Can't get bluetooth to work (xps 630i)
Hi,
I'm running a 630i with the delivered Windows Vista 32 bit. Recently i wanted to try out the bluetooth device intergrated in the 19-1 cardreader, but i can't get anywhere with it.
So far the only thing i know, is that is a Name: CAB-200 p/n RU73, at least that is what i could find on the forums.
I installed the driver from the cd.. but that didn't gave me anything. Also drivers from internet didn't activated it.
There is still no bluetooth device listed under windows, and my question is.. how do i find it.. or get it to function. The blue light on the device is burning.. so it should be operational.
However, i can't find any software to detect bluetooth devices to my computer.
Any of you have some bluetooth experiance with the xps?
Kind regards,
Xen
Ps. the reason i want my bluetooth to work, is so i can get my wiimote connected to the computer.
Edit
I found a good program to enable/disable bluetooth (bluesoleil), but this also gives me the same result.
"can not start bluetooth,bluetooth hardware not found"
So i'm still stuck with finding the right driver/tool to enable the device..

Hey,
Thanks for the response. I tryed the link as you recommended, it worked somehow a bit.
After some errors after the install i did a reboot and went to the device manager. I found a bluetooth PAN netwerk adapter, but nothing with Dell or something.
Also i still can't find a way to enable it. According to windows, there should be a tab in the controlpanel with my bluetooth devices, but nothing here unfortunatly.
Glad it worked for you though.

Try this link. I used the 64 bit version of this to get my BT working

Hi,
It worked out of the box for me on my 630(with Vista) when it arrived. However, I recently rebuilt my PC and the driver on the Recovery DVD did nothing for me too. On sniffing about here on the forum I found that if you download the driver from the 720 support page it would work. I did and it did. Here's the link. It works with a Logitech keyboard and a Sony Ericsson headset with no issue for me.
Oh, it appears in the device manager as "Dell Wireless 355C Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR module"
Funny that they've not put this driver on either the 630I or 730 section. Dell, you might want to look into that!
