I gather that you recently purchased the 14-d005tx Notebook and the Bluetooth was working fine. However now it will not discover and Bluetooth devices, although they are discoverable.

Has there been any recent updates or changes to your system?

Step 6. Select "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Step 7. Select "Microsoft" at "Manufacturer" list
Step 8. Finally select "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link".

If you are still unable to pair with a Bluetooth device try the following:.

Step 1. Search for "Change device" in the Windows 8 Start menu.
Step 2. Click on where it says Change device installation settings.
Step 3. Select the No, let me choose what to do option.

As well you can try this.
