Hi. First of all thanks for this cool laptop. Unfortunately, I'm having problems with the bluetooth module.
The bluetooth doesn't seem to detect my devices (my phones, another laptop and my tablet)
I've tried installing all the available bluetooth drivers listed for my device with no success.
Could someone suggest a fix for me. I really need the bluetooth module for syncing my devices.
Thanks and have a good day.

Okay guys, here's an update..
After installing/reinstalling drivers with no reported errors, it came to my thought that it must be a windows bug.
So i've decided to reinstall windows and then I cancelled the windows update
(I've decided not to update to SP1, so I'm on the original Windows 7 build).
Then I installed the appropriate driver for my device (Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS was the new device name) and it is now working smoothly.. I tried sending/recieving files, streaming Audio thru A2DP, object push
and everything works..
I think bugs are still present in the windows 7 SP1, especially on the bluetooth part.
I guess everyone should try to Turn Off Windows Update.
Well then, Thanks to everyone who helped me.
