Hi,
I have installed a new wif card in my laptop. The Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2×2 Wi-Fi Adapter, Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter.
But no bluetooth device is visible in the device manager after installing the wifi and bluetooth drivers. Wifi is working perfect.
Under hidden devices also no bluetooth device visible.
Regards,
Christian

Hi,
I get this from the command line:
Physical Address Transport Name
=================== ==========================================================
00-FF-1A-B5-67-50 Media disconnected
38-63-BB-77-B2-5E Media disconnected
B8-56-77-E3-4F-24 \Device\Tcpip_{}
So if one of the devices is bluetooth. Why can't I see it in the device manager?

Hi
So Fake or Faulty? Not pin compatible?
Copy, Paste and Save in Notepad, as LBB.bat (not a .TXT) and double click to run.
Preferably run as an Administrator.
OR
Copy and use the individual command lines as needed.
Post anything non-personal, but relevant please.
