OMEN Laptop - 17-cb1003ns
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

For some reason my Laptops Bluetooth stopped detecting any device. I have no clue what might have caused it since I haven't made any major changes to my Laptop. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and installing them again, reinstalling windows and a few more things but nothing seems to work. I don't want to go to a repair shop just to be told it was a software error or something I could have fixed. Is there a way at home to check if the chip broke? Any ideas?

I see that you are facing an issue connecting Bluetooth devices  to your Laptop.

Follow the below steps to fix the issue.

 

A) Perform a power drain on your PC.

2) Disconnect the power cable from the AC adapter if it is a detachable part and keep it aside.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the AC adapter, then connect it to the wall and to the charging port on your PC.

5) Power on the PC and check if it boots into Windows now.

 

B) Install all the pending updates for the Windows operating system following the below steps.

go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates. If the upgrade is available for your device and you want to proceed, download and install it.

Thanks a lot for the reply, but sadly nothing worked. Tried everything in the order you wrote but nothing changed.
