Bluetooth

ccluedo

Hi, I seem to have lost Bluetooth on my Dell Inspiron N5010. No longer on taskbar and don't see it under Device Manager either.
Have tried a couple of system restores but no idea when it disappeared to be honest as rarely use it.
Also tried SGS2 finding it as an available device but no luck.

Anyone got any idea how I can get it back pls?

Thanks

Thanks custardy, when I "analysed system for driver updates" on Dell support site it only came back with a video driver and a monitor driver. Would the Bluetooth one have shown up there if it was missing?

If you go on the Dell site with your service tag.
you should be able to find all the drivers for your laptop

Yep, that's what I did
ie the driver isn't showing as missing so it won't make it available for download.
