Hello!

I have a problem connecting my bluetooth headset to my laptop. I am wondering if any of these drivers are suitable to install for my laptop model:

hp integradet bluetooth model, HP nc4200, HP nx 7000 or HP usb bt TRANSEIVIER 1.2

Hi:

The Bluetooth in your notebook is an integrated circuit on the Wi-Fi adapter.

There isn't a separate Bluetooth module like there was on the older notebooks used a dozen years ago and earlier.

For at least that amount of time, Bluetooth has become part of the wireless adapter.

If the Bluetooth isn't working, you would have to replace the Wi-Fi card.

Below is the link to the service manual:

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

If your notebook has the Realtek 8821CE Wi-Fi adapter, you will have to replace it with the same model, as the other model Wi-Fi cards listed in the manual require two antenna wires, and notebooks with the RTL8821CE Wi-Fi adapter only have one antenna wire.

Your other option would be to use a USB Bluetooth adapter from any manufacturer.

If your notebook has a Realtek Wi-Fi card, have you tried updating the Bluetooth driver to the latest version?
