My Bluetooth capability is not being recognized on my 24-b029c

[SonshineGirl]

Hello - My bluetooth capability is not being recognized on my 24-b029c.  I went into services and checked off automatic connection under blue tooth and restarted my computer and it did not fix the problem.  I ran the troubleshooter and it keeps telling me I do not have blue tooth capability.  This is the specs for my touch screen all in one HP:   Wireless: Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.0 M.2(19)(26)   

Anyone out there have a solution?

Welcome to HP forums, I see that you are getting Bluetooth connectivity issue on your computer.

Let's start with the Hard Reset: (To release any excessive static causing the issue). 

This method works for a variety of Driver connection and ‘stuck’ program issues. 

• Shut down the computer 

• Disconnect all external devices - everything. 

• Remove AC power and the battery 

• Press and hold power button for at least 30 seconds 

• Reconnect the AC power (only), 

• Power on > Login 

• Next time you shut down the system, reinstall battery and follow the below steps.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers.

Hi Sandytechy20  - I tried your suggestion (I have a desktop all in one model so no battery to remove?) and it didn't work.  Under "services" my bluetooth stuff shows up and I've made sure it's all running - put two of them on automatic - the other wouldn't do that but I manually started it.  I ran the bluetooth trouble shooter and it tells me that bluetooth is not available on this device.  But it is  -Bluetooth 4.0 m2 is what is on my spec sheet for the system (HP Pavilion All in ONe 24-b029c).  Any other suggestions?  I've installed all my updates that have come up.  I checked for any new bluetooth driver updates - there was one on Dec. 25/17 so I tried installing that one to see if it would help - it didn't  - althouth when I restarted there was a new bios update installed again .... .  Any other suggestions?

Thanks again for the suggestions - I do not have bluetooth listed under by device manager.  I know this is supposed to mean I do not have bluetooth capability but I do   - I have used it in the past and it is listed on my spec sheet as noted in previous message above... ??  Thanks for any assistance you can provide...

I just looked at another suggestion - and clicked on hidden devices - I now can see my bluetooth button - the message says 

Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.  

Not sure how to do this or how it got disconnected?
