<< Solved >> G77N Bluetooth issues

[esc247]

Hi,

I have a really old build, where I recently decided to clean install my hackintosh.

I initially installed Catalina, when, I believe after updating to 10.15.1 my bluetooth started to cause issues. I can see the bluetooth, can see devices showing up on it, but when trying to connect to a device, I "conection failed" error.

I tried to clean install Mojave after that, but the issue still persists.

Can someone please help? What do you need in order to help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance

Hi there.

What type of Bluetooth adapter do you have?

Hi there.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. My motherboard has built-in bluetooth. The GA-Z77N-WIFI motherboard bluetooth is Intel. I started having issues after updating to Catalina 10.15.1. It was still working up until 10.15. Not sure if the USB update that was provided as part of 10.15.1 caused the issue, but I completely clean installed Mojave 10.14 to see if it brought back BT, but that did not help.

Thanks

I eventually gave up and bought a Belkin F8T065BF Bluetooth adapter, was prettty cheap. I opened up my case, and took out the internal bluetooth/wifi card, and then simply plugged in the adapter into one of the USB ports and powered up the hackintosh. Worked right out of the box!
