Problem faced:-
- Bluetooth disappeared
- The On/Off toggle for Bluetooth is nowhere to be seen
- All the previous paired BT devices are still showing with the subtext: Bluetooth turned off
- Device Manager also does not show Bluetooth
Physical Condition:-
- The Bluetooth card is properly and securely inserted into the device
Inference:-
- Judging from the above points we could infer that the Bluetooth driver could be the issue.
Research:-
- This particular laptop uses Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth Adapter and uses the Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth driver to run
Solution:-
- Try downloading the driver from the Acer product support website and installing it
- For this particular laptop, the drivers can be found here: Product Support - Predator G9-793 | Acer United States
- Restart the PC so the changes take effect.
- Bluetooth should be up and running as it used to be.
- Uninstall and reinstall the same driver if the problem persists (I got it working on the 5th try)
Result:-
The "Bluetooth disappeared" issue is completely fixed and I am making this post to help others facing similar problems.
P.S. This problem might return as it did to me. Repeat the process mentioned above to fix it again.
