Hi,

Based on the following link, your machine may or may not have Bluetooth device:

   http://www8.hp.com/au/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=5229455

Please use Device Manager to scheck under Networks to see which Wifi card is in your machine.

• HP hs2350 HSPA+ Mobile Broadband
• HP un2430 EV-DO/HSPA Mobile Broadband
• Ralink 802.11b/g/n (1x1)
• Atheros 802.11b/g/n (1x1)
• Atheros 802.11b/g/n (1x1) and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo
• Ralink 802.11b/g/n (1x1) and Bluetooth Combo
• Atheros 802.11b/g/n (2x2) and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo
• Intel 802.11b/g/n (2x2) and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo
• Intel 802.11a/b/g/n (2x2) with Bluetooth 4.0 Combo

You can see the first few crads do NOT have BT device.

Hi,

I can't see the image (it needs to be approved from Admin). What is the name of the Wifi card in Device Manager ?

Hi,

Please check #3 on my first reply. Sorry, your machine does not have Bluetooth. If you wish to use BT, an USB BT dongle can do the job:

Open the support Assistant. Your notebook has the same version as my HP Loaner Envy17-3002ea. It should show whether or not  a Bluetooth device is installed. You can use it to install the driver if the device is present but does not have a driver installed.

Click on About to update the installed version if yours is not the same as the one in the  images.

Best regards,
