I have acer 4253 laptop with amd e350 processor and 2GB RAM attaced. Initially the bluetooth worked well with windows 7. Later I turned off the adapter using the preinstalled OEM software 'Bluetooth Suite' by atheros. Then accidentally i deleted the bluetooth suite software. The bluetooth adapter was not even detected in hardware device manager. When i reinstalled the bluetooth suite, i shows as if i have no bluetooth adapters. At first i thought that my adapter was damaged somehow. I realized that this was untrue when i first installed ubuntu 11. The bluetooth adapter was detected in linux and worked seamlessly.. Later I purchase windows 8 and did a fresh install. The bluetooth adapter was still not visible. Later I dual booted with ubuntu 12 and fedora 17 . The bluetooth appeared in both linux distros but not windows 8. Is there a way i could bring my bluetooth back to win 8?
