041030 - Software installed for bt500 USB adapter reported on 101231 2216.
041031 - ref SDS 11 JM5J  Should prior software be uninstalled before setting
041032 - up new Bluetooth internal USB adapter?
041034 -  ..
041035 - Pat commented that an external Bluetooth adapter often sends a
041036 - stronger signal than the internal adapter.
041038 -  ..
041039 - Pat opened the FedEx box received Tuesday 110111 1028, for HP order,
041040 - per above. ref SDS 0 Q88F  Inside was a very small plastic sealed bag

041075 - Pat did research before arriving and in order to be prepared for the
041076 - site visit.
041078 -  ..
041079 - He first checked c17 Device Driver and noticed that Human Interface
041080 - Devices lists...
041081 -
041082 -         Bluetooth HID Device
041083 -         Bluetooth Remote Control
041085 -  ..
041086 - He feels this indicates Bluetooth is already configured.  Pat tried
041087 - the wireless mouse and found it does not move the pointer on the
041088 - screen.
041090 -  ..
041091 - Pat checked Bluetooth Add Device in the Control Panel.  He got the
041092 - same notice...
041093 -
041094 -                     "no device discovered."
041095 -
041096 - ...reported by HP Technical Support on 101231 2216. ref SDS 11 LK6H
041098 -  ..
041099 - Pat pressed the reset button on the bottom of the mouse to synchronize
041100 - with the internal bluetooth receiver in c17.  This failed to enable
041101 - Windows 7 to "discover" the mouse in the Bluetooth Add Device Control
041102 - Panel.
041104 -  ..
041105 - Pat tested the mouse with use on c16, an HP HDX 18t notebook computer.
041106 - After starting c16, he saw the wireless Targus mouse works with
041107 - Bluetooth protocol on c16.
041109 -  ..
041110 - Pat feels that the Targus wireless mouse that works for the HP HDT 18t
041111 - notebook computer may not be compatible with the HP Pavilion Elite HPE
041112 - 490t desktop computer.  He explained that Bluetooth is designed as a
041113 - universal standard so that components, like the Targus mouse, should
041114 - work equally and interchangeably, as Kristin explained during the call
041115 - with the HP Sales Department on 101018.  Pat clarified that his
041116 - experience shows variance among manufacturers applying standards
041117 - causes interchangeability to fail.  He feels this may be the problem
041118 - using the Targus Bluetooth wirless mouse with the HP Bluetooth
041119 - wireless technology in c17 - HP Pavilion Elite HPE 490t desktop
041120 - computer.
041122 -  ..
041123 - To further investigate c17, Pat installed the new part, per above.
041124 - ref SDS 0 UU4F
041126 -  ..
041127 - Pat brought to the meeting instruction documents for installing the
041128 - new adapter.  The documents include pictures showing the new Bluetooth
041129 - part, system layout, and sequence of steps for performing the work.
041131 -  ..
041132 - HP system pictures show the Bluetooth is behind the front panel of the
041133 - computer completely separate from the wireless LAN adapter installed
041134 - in PCI slot on the main board.  This layout is considerably different
041135 - from the product description that indicates Bluetooth is part of the
041136 - LAN adapter.  The front panel on the computer is accessed by first
041137 - removing the side panel, which accesses the mainboard.  This enables
041138 - swinging the front cover panel from right to left.  The panel then
041139 - comes entirely loose from the computer chasis, and can be set aside
041140 - for re-installation after doing the work.
041142 -  ..
041143 - Pat found there is a Bluetooth adapter already installed.  This
041144 - explains why Bluetooth is identified on the Windows 7 right task bar.
041146 -  ..
041147 - Pat noticed the Bluetooth adapter was installed incorrectly according
041148 - to HP documentation.
041150 -  ..
041151 - Pat indicated the bt500 Bluetooth USB adapter failed on 101231 2216.
041152 - ref SDS 11 LK6H, possibly because of conflict with the internal device
041153 - installed backward.
041155 -  ..
041156 - HP product installation documents show the face plate label visible.
041157 - However, the Hawk Bluetooth adapter was installed in c17 at the
041158 - factory with the circuit side visible, and the face plate was on the
041159 - inward side of the chasis, so the label was not visible.  Discussed
041160 - how the adapter could have been installed backward, since normally a
041161 - part can only installed one way in order to avoid mistakes.  Pat
041162 - explained the critical element is for the receiver to be facing the
041163 - front of the computer for optimum reception of the signal from the
041164 - mouse.  In this case the Bluetooth Hawk adapter can snap into place
041165 - facing either direction, but facing inward toward the computer chasis
041166 - significanly reduces reception compared to design for outward
041167 - configuration.
041169 -  ..
041170 - Another explanation is that the Bluetooth receiver is defective, like
041171 - the first Radeon HD 5570 video graphics adapter installed on 101223
041172 - 1415. ref SDS 8 F56K
041174 -  ..
041175 - Pat removed the existing Bluetooth adapter and set the replacement
041176 - part with the label visible as shown in HP installation documents.
041178 -  ..
041179 - When the computer was powered up, Windows 7 detected a new device and
041180 - automatically performed plug and play processes.
041182 -  ..
041183 - Windows 7 produced a report listing numerous Bluetooth configuration
041184 - errors.
041186 -  ..
041187 - Pat checked the Device Manager and it shows Bluetooth is installed
041188 - with no yellow error marks.
041190 -  ..
041191 - Pat opened Bluetooth Add Device in the Task Bar.  He pressed the reset
041192 - button again on the bottom of the mouse.
041194 -  ..
041195 - Targus Mouse then displayed in devices found, correcting prior
041196 - failures reported first on 101231 2216, ref SDS 11 LK6H, and later
041197 - when HP Technical Support tried to configure the mouse on 110102 2033.
041198 - ref SDS 13 4733
041200 -  ..
041201 - Pat then clicked to highlight the mouse.  This caused "Next" to appear
041202 - at the bottom of Add Device menu screen.
041204 -  ..
041205 - Pat clicked on "Next" and this opens a new screen "Add the Device."
041207 -  ..
041208 - Clicking on "Add the Device," Windows 7 fails with an error message
041209 - asking for a "pairing code."  Pat checked the bottom of the mouse and
041210 - could not find a "pairing code."
041212 -  ..
041213 - Windows 7 has a choice to "add device without pairing code."
041215 -  ..
041216 - Click on add device without pairing code.
041218 -  ..
041219 - The mouse was then activated and works normally.
