" & click "next".
  f.) when you are prompted with the update driver warning, click 'yes '.
  g.) with joy to read the message that "Windows has updated the driver software.
  (h.) read for pleasure, and then click "close".
  (i.) to confirm that this disorder is really fixed (assuming compatible devices, etc.) Right-click on the Bluetooth device and choose "Troubleshoot" - that there should be no reported problem.
  10.) you shouldn't have to restart, but you POURRIEZ have need spend the power of your Bluetooth device Off & turn it on again to let it reconnect again (just NOT re-pair... re - connect). About a dozen tests, I had only to do once, and it was with a 3-year-old-Bluetooth headset.
  -- -- --
  I have argued my way in the solution by installing on a Vista machine where everything worked perfectly.  After the installation of various devices under Vista, I spotted the COM Port in Device Manager - which was the only element that did not appear in the installation of Windows 7... but instead remained at the dreaded 'Bluetooth Device device".
  Windows Mobile thing worked only for some people because it was fundamentally address a bunch of different physical possibilities... but for those who did not have success, it's because Windows Mobile Kitchen Sink approach did not include the driver Port com
  -- -- --
  Voluntarily, I don't understand not all links to the drivers as one.) change links and b.) I don't want to be responsible for some knucklehead packaging site a Trojan horse in the zip file.  Let Google your friend and your instinct be your guide.
  I will say that I used a 6.0.1.6300 directly from the Belkin site and a 6.2.1.500 directly from the site of the bridge.
  I hope this saves people a lot of frustration.

• Device Atheros Bluetooth on Windows 7 problem

  I have Acer Aspire One D255E, and the sticker at the bottom of him. said that its Aspire one D255E-13DQkk. I am facing difficulties with the use of bluetooth radio. I downloaded Atheros Bluetooth Driver/16.0315.101.0/106.0 MB/2010/07/30 and Driver Atheros Bluetooth (3.0) (AR3011)/6.04.004.1/104.3 MB/2010/10/19 of your Web site, but none of them does. The system install Bluetooth suite properly and icon invented the taskbar, but I'm unable to turn on bluetooth. I also tried key Fn + F3, but it gives only the option of Wifi. Previously, I used the bluetooth on Windows 7 Starter but its does not work on Windows XP. I pressed the Fn key and tapped F3 key, but it don't did me not an option to activate the blue tooth. Rather windows ask me that new hardware is detected, and then I gave him the place where lay the blue tooth driver. It then installs the blue tooth and I managed to use the blue tooth finally. But today when I turned on my laptop the State even where it was. I thought I have to press Fn + F3 key to activate blue tooth, but after several listenings, I did not do anything. I have been frustrated by these things and I decided to install Windows 7 Professional. I managed to install Windows 7 Professional without effort. But the bluetooth problem is still there. I tried to press ALT + F3 and Fn + F3 but nothing happen. Here, I would like to point out one thing that when I bought this laptop, it gives me an option to toggle Wifi and blue tooth in a popup window (I think Launch Manager was the program) but now when I am pressing Fn + F3 button it only toggle Wifi no popup to toggle wifi and blue tooth. I installed Launch Manager even then it only gives me option to toggle wifi and blue tooth. I installed Windows 7 Professional as a clean install. I rebooted my system in Mode safe and managed to install blue tooth. Then I closed the laptop yesterday, but when I introduced it, today, it does not show the Blue Tooth device in Device Manager. I tried to hit the F3 key while Fn key, but it only turning device off the Wifi, it does not give me an option for blue tooth. Please advice what step should I take to install all drivers of my laptop after doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional? Please note that I tried to re - install Launch Manager but it gives me no option to turn on/off blue tooth they way there earlier when I bought this laptop. Let me say once more that when I bought this laptop all drivers and software have been installed by default and when I pressed Fn + F3 button it opens a new window, and ask to toggle wifi and blue tooth.

  I managed to install blue tooth and it worked quite well, but today when I turned on my laptop there is no blue tooth installed. I don't know that after installing the Bluetooth properly (and also used after installation) why Windows shows no device Bluetooth in device manager when I turn on my laptop after a while.

  Hello

  As you have already tried to install the drivers and also tried reinstalling the entire operating system, the issue seems not to be linked with Windows according to my research, it is possible that the problem is related with the built-in Bluetooth provided by the OEM (Original Equipment manufacturer).

  Also the launch of the program manager is a program distributed by Acer which is OEM.

  So to get help on this issue I suggest you to contact the Support of Acer. The link to the Acer support is provided below.

• Drivers Dell 370 Bluetooth for Windows 10

  I have Dell Studio 1555 and looking for the drivers of Dell 370 Bluetooth Mini Card Windows 10.

  BT is not detected in W10 and Device Manager shows no odd entries.

  I tried to install the drivers from the Dell website, but they cannot be installed even in compatibility mode.

  Please provide the same.

  XPS 1645 370 BT driver Win 10. > I had the same problem and what I found was that I needed to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall the Broadcom of Windows 7 driver software. Once I did I then used the Broadcom drivers for Windows 10 provided by Lenovo (which is identical to Broadcoms but the works of the Installer). Lenovo Broadcom driver version can be found on the link below. (if the link is broken just get Lenovo Broadcom Bluetooth Windows 10).  Another issue that needs resolved is garbled audio via BT and which can be solved by downloading the audio codec Realtek HD 10 Windows. I hope this information is useful to anyone who has faced the same problem. Personally, I know that I spent many hours with Dell and Microsoft is desperately trying to get this resolved. Luckily I have just given and plugged away to my own research and managed to get the issue resolved. It took me about 3 hours of research and five minutes to actually get it going (including reboot and device pairing). So happy that I got this solved... good luck.

• Synchronize my Sony Experia Neo V via Bluetooth for Windows 7 (64 bit) on a ThinkPad - where to find the correct drivers?

  Hello

  I struggled to sync my phone to my laptop for quite awhile, so I decided to take a deep dive and that's what I found:

  The error I get is:
  "Bluetooth device not found driver."

  Msft told me to turn to the website of the manufacturer of the bluetooth device (plenty of advice here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2654568) as follows:

  To resolve this problem, you need to install the driver for your Bluetooth device. If your Bluetooth device came with a driver disk, you will need to go to the device manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver for your device. To do this, visit the hardware manufacturer and browse the latest Bluetooth version for your device driver. Follow the instructions.

  Sony support page as seen here http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-pro-Xperia-neo-V-Xperia/Bluetooth-Peripheral-Device-Driver-not-Available/td-p/162203, where he states that following:
  "Its the same for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft is not ship drivers for battery bluetooth together in past versions of Windows. What you need to do to get these drivers is to contact the manufacturer of the chipset bluetooth on your computer. Normally, they have some sort of bluetooth software that will allow all the bluetooth profiles. Normally you don't need the bluetooth stack to use the phone with the computer, but of course it depends on what you're trying to do. »

  Right-click on the Bluetooth icon on my laptop and select "Show settings" and I check the tab hardware and what I find?
  "Manufacturer: Microsoft'"

  So I feel like I'm back where I started?

  What should I do and where can I find the drivers that are required for synchronization between my laptop and the laptop works, please? It is urgent.

  I already gave up the option of Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 because apparently it only works for Windows Vista (according to this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/931937), and is not what I have.

  Very grateful for the quick responses and the support on the issue.

  Best,
  Miranda

• I have a problem with installing the driver bluetooth for Windows 8.

  Original title: cannot install the bluetooth driver

  I have Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit).  I have problems with the bluetooth (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230) driver that will not be installed.  The

  error I get when using the driver (downloaded directly from Intel) Intel says "did not write the SupportDLL value in the \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BTHPORT\Parameters key.

  \Radio support.  Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team. »

  Windows Update also displays several times this driver, but it fails to install as well.  If I remember correctly, the error is "access denied."  I contacted Microsoft earlier

  technology has taken control away from my computer and found the same problem.  It disabled all startup and restarted, but we do not have to reconnect after reboot, that's why I'm

  contact you again.  I'm guessing that something has gone wrong in the remake because precisely, I noticed it has disabled my facial recognition software, yet when he

  restarted, it took even my face.

  I am logged as administrator and I have also tried to right click on the .exe file and run as administrator, but it does not help.  I tried

  uninstall/reboot/reinstall with no luck.  I also tried several programs microsoft fix - it, but even once, no, I also tried to contact Intel by CAT and they

  were no help either.

  I tried also to navigate to this key in the registry editor, but I get an error message that says "error opening key.  Parameters cannot be opened.  An error is

  This key prevents open.  Details: access denied. »

  Finally, I'm frustrated and ran a repair of Windows 8 (could not restore because when I upgraded to Windows 8 Windows 7, somehow restorations have been disabled and I did not notice for about a month).  Then, I used the bluetooth driver directly from intel and everything works again.  I will say that when I ran the repair, he removed Windows Media Center (since it is therefore more part of the OS, but an add-on), but it's a very small price to pay for everything works correctly.

  Thanks for the help everyone!
