Hey, I randomly woke up to find my PC could not recognize my inbuilt Bluetooth adapter.

They usually ask if you powered down and restarted the device. The steps for connecting afterward depend on the gadget and its operating system. Windows 10 likely has clear guidance online, but these details can be scarce depending on the manufacturer and product range. There might be misleading information online since companies sometimes craft instructions to promote their own products. Updated August 10, 2021 by Bombastinator

Ask ASUS, it might help.

I attempted to restart the system multiple times, reinstalled the latest Windows updates, and performed some basic troubleshooting steps mentioned on the Microsoft website. Is there a hardware problem involved? (It worked fine until the day before, since I regularly use Bluetooth headphones and speakers.)

I've sent them an email, but they're slow to reply and just send it forward to the right department. Their customer service line isn't working either—it doesn't respond when I call.

The only part of Bluetooth I can think of that might be somewhat fixable is the antenna connections, but it doesn’t seem like a typical user issue. If it’s a hardware problem and it’s built into the motherboard, you’d need to return it for replacement. Bluetooth’s connection behavior is quite unstable, so I suspect a hardware fault before it’s a software or firmware issue.

If you choose to use the service, remember to prepare your PC properly. Be mindful of storage during disassembly—ensure important files are backed up and consider keeping essentials handy. You may lose some data depending on the repair process, so plan for a full reinstall if needed.

Ensure all components are unplugged from the motherboard prior to removal. Disconnecting power is safer since live voltage remains active after unplugging. The storage unit is also connected, so avoid risk of damage through that connection. Using anti-static bags is recommended. It’s convenient to ship parts together, as they simplify packaging. If missing these, a company-provided box (when available) and a small bag for screws can help. Document the disassembly with photos of each screw position for accuracy. Prioritize speed—remove the cooler and CPU, then thoroughly clean them before reassembly. When reassembling, aim for a shiny finish, as paste often leaves residue. Stronger alcohols like isopropyl aid cleaning. For AMD CPUs, specific handling is needed to prevent damage; LGA sockets require extra care due to delicate pins. If you retain the socket cover, avoid complex fixes and stick with protective plates. Gold items should never be handled—use edges for gentle work. Magnetized screws can be substituted with a fridge magnet if needed. Always keep safety in mind.
