16 May 11
I have a HP G62-361TX laptop whose bluetooth is not working. It shows it;s status is on but does not detect any new device. I gave the command hcitool scan but it returns nothing. I think the bluetooth driver is not installed. How can I solve this??

Hi,
What Linux OS are you using?
You can see if the kernel bluetooth stack is loaded by checking for the bluetooth driver in your list of loaded modules, e.g.:
lsmod|grep bluetooth
service bluetooth start
Is Bluetooth enabled in the BIOS of your machine?
Is there are hardware on/off switch (or Function key combo) for Bluetooth/Radio on your laptop?
