I know I've been absent from the forums for a while. However, upon updating my Latitude D820 to Windows 7 I have discovered that my 350 Bluetooth card does not function properly. My HTC Touch Pro can sync fine with the laptop via Bluetooth, however neither my mouse nor keyboard wish to function normally. I have tried everything I can think of to get this thing to work to no avail.

If anyone has any info on how they got theirs to work with keyboards and mice I'm all ears. If you have the 350 and was thinking about upgrading to Win7 DON'T at least until Dell gets off their lazy butts and releases some freaking drivers.

just after I removed 7 from my XPS, too, you are slow on the pickup for me to solve it

anyway, just use the Vista drivers. the BT driver architecture hasnt changed (aside from adding audio to the universal support)

Yeah Conda, I had been using the Vista drivers, but after the 5th time installing them it finally took. I was too friggin tired at that point to come back and update. It just wasn't easy on my D820 for some reason. I think it just has something to do with the way the Bluetooth hooks into the D820.

Well, I spoke too soon. Damn thing stopped working again and I've spent a few hours today trying to get it working again. I'll set my Dell BT mouse to pairing mode, pair it with the system but the mouse never exits pairing mode.

Hello,

I had the same problem with my M1730. This is the driver I downloaded from Dell and it worked perfect for my 350 Bluetooth card.

Thanks for the tip Metalman, but for whatever reason that driver stalls at the "Wireless Switch" prompt. I'll switch the Bluetooth on and off several times and nothing.

It's weird because it's JUST the keyboard and mouse that don't seem to work. My Cell phone can link up fine, though I haven't tried my Canon ip90 yet.

Sorry to hear that Evil. With my M1730 this driver works better with win7 then when I was using vista with the Dell drivers.
Keyboard and mouse is about the same, but my Motorola HT820 works much better with these divers. With Win7 Microsoft drivers I had to first turn on my headset then start my computer for Bluetooth to see my headset. Now I can start my headset any time and Windows will see it.
