GF65 Thin No Bluetooth or Wifi Adapter (Fix)
Hi Everyone,
About 5 days ago I woke up and my GF65 did not have a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi option. I first notice bc my Bluetooth mouse wasn't working. In device manager, the Bluetooth tab had disappeared and my Wi-Fi adapter had a yellow triangle next to it. I tried updating the driver, rolling back the driver(option was not there), I deleted and downloaded a new driver from MSI website, googled(searched through forums) and watched a ton of YouTube videos. Nothing was fixing my issue then it occurred to me to go on MSI customer support to seek an answer.
In the chat the agent told me to:
- Power off
- Unplug my charger
- Turn the laptop over(upside down)
- I had to locate a small pin sized hole on the middle right next to one of the screw holes.
- Use a paperclip to press the button and hold for 40 seconds.
- Power on
- Reconnect Charger
Once powered on, I went to device manager and saw the Bluetooth tab(option) again. Then I switched my mouse from 2.4 back to Bluetooth.
Still no change with the Wi-Fi as the yellow triangle was still there. So I disabled, then re-enabled. Poof, everything was back to normal.
Edit: He told me I was discharging the battery and re-detecting the devices on the unit with the steps above.
